LOL, if you look close enough, that's a T-34 tank hull on legs.

Looks more like an armored car, given the legs are mounted in what used to be wheel wells. The hull mounted MG and flat sloped glacius were common features on a lot of WW2 vehicles, as was the practice of strapping extra fuel to the side of the vehicle.

The Reseen version is a dramatic improvement IMO, and looks a bit less like a giraffe somebody tried to drive through a railway tunnel.

Yeah, the 2H and later models are drastic improvements over the 1H. It's a pity we don't actually have a model for the 6M there, it's easily the coolest looking quad mech in the setting (though only just, the Trebaruna comes close. It just barely loses out because it looks like it was stolen from Zoids for some reason).

My personal choice would be the Stalking Spider II.

Not only is it cool looking, it has everything a BattleTech quad needs, a turret and Jump Jets, to be effective. Plus I have a very nice mini for it. I will grant a Heavy Large Laser isn't my first choice of primary gun though.

Although, to be honest, an LL of any kind is generally a better option if you want range and power and don't want to use a PPC. A Heavy Large Laser, while suboptimal, is effective if you want to really fuck something up at medium-range.

I'll have to dig out some Heavy Gear quad striders when I'm able...

People who like quadmechs are probably freebirth scum (or sea fox clan, which is basically the same).
Actually I think it's Hell's Horses who really like quads. And eventually made quads that transform into tanks entire to troll the other clans.
Goliath Scorpion's Totem Mech is also a Quad, and one of the best looking:

You also have the Cloud Cobra and their famous Quad: the Stalking Spider:

Then, of course, there was the obscure Clan Wolf-in-Exile Quad the Jaguar:

And even the Ice Hellions got in on it with the Snow Fox:

So... uhh... that's a lot of non-Sea Fox or Hell's Horse Clans getting in on the Quadmech design, though Hell's Horses certain do have more than anyone else.

A relatively small number though. Clan Hell's Horses has:

The Boreas

The Cylllaros

The Harpagos

Probably a few more I can't remember off the top of my head. I mean, you're not wrong that other factions have Quads, but Hell's Horses tends to deploy more of them than anybody else as a general rule. Runner up, I believe, is probably Free World's league as they have four or five quads in their lineup, and I think Word of Blake has around three.

Oh wow I love how they all have walker and tracked/tank configurations. Is there anything in the lore about how long the conversion from one to another takes?

Disgusting. Very unclanlike.
Quad mechs always just look really weird to me. They remind of transformers for some reason.
