Description
The original Commando used prototype equipment that was similarly primitive to those found in the first BattleMech, the Mackie. This version was completely replaced by its successor. First constructed in 2463, the 'Mech was equipped with only an Odin Large Laser mounted in its right arm.

Description
The original Commando used prototype equipment that was similarly primitive to those found in the first BattleMech, the Mackie. The COM-1AK is a Retrotech variant of the COM-1A, produced by Periphery powers who can't quite make a true BattleMech but need something to look scary to pirates. It drops the Large Laser of the -1A for two Medium Lasers and a Small Laser, with the rest of the tonnage going into armor.

Description
The predecessor to the 2D, the Commando 1D was meant to give the MechWarrior a little more long range punch with a Large Laser at the cost of some of its armor. While the 2D is superior in most aspects, there are still a number of this older design still in service today.

Description
A very recent variant, the 3A mounts a pair of SRM-6 racks and supplements its close in firepower with a Flamer. It is an excellent quick strike 'Mech, but suffers in drawn out fights due to a limited supply of ammunition for the SRMs.

Description

Description
The COM-5S was the first Commando to feature Star League technology. Its new targeting system links an Artemis IV Fire Control System to the SRM-6 and exchanges the SRM-4 with a Streak SRM-2. Additionally, the chassis has been upgraded with Endo Steel, the armor has been upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous, and CASE has been added to protect the ammunition.

Description
Often forgotten, the COM-1C nonetheless inspired this, a Federated Commonwealth testbed for the Rotary Autocannon system. Where the -1C carried an Autocannon/2, the -7C ups the ante with a mighty Rotary Autocannon/2, capable of spitting out 6 times the damage. Unlike the earlier design though, the -7C carries no backup weaponry and is based around a more fragile Light Fusion Engine.

Description
Wulfbanes, along with cat pictures and an impenetrable accent, came with this mech. This Commando, affectionately called the Commando Wulfbanes, or COM-WB, is a heavily modified COM-2D. A full skeletal rebuild has been performed so that it can benefit from Endo-Steel construction. A large XL 200-rated engine gives it immense speed, while 4 SRM-4s provide focused firepower. However, the armor and heat sinks remain unmodified, making it a bit of a dangerous ride. Wulf though likes it that way.

The COM-WB is only available through the Cat Love event chain.
