Said video game uses the [[MechWarrior Online]] (MWO) 'Mech models instead of the [[canonical]] classic imagery, leading to sometimes substantial differences in the visual appearance of various 'Mech designs. ''Technical Readout 3028'' was originally intended to showcase these designs as they would appear in the video game. However, the project outgrew that premise and included additional MWO-style 'Mechs, derivative ''[[Stinger]]'' and ''[[Wasp]]'' models, the [[apocryphal]] ''[[Linesman]]'', and the purely [[fanon|fan-fictional]] ''Jayhawker'', none of which appear in the game. ''Technical Readout 3028'' includes [[Design Quirks]] for all the 'Mechs it covers. Where available, Quirks were taken from canonical sources but in many cases they are merely derived from the written descriptions of the BattleMechs. Since the initial release in November 2016, revised versions were published on 17 November 2017 and 08 August 2018 that reorganized the document and added some content (extra 'Mechs, vehicles and aerospace units), but cut other content (such as the short story ''The Marik Gunfighter'', the in-character lecture on "The Medium Laser" and the "A Brief History of the IndustrialMech" appendix). Since each edition is meant to replace earlier editions, this article only covers the most recent version of the document. ==Canonicity== Being entirely fan-made, the document itself is not canonical. The data provided for individual 'Mechs is broadly derived from canonical sources, but the flavor text occasionally strays into fan fictional details or, in a few cases, purely invented information with little basis in canonical fact. It adheres to the HBS depictions not only visually, but also follows HBS in any changes they made to a given 'Mech such as changing rear-firing weapons to the forward firing arc. There are also anachronisms for the 3028 timeframe. The inclusion of a ''[[Black Knight]]'' in [[Com Guards]] paint scheme is also remarkable given that the design was thought extinct, and the very existence of the Com Guards a closely guarded secret at the time. ==Description== Styled as an internal [[ComStar]] document dated 13 January 3028 according to its preface, ''Technical Readout: 3028'' includes: *Introduction *[[BattleMech#Light|Light]] BattleMechs ** ''[[Flea]]'' ** ''[[Locust]]'' ** ''[[Wasp]]'' (Art by Fernando "Odanan" Prado, derived from work by Alex Iglesias) ** ''[[Stinger]]'' (Art by Justin Kase, derived from work by Alex Iglesias) ** ''[[Commando]]'' ** ''[[Javelin]]'' ** ''[[Spider]]'' ** ''[[UrbanMech]]'' ** ''[[Valkyrie]]'' (Art by Justin Kase, derived from work by Alex Iglesias) ** ''[[Firestarter (BattleMech)|Firestarter]]'' ** ''[[Jenner]]'' ** ''[[Panther]]'' * Medium BattleMechs ** ''[[Assassin]]'' ** ''[[Cicada]]'' ** ''[[Vulcan]]'' ** ''[[Blackjack (BattleMech)|Blackjack]]'' ** ''[[Hatchetman]]'' ** ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' ** ''[[Vindicator]]'' ** ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' ** ''[[Crab]]'' ** ''[[Enforcer]]'' ** ''[[Hunchback]]'' ** ''[[Trebuchet]]'' ** ''[[Dervish]]'' ** ''[[Griffin]]'' ** ''[[Kintaro]]'' ** ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' ** ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverine]]'' * Heavy BattleMechs ** ''[[Champion]]'' ** ''[[Dragon]]'' ** ''[[Quickdraw]]'' ** ''[[Rifleman]]'' ** ''[[Catapult]]'' ** ''[[JagerMech]]'' ** ''[[Thunderbolt]]'' ** ''[[Archer]]'' ** ''[[Grasshopper]]'' ** ''[[Warhammer]]'' ** ''[[Black Knight]]'' ** ''[[Marauder]]'' ** ''[[Orion]]'' * Assault BattleMechs ** ''[[Awesome]]'' ** ''[[Charger]]'' ** ''[[Victor]]'' ** ''[[Zeus]]'' ** ''[[BattleMaster]]'' ** ''[[Stalker]]'' ** ''[[Cyclops]]'' ** ''[[Highlander]]'' ** ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'' ** ''[[Nightstar]]'' (NSR-10C; A noncanonical Succession Wars era downgrade of the ''Nightstar'') ** ''[[Annihilator]]'' ** ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' ** ''[[King Crab]]'' ** ''[[Marauder II]]'' * New Designs and Prototypes ** ''[[Raven]]'' ** ''[[Wolfhound]]'' **JHR-X0 ''Jayhawker'' (a supposed [[Succession Wars era]] prototype predecessor of the ''[[Bushwacker]]''; not canon) **KPLT-K2 ''Katapult'' (this is effectively the CPLT-K2 ''[[Catapult]]'', presented here as a different 'Mech because of conflicting sources regarding the popular CPLT-K2's availability in 3028; KPLT-K2 ''Katapult'' is the established designation from the German edition of BattleTech) ** ''[[Cataphract]]'' ** ''[[Hatamoto-Chi]]'' ** ''[[Linesman]]'' (apocryphal predecessor to the ''[[Daboku]]''/''[[Mauler]]'') * Appendix A: Vehicles, [[IndustrialMech]]s, and Aerospace Assets ** [[Swift|Swift Wind Scout Car]] ** [[APC|Armored Personnel Carrier]] ** [[Mobile HQ|Mobile Headquarters]] ** [[Scorpion (Combat Vehicle)|Scorpion Light Tank]] ** [[Galleon|Galleon Light Tank]] ** [[Striker (Combat Vehicle)|Striker Light Tank]] ** [[Bulldog|Bulldog Medium Tank]] ** [[LRM Carrier|LRM]] / [[SRM Carrier]] ** [[Manticore|Manticore Heavy Tank]] ** [[Roughneck|LDK-5C ''Loader King'']] (Art by Justin Kase, derived from work by Alex Iglesias) ** [[Demolisher|Demolisher Heavy Tank]] ** [[Schrek|Schrek PPC Carrier]] ** [[Mobile Long Tom|Mobile Long Tom Artillery]] ** ''[[Leopard]]''-class DropShip ** ''[[Gazelle]]''-class DropShip ** ''[[Union]]''-class DropShip ** ''[[Invader]]''-class JumpShip ** ''[[Argo (DropShip class)|Argo]]''-class DropShip ==External links== *[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rhti_ROmgGQU3vxg-tVjrd_FlP0YoFyB/view?usp=sharing Download link] *[https://community.battletechgame.com/forums/threads/1273?page=1 Pertinent thread] on the HBS BattleTech video game forum [[Category:Meta-Sources]]
