− OmniMechs constructed from standard materials are more expensive than comparable BattleMechs of similar weight. While the initial invasion gave the impression that Clan ''[[Touman|toumans]]'' consisted solely of OmniMechs, even the wealthiest or most powerful Clans can only afford to outfit their front-line formations with OmniMechs. Second-line forces in most Clans generally utilize more cost-effective standard, Clan-tech BattleMechs, or old Star League designs.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055'', p. 92</ref> + OmniMechs constructed from standard materials are more expensive than comparable BattleMechs of similar weight.

OmniMech Pod-mounted weaponry and equipment is incompatible with standard BattleMechs. Even for identical classes and brands of equipment, only ammunition can be installed interchangeably. Adding or removing the OmniPod connections to weapons and equipment is possible, albeit time consuming, and adds additional time to repairs. For mixed formations of BattleMechs and OmniMechs this adds an artificial separation for spare parts, and requires duplication in supply chains and logistics.<ref name=SO-182/> OmniMech Pod-mounted weaponry and equipment is incompatible with standard BattleMechs.
