Design Notes
The MiningMech & MOD BattleTech stats were designed prior to introduction to Total Warfare & TechManual which introduce industrial grade & commercial type armor. The MiningMech has standard BattleMech armor which sets it aside from other designs. The MiningMech has little written about it. The MiningMech MOD-B has some fluff on which to manfacture this "refit" of the design. The MOD-B's Hydrualic Pile Driver suggests this is a variant of the civilian version of the MiningMech.
