With the destruction of many [[BattleMech]] factories in the [[Jihad]], the '''''Mjolnir''''' was designed for the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]'s export market. By selling the ''Mjolnir'' to any interested party, the Lyrans would gain much needed capital to rebuild their factories and restore their industrial might.<ref name="TRO:3085p60+"/>

To maximize profits, the designers focused on using existing successful 'Mech parts and components. Drawing from the ''[[Commando]]'' and ''[[Wolfhound]]'' designs, the ''Mjolnir'' entered production at [[Arc-Royal]] only a few months after being designed. Using [[single heat sink]]s, a standard chassis, and a normal engine reduced production costs. The [[jump jet]]s allow the ''Mjolnir'' to cover 180 meters, and [[Triple Strength Myomer]] allows the 'Mech to put on short bursts of speed when the temperature range permits. [[Ferro-fibrous]] armor provides protection while reducing weight.<ref name="TRO:3085p60+"/>

The ''Mjolnir''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s most obvious feature is the [[mace]] carried in the 'Mech's left hand. Based on the [[hatchet]] originally used by the ''[[Hatchetman]]'', the mace combines with the [[TSM]] to inflict considerable damage during hand-to-hand combat. To provide covering fire, the ''Mjolnir'' uses a torso mounted [[ER medium laser]], while an [[ER small laser]] in the right arm allows the ''Mjolnir'' to threaten [[battle armor]]ed infantry.<ref name="TRO:3085p60+"/>
