just wondering, but what are the variants of MWO Mechs in MW4:Mercs? for example, The Raven in MW4:Mercs is the 3L due to ECM+BAP, same with the atlas being the D-DC For the Same Reason, anyone know of any others?

List:
Raven= -3L Possible due to ECM+BAP
Atlas= -D-DC Possible Due to ECM+BAP
Catapult -K2 (Spelled Katapult in MW4: Mercs)
Catapult= Other Model (CPLT-C4C Upgrade of the CPLT-C4 Likely Due to BAP and the only Mention of BAP on Sarna (Battletech Wiki) is for the -C4C)
Hunchback=Later Model (HBK-5HG, all MWO Hunchbacks are the HBK-4 Series, only 5 series Listed for MWO is the HBK-5M Listed under Unconfirmed Mechs on the MWO Wiki)
Commando=Later Model (Likely COM-7B Due to Jumpjets)
Awesome=Unknown (PPCx3, Medium Laserx2 and 1 SRM-4 is a oddball stock Loadout, Plus ECM Possible to Boot, Only Awesomes listed on Sarna that's not Custom/Personnel are the -9Q With 19 Double Heatsinks, 4th PPC and Guarden ECM, then there's the -10KM that retains the speed and ECM of the 9Q but Endo Steel Structure, Heavy PPCx2 and a Snub-Nose PPC, Introduced 2067 )
Trebuchet= Unknown (Jump Jets, 1 LRM-15, 1SRM-6 and 3x Medium Lasers makes this one a oddball, 4 Trebs got Jump Jets, the 7M and 5J That made it in MWO and then there's the -8B and -9K that Replaced LRMs for MRMs, Closest I could find is the -5J if it had a extra missile Hardpoint for the SRM-6)
Centurion= Another Unknown (AC/20, LRM10, 2x Medium Lasers + 2x Medium Pulse Lasers is another oddball Stock Loadout, Only Cent's with a AC/20 is the CN9-AH that removed the AC/10 and Medium Lasers for the AC/20 so that would leave it with the LRM-10 and AC/20 and CN9-YLW(Yen-Lo-Wang), there is a MechWarrior Wiki that lists the MW4 Cent as having 2x Medium Pulse Lasers, 2x Medium Lasers, 1 Small Laser and 2x Machine Guns, according to Sarna, only cents with Medium Pulse Lasers is the CN10-B and the CN9-YLW2 (Yen-Lo-Wang 2), No Cent's listed with Machine Guns. Note the YLW in MWO is different then the one listed on Sarna
Dragon= Another Mind **** (ECM Possible and Heavy Gauss is not Listed on Sarna for the Dragon, Nuff Said(For Now Anyway))
Highlander= Another Screwup (No ECM Possible Highlanders on Sarna, Heavy Gauss, Gauss and 2x Large Lasers + Jump jets is a bit of a oddball, Only Highlander listed with Heavy Gauss and Jump jets on Sarna is the -738 that got 1 Heavy Gauss, LRM-15 With Artemis, ER Large, 2x ER Medium Laser and a SRM-4)

Commando is one of the later versions, Dragon. Highlander and Victor are Apoc as they both mount Heavy Gauss in Arms, Catapult is based on C1 but K2 also exists. Orion is a IIC. Stalker is like a Misery on steroids. Awesome is like a 9M. But in reality most variants aren't actually variants at all, mostly just chassis with hardpoints that they felt like adding.

MW4 barely has any canon variants, this is pretty much the reason why I like it the least out of the MW series. The game had the most mechs to date, but nearly none of them were like the classic designs.

And if you should be wondering, the classic designs are detailed in the Technical Readouts and record sheets from the TT:
