Would it be possible to put the fiction/lore of each Hero Mech in that Mech's respective stats page on this site? Backstory is such a huge element of BattleTech and it'd be a shame to lose that little bit of fluff when I delete my email. Also, I think it should be much more accessible to those who are new to the game/site.

Thought I'd give this a bump. The last two Hero Mechs were taken from BattleTech lore and thus lacked any sort of fiction in their announcements to describe their pilots. We were given short pieces for the Ilya, Fang, and Flame that described them in the current era. What is available for the Death's Knell and Pretty Baby is "old" news. The information on them from TRO: 3039 is 11 years in the past (25 years for us old-timers with only TRO: 3025). I really would like to see a small entry for them to bring us up to date on what has happened to them in those 11 years that got them here. This also would serve to get players who don't own the BattleTech products into the universe a little more.

What is a hero without a story?

I think every mech page there should have textual information, even the non-hero ones


also as an aside to be corrected, the page still shows Pretty Baby as "Coming Soon": http://mwomercs.com/...attlemechs/hero

Seconded that, CapperDeluxe!

Also: I can't seem to find info on Pretty Baby on the BattleTech wiki, anyone know what that one's story is?

I agree with this. I couldn't read anything on Pretty Baby. :(
