Line 24: ===Weapons and Heat Sinks=== ===Weapons and Heat Sinks=== − Each 'Mech had hardpoints for the head (1), left and right torso (12 each), center torso (2), arms (8 each) and legs (2 each). Weapons were on appropriate slots to reflect the descriptions in the Technical Readouts (example: the Locust's medium laser was on a center torso hardpoint). Each weapon took up only one hardpoint on a 'Mech, but larger weapons were annotated that they should take up more than one slot. This information would have been used with the 'Mech customization bay which did not make it to the published version of the game. There was a category for "engine heat sinks", and additional heat sinks are often located in some of the 'Mechs' hardpoints as well. The total number of heat sinks always equals the number of heat sinks from the Technical Readouts. + Each mech had hard points for the head (1), left and right torso (12 each), center torso (2), arms (8 each) and legs (2 each).

Most of these 'Mechs had their weapons and equipment listed in the 'Mech selection screens in the Arc-Royal Training Center. These lists were not included in the game's Player's Guide, nor at any other point in the game. The two Locust variants and the Dragon variant were not available at the Arc-Royal, and had to be determined by examination of the game code. − − These enhanced 'Mechs were not encoded with the same attention to detail as the basic Inner Sphere 'Mechs. Many of them do not exactly correspond with variants known outside of BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge.
