you start the game with two commandos and a firestarter, and other inner sphere mechs are available to purchase and salvage throughout the game. however, the clan mechs can only be salvaged. there are 18 mechs in the original game, with 6 added in for desperate measures (3 inner sphere and 3 clan mechs). there are 3 variations of each mech in mechcommander: W (weapons variant, with more room for more/bigger weapons), A (armour, more heavily armoured), and J (has jump jets). |
