[. . . ] The 8 'Mechs from MechWarrior 4: Inner Sphere 'Mech Pak and MechWarrior 4: Clan 'Mech Pak also work with MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. However, in order for these 'Mechs to be available for use, their corresponding 'Mech Paks must first be purchased and installed. You can use 'Mech Pak 'Mechs for Instant Action and Multiplayer play, but they are not available for Campaign play.

FLEA CLASS: Inner Sphere Light ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 4. 5 Endo Steel 97 35 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 4. 5 Endo Steel 132 20 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: ER Lg Laser, ER Med Laser, ER Sm Laser, Clan LRM 10 (2) Sm Laser (2), MG Array (3) COMPONENTS: None No COMPONENTS: BAP Yes JUMP JETS: JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The Cougar is an OmniMech first introduced by Clan Jade Falcon during the battle of Coventry. Its chassis is that of a highly modified Clan Adder (known as a Puma to Inner Sphere forces). [. . . ] The result was an OmniMech with excellent versatility. It has an advantage over other heavy 'Mechs in that it has a good blend of maneuverability and heavy firepower, with the ability to strike from all ranges. The Thor is wellsuited as a backup to heavier 'Mechs on the battlefield and is a favorite among the Jade Falcons. 10. 5 meters FIELD NOTES: The Clans' Vulture is aptly named for its hunched shoulders, protruding head, and birdlike legs. Although slightly smaller than the Inner Sphere's Catapult, it possesses a similar appearance and similar strengths and weaknesses. It differs in that its lower torso Omni slot adds to its versatility. Its huge twin missile racks mean it can carry more missiles than most 'Mechs, and it thus proves very good in a fire-support role. 10. 0 meters 15 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS ATLAS CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault AWESOME CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 18. 0 Standard 51 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 15. 0 Standard 70 80 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: 100 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: WEAPONS: Sm Laser (3), PPC (2), LRM 15, Gauss Rifle Med Laser (2), PPC (3), SRM 4 COMPONENTS: JUMP JETS: No COMPONENTS: None No ECM, LAMS, IFF Jammer JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The original Star League designed the Atlas to ensure the superiority of its regular army over the growing armies of the House Lords. General Aleksandr Kerensky, Star League supreme commander, called for a 'Mech "as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally. " The result was the ideal brutal-assault 'Mech, carrying more armor than any other 'Mech, capable of slugging it out with the best the enemy can throw at it. 13. 0 meters FIELD NOTES: The Awesome has long been a favorite among the armies of the Inner Sphere, so when designers were tasked with upgrading the 'Mech they were understandably apprehensive. But the new design proved to be a real improvement over its predecessor. The Awesome is good in a support role to heavier 'Mechs. It is among the lightest and fastest of the assault chassis, but it is well-armed, boasting three PPCs in its standard weapons configuration. 11. 0 meters 16 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS DAISHI CLASS: Clan Assault FAFNIR CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 14. 5 Standard 51 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 18. 0 Endo Steel 53 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: 100 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: 100 WEAPONS: ER Lg Laser (4), ER Med Pulse Laser (4), Clan LRM 10, Clan Ultra AC 5 (2), Clan MG Array (2) WEAPONS: Lg Laser (2), Med Laser (3), Heavy Gauss Rifle (2) COMPONENTS: None No COMPONENTS: None No JUMP JETS: JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The Daishi is the reigning king of the 'Mechs, easily the most potent force on the battlefield, particularly when firing all weapons at once. Its name is derived from a Japanese word meaning "great death, " allegedly so-christened by the Draconis Combine's criminal underground. Its weapons loadout consists primarily of missiles, making the Longbow the heaviest 'Mech used in a fire-support role. It should be deployed with other 'Mechs for protection. 10. 0 meters FIELD NOTES: Though it bears a remark- able outward resemblance to the Mad Cat, the Mad Cat Mark II is a new creation developed by Clan Diamond Shark. It has all the speed, armor, and firepower indicative of a Clan assault 'Mech, and its Jump Jets give it good agility. When equipped with short-range weapons, the Mad Cat Mark II is good for close-quarter city fighting. When loaded with long-range weapons, it is a fearsome fire-support 'Mech that requires little protection. 12. 5 meters 20 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS MASAKARI CLASS: Clan Assault MAULER CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 13. 5 Endo Steel 77 85 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Reactive, 13. 0 Standard 65 90 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: H PAK EC INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: ER PPC (2), Clan LRM 15, Clan LRM 20, Clan Ultra AC 5 COMPONENTS: JUMP JETS: No R E Q IR E U D C LA N Med Laser (4), LRM 10 (2), Ultra AC 2 (4) 'M COMPONENTS: None No Enhanced Optics JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: A favorite among the Clans, the Masakari is an assault 'Mech in the truest form. With its squat torso and jutting head, it is easily identifiable and has become notorious in the Inner Sphere. Good armor and heavy firepower make it well-suited as a command 'Mech or as support for heavier 'Mechs. The Masakari formerly appeared most frequently among the Smoke Jaguars, who typically paired it with the Daishi, but it is also common to see it among Clan Ghost Bear forces. *Clan 'Mech Pak must be installed to use; cannot be used in Campaign play. 10. 5 meters FIELD NOTES: The Mauler is the Feder- ated Commonwealth code name for an assault 'Mech developed by the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery (DCMS). The Mauler is primarily a long-range harasser, delivering significant damage from a distance over an extended period of time. However, it can also be reconfigured to inflict massive damage quickly when slugging it out in close combat with 'Mechs of comparable tonnage. 12. 0 meters 21 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS SUNDER CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault TEMPLAR CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 16. 5 Endo Steel 69 90 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 13. 0 Endo Steel 69 85 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: Lg Laser (4), Med Laser (2), LBX AC 20 Lg X-Pulse Laser (2), Light Gauss Rifle (2) COMPONENTS: None No COMPONENTS: LAMS No JUMP JETS: JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The Sunder was an attempt to reengineer captured Clan equipment to make it compatible with Inner Sphere technology.
