Chassis

Mech variants
'Mechs are categorized by technology base and weight class. Light 'Mechs weight between 20 and 35 tons, Medium 'Mechs weigh between 40 and 55 tons, Heavy 'Mechs weigh between 60 and 75 tons, and Assault 'Mechs weigh between 80 and 100 tons.

Light 'Mechs and usually Medium 'Mechs are generally used for scouting. Because of their speed, they are more efficient for revealing terrain and capturing resources. They are also cheaper and carry less weaponry than Heavy and Assault 'Mechs, which makes them more expendable than costlier units.

Heavy 'Mechs and Assault 'Mechs are the primary units of combat. Although slower than their lighter counterparts, they have a significant increase in armor and carrying capacity. Heavy 'Mechs of the Clan technology base are exceptionally fast for their size, which makes them formidable at many roles.

Although Clan technology features the strongest and fastest 'Mechs, Inner Sphere technology boasts significantly cheaper chassis' and components which can end up overwhelming Clan technology through sheer quantity. Additionally, Inner Sphere technology has the only stock 'Mech that is equipped with advanced sensors, the Raven. While larger Inner Sphere 'Mechs lack speed, the smaller 'Mechs excel in speed and manueverability, boasting the fastest jumping 'Mech, the Hollander II, and the farthest jumping 'Mech, the Stilletto.
