That's not even the best use of omnimech designs. having a modular mech like that would make battlefield repairs incredibly quick in the field. You could rapidly take off the damaged sections and have them either brought to the ground so crews can work on them from every angle, or just plug in a replacement module and get the mech back into the fight while the damaged section is overhauled in the field or shipped back to depot. It's like the power pack in an Abrams tank. If it's broke, you easily just pull the whole thing out. Then you can work on it where it isn't crammed into the vehicle or jam a new unit in from your on-hand spares.
