== Notable BattleMechs == Over the span of seven centuries there has been like a bajillion different makes and models of Battlemechs, most of which have at least a couple variants ranging from swapping out one brand of armor for another to rebuilds which put it into another weight class and combat role. As BattleMechs can last for centuries and are rather resilient things that can more often than not be at least partially salvaged after their pilot has been removed, there are still plenty of vintage units out and kicking. For a comprehensive list, go to [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Main_Page Sarna]. Never the less, here's some notable mechs. ==== Ultralight ==== * Flea - the lovechild of a [[All Terrain Soup|AT-ST]] and a [[Sentinel]] walker. Good speed and sensors but avoid being shot, Only was a ultra-light weight in certain early models, while later models have it at 20 tons thus at the lower end of the Light class. * Celerity - Created by Comstar, it's one of the first drone Mechs. Resembles some quadrupedal drones in the real world. * Road Runner - Called the Emerald Harrier by its Jade Falcon creators, it has the dubious distinction of being sold to the Republic of the Sphere by the Sea Foxes as a nifty scout. * Prey Seeker - One of the fastest Spheroid Mechs, it was created by the Feds for raiding during the Dark Age. ==== Light ==== '''Inner Sphere''' * [[Commando]] - A heavily armed little trooper. * [[Firestarter]] - Walking warcrime that deletes infantry. * [[Hollander]] - Mech with a big gun, or big gun with legs? You decide! * [[Jenner]] - The frontline light. * [[Locust]] - A speedy little mech totally not stolen from Crusher Joe. * [[Panther (BattleTech)|Panther]] - A slow little sniper. * [[Raven (BattleTech)|Raven]] - Only I get to decide whose targeting systems work. * [[Spider (BattleTech)|Spider]] - For fighter pilots who accidentally got assigned a mech. * [[Stinger]] - Really. Believe us. Not stolen. * [[UrbanMech]] - The little trash can/mech that could! * [[Wasp]] - Totally not taken from Macross. '''Clan''' * [[Adder|Adder/Puma]] - A light sniper. Naturally, as a clan mech, it outguns inner sphere mediums. * [[Cougar]] - A heavily armed Jade Falcon light. Rumors that it was named after a certain trainer should be reported to your commander. * [[Fire Moth]] - I am speed. * [[Howler]] - Clanner’s first missile boat. * [[Kit Fox|Kit Fox/Uller]] - A well-armed clan mech with cute little ears. * [[Piranha (BattleTech)|Piranha]] - It turns out 12 miniguns on something moving 150 km/h will chew through anything. * [[Horned Owl/Peregrine]] - Used to look like a Zaku-II from the original Gundam anime it now looks like the Death/Dark Army suit from G-Gundam otherwise a solid Clan light mech ==== Medium ==== '''Inner Sphere''' * [[Blackjack]] - Mini rifleman. * [[Centurion]] - Classic, reliable, and dependable trooper. * [[Cicada]] - Overgrown light. * [[Crab]] - Carcinization is all the rage, even among mechs. * [[Enforcer]] - The very picture of “average medium”. * [[Griffin]] - And back to IP infringement accusations. Jumpy sniper. * [[Hatchetman]] - The cutting edge of 31st century tech: a really big axe. Usually min-maxed for jumping. * [[Hunchback]] - The original "My, what a big gun" mech. Available in lots of flavors. * [[Phoenix Hawk]] - Max wants his plane back. No, it doesn’t look like something from Macross, stop asking. * [[Shadow Hawk]] - Definitely not copied from any anime inspired by Suns, Fangs, or Dougrams of such. Surprisingly mediocre. * [[Trebuchet]] - Flings missiles while wearing a stylish little hat. Centurion's BFF. * [[Wolverine]] - A frontline medium that makes clanners froth at the mouth at its mere mention. '''Clan''' * [[Coyotl]] - The first ever OmniMech. A speedy fucker that proved the technology worked, though it would take later OmniMechs to push it to its limits. * [[Ice Ferret (BattleTech)|Ice Ferret/Fenris]] - A fridge with a PPC. * [[Nova (BattleTech)|Nova/Black Hawk]] - Laser boat famous for melting itself. * [[Stormcrow (BattleTech)|Stormcrow/Ryoken]] - The clan's GEQ to the MEQ Timberwolf. * [[Viper (BattleTech)|Viper/Dragonfly]] - A jet that grew legs. ==== Heavy ==== '''Inner Sphere''' * [[Archer (BattleTech)|Archer]] - Your standard missile mech, now with fists.

Exactly what it says on the tin. * [[Black Knight (BattleTech)|Black Knight]] - Frontline command mech that can lose limbs and keep fighting. * [[Cataphract]] - A bunch of broken mech parts glued together. * [[Catapult]] - Proud parent of clanner children.

Like piloting Heavy Mechs? Call me. * [[Jagermech]] - Dakka dakka dakka. * [[Marauder (BattleTech)|Marauder]] - Proud parent of clanner children, deported for being an illegal alien from another IP. Than bought back after a redesign to avoid lawsuits. A strong generalist. * [[Orion (BattleTech)|Orion]] - The poor man’s atlas. If it's good enough for Kerensky, it's good enough for you. * [[Rifleman]] - Proud uncle of clanner children. Was also deported for shooting other illegal aliens despite being an illegal IP alien as well. Has a strange dislike of aircraft. * [[Thunderbolt]] - Have we said the word “Dougram” enough yet? An all-rounder that runs hot. * [[Warhammer (BattleTech)|Warhammer]] - Ripped from the cover of the first book, and from Destroid before that. '''Clan''' * [[Ebon Jaguar|Ebon Jaguar/Cauldron Born]] - A clan mech that doesn’t know how to die. * [[Hellbringer|Hellbringer/Loki]] - When you can’t decide what weapons to bring, so you bring them all. You didn’t really need that armor. * [[Mad Dog|Mad Dog/Vulture]] - The clan’s archer, meaning more speed, more firepower, 10 less tons, and 3 times the price. * [[Summoner (BattleTech)|Summoner/Thor]] - Thunder and lightning to bully those smaller than you. * [[Timber Wolf|Timber Wolf/Mad cat]] - The bastard lovechild that everyone loves. All purpose clan heavy that defines “Omnimech”. * [[Woodsman]] - An Ol' Reliable that would see service alongside the above Timber Wolf that's descended from it designwise. ==== Assault ==== '''Inner Sphere''' * [[Annihilator]] - You like shotguns? * [[Atlas]] - Big Death!
