Help, I must be lost here.
I know there's been a page for each mech model (or at least the hero variants) with general backround information, proper infotext instead of bar diagrams with a fixed value for "Firepower" or "Armour". But click as I may, I cannot find the cursed pages. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find it?

I guess I wasn't clear, or there's somehing I'm missing.

At [color="#b27204"]http://mwomercs.com/game/battlemechs[/color] there's just stats in diagrams of the different mechs. <- Not what I'm looking for.
I can remember clearly fluff text about Ilya and Fang/Flame hero mechs when they were announced, but now I can't seem to find them.

The Ilya Muromets fluff text (pilot and 'Mech history) is in a forum post here.

Yen Lo Wang is a famous canon 'Mech, and information regarding it can be found on Sarna.net and various BT/MW related websites, as well as the forum post here.

To the best of my knowledge, the fluff text for Fang & Flame and Death's Knell was included only in the newsletter e-mails that PGI sends out (to the e-mail address associated with your forum account), rather than in forum posts.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I'd like to have that fluff text in addition to the pure stats on the mech pages. Would fill out those pages quite nicely and I like fluff texts :D
