In MW5 you are given very little info about the internals of the mech and so I figured it might help people to make more informed choices when going shopping or salvaging to get the truly good stuff as some mechs come with upgraded armor, structure or even XL engines, but you'll never know that since the game doesn't tell you.

This is not a complete list and is mostly based on my own observations and interests, but if you want me to add more I'll do so. Just ask~
> Engine rating is numbered if higher or lower than the standard rating. If there is a * on there then the engine rating is off from tabletop standars.
> Mechs in Bold are variants I would consider to be a really good choice. Look out for these.
