First let me start off by saying that when battletech started much of mech production had stopped and most mechs outside of elite house units were inherited and handed down through families. These mechs were sometimes to patchwork that they were hardly recognizable as their original design. It wasn't until the Helm Memory Core was discovered that full scale mech production really started up again.
Just because something has stopped being produced doesn’t mean that it is automatically extinct. That's like saying that because Ford doesn’t make the Model T anymore it is extinct even though a quick google search will show tons of restored and currently existing, perfect running condition Model Ts.
I said in my conditions that unless the lore specifically stated that a mech was extinct it was included even if it was super rare. I didn’t state “if common sense states that most likely, more likely than not, in all probability it is extinct….” I’m aware that some of these mechs were probably extinct but unless there is a source telling me specifically that it no longer exists I decided not to cut it. I also included mechs that only existed Ina ComStar vault somewhere.

I was going by Sarna and the Tro's, but I gotcha. I'd also point out that this is a fair point to add in the Hammerhands. That is, if you augment its available variants with Warhammer variants. Idk if you'd be amendable to that. In any case, you did a good job on your list.
