Crowned Collider: Gone. When the Automaton Queen uses Pile Bunker it grants the MCH the Targer Locked status. This lets the MCH use the Marksman's Spite attack (similar to the PVP LB).
As it is now, Crowned is the MCH's strongest attack bar Wilfire. But it's something that is done very passively by the mech. This change would instead let the MCH get the visual effect of the attack.
Not gonna touch on all of these, though I love the idea of WF having a longer duration and auto-proccing after 6 GCDs. I don't know that I'd enjoy ammo back in any form, I kinda like the way Heat Blast works compared to Stormblood MCH.

That all being said, I absolutely adore this idea for a Collider replacement. The AI for Queen is too buggy to be reliable and tying so much of our potency to it is poor design. Being able to control our burst like this would do wonders for playability, and I also agree with MikoRemi that we would need to force its use to 100 charge to make it balanceable.

Ideally, to fix Queen itself, I'd love it if pressing the summon button put a Debuff on the target called Magitech Focus or something and that designated what target our bot was attacking. We could then re-press the summon button to swap targets if needed, but otherwise it would keep its attacks on the Focused target.
