Description

The Commando was built to try and compete with both the popular Wasp and Stinger light BattleMechs. The 'Mech was originally commissioned to be built in 2466 and later became a 'Mech regularly used by the Lyran Commonwealth. The Commando is designed to serve two roles. The first role is as a scout and the second is as a close range support 'Mech with its four and six tube SRM launchers. While the Commando has a ground speed comparable to both of its direct competitors, it lacks the jumping capabilities of the Wasp or Stinger. The Commando carries four tons of armor, but against anything other than other light 'Mechs the difference in the amount of armor is negligible.

Armament

The Commando carries two SRM launchers, a Coventry 4 tube and a Shannon Six Shooter, as its primary weapons. The secondary weapon is a Hesperus-B3M Medium Laser. This weapons load makes the Commando an effective urban combat 'Mech

Variants

  • COM-1A - The original Commando used prototype equipment. This version never saw full production.
  • COM-1B - During the Succession Wars, Lyran engineers revisited the 1A and upgraded it to created the 1B. The 1B wielded a Large Laser and an SRM-2 in addition to the Medium Laser. BV (2.0) = ???
  • COM-3A - The 3A variant carries two SRM-6 launchers, a Medium Laser and a Flamer. This was accomplished by removing the SRM-4 launcher and lowering the amount of the armor on the 'Mech by one ton. BV (1.0) = 392, BV (2.0) = 540
  • COM-4H - The 4H variant of the Commando is used in the Periphery and removes all of the SRM Launchers and replaces them with six Rocket Launcher 15s as well as a second Medium Laser. BV (1.0) = 628, BV (2.0) = 691
  • COM-7B - Following the conquest of Coventry by Word of Blake, the Jihadists modified the 7S to meet their specifications. The 7B keeps on ER Medium Laser in the left arm, but adds two Flamers to it that make the 7B a lethal threat to unarmored infantry. A small cockpit makes room for two SRM-4s, which are still fed from a CASE-protected ammunition bin. The weight savings enabled engineers to add enough jump jets to rocket the Commando up to one hundred-twenty meters at a time and additional ton of armor. BV (2.0) = ???
  • COM-7S - This update of the Commando is built on an Endo Steel chassis and uses a Light Fusion engine. The 'Mech carries two Streak SRM-2 launchers, an SRM-4 with an Artemis IV Fire Control System, and two ER Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 601, BV (2.0) = 658
  • Commando IIC - The remnants of the SLDF did take a few Commandos with them on their exodus. These were later upgraded with Clan technology to create the Commando IIC. BV (1.0) = 816, BV (2.0) = 978
