* Originally known simply as the MiningMech & MOD (variant), these two Mech's were introduced by [[WizKids]] as part of their original release of their [[MechWarrior Dark Age]] Collectable Miniatures Game. A part of bridging the gaps between the older "Classic" BattleTech franchise, a Dark Age Record Book was created which included early stats for the MiningMech and its armed variant.  The MiningMech's ''BattleTech'' stats were designed prior to introduction to [[Total Warfare]] and [[TechManual]] in which introduce industrial grade and commercial type armor. The MiningMech was conceived originally with [[standard armor|standard BattleMech armor]] which sets it aside from other designs and had an [[ICE]] power plant versus the current version's [[fuel cell]] engine. At the time, there was little of anything written about the MiningMech aside from appearing in Dark Age novels. The MiningMech MOD-B has some fluff on which manufacture had this "refitted" of the design.  The MOD-B's hydraulic [[pile driver]] suggests this is a variant of the civilian version of the MiningMech. It did appear in the novel, [[Fortress of Lies]], where it was used as part of the defense of [[St. Andre]] against [[House Liao]]'s invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]].
