Avalanche was a frustrating, subpar unit for the Nova Cats. Yet the Kuritans and mercenaries found it a solid, reliable middleweight powerhouse.

Try your best, but appreciate what you have. Don't throw out "good" just because it's not "great."

Shadow Hawk is called unfocused, valuing variety over power. It's also one of the oldest, most trusted designs, and a famously comfortable ride.

Take time to take care of yourself, and remember it's better to be steady and reliable than flashy.

Not a 'Mech for the superstitious, Cadaver moves quickly into a fight, but often ends up outgunned. Yet Cadaver uses every trick to keep its pilot safe, making sure they get home.

Stand strong, but take care of yourself. Remember there's tomorrow.

Yeoman is a reduction of the Catapult, literally just a box of LRMs on legs. It also has the missile payload of an Assault Longbow.

Yeoman focuses on its strengths. It's not distracted by what other people say it should be.

Learn from Yeoman.

Quasit was a scam, an IndustrialMech marketed as a BattleMech. It's also a heat-neutral, armored, affordable guard, with a gun for every range, and can operate in any environment.

You don't need to lie about who you are. You've got a lot to offer.

Protomechs are seen as an silly compromise, half-size 'Mechs piloted by washouts. Those same washouts form tight-knit teams, embracing their second chance.

Some families you're born into. Others, you find. Either way, you're not alone.

Legionnaire is criticized as a derpy design that bets everything on one RAC/5.

It's also got accurate heavy firepower, and the speed of a Light 'Mech.

It doesn't matter if you look silly. If you're doing what makes you happy, you're doing great.

Stinger is dismissed as an expendable Light 'Mech with mediocre speed, weapons, and armor. Stinger is also a great testbed for new equipment and new pilots alike.

Learn from Stinger's example. Teach others, and be willing to try new things.

Flea went through many iterations, from upgraded WorkMech to Ultralight to scout to anti-infantry. After centuries it found its place as a fast-moving striker.

There's no shame in trying again. In rebuilding you may find who you're supposed to be.

Perseus was handicapped by advanced equipment taking up critical space. Yet pilots who worked with the limitations found it a customizable, powerful Heavy.

Life often crams us into a space we don't fit. Rather than give up, find how to move forward.

Vixen baffled the Inner Sphere at first: advanced equipment stuck on garrison duty. Yet Vixen was a strong duelist that fit right into Clan society.

When someone says you don't fit, it just means they don't understand. Know there's a place for you.

Owens is odd: an OmniMech with adaptability limited by permanent electronics. But it has Locust speed and solid armor, letting it spot for its teammates under fire.

Owens stays flexible while remembering to look out for its friends. Be like Owens.

Cyclops is flawed, with lackluster weapons and a big bulls-eye on the cockpit. Yet its computers are so powerful this one 'Mech can change a battle from the back lines.

Not all heroes are at the front. Some make their friends the best they can be.

Swordsman was cursed with primitive tech, rushed production, corruption, forced marketing, and rebel pilots. Yet Swordsman persevered to serve with the SLDF.

It doesn't matter if you've done everything wrong. All that matters is to keep trying.

Garm is an often-forgotten competitor to the Valkyrie. It would've been scrapped...then the Taurians realized it's a great pirate buster.

Hold fast and believe in yourself. Sometimes success is just about finding the people who appreciate you.

Roughneck is a serious underdog. It started as a simple loading 'Mech no one believed was worth the effort. It was brought into being through the sheer determination of its designer.

Learn from Roughneck. Believe in your dreams, and make them real.

Many dismiss Ares as a boondoggle, easily overwhelmed by hordes of opponents. Yet with a three-pilot crew and defense escorts, Ares can stand strong against fierce attacks.

You don't have to go it alone. With the right friends you can be a giant.

A cursed 40-tonner, Targe was a 'Mech that struggled to fit in. Yet Targe was a high-speed striker that could keep pace with lighter units while weathering hits from bigger ones.

When it feels like you don't fit, keep moving. You'll find your place.

Using outdated strategies like bracket fire and slow groundspeed in the 3080s, Penthesilea seemed obsolete at the start. But Penthesilea is a tough, self-reliant Heavy.

Don't give up because you're not flashy. Stick with what makes you strong.

A 'Mech no one asked for in response to a problem no one wanted, Bowman was changed until it was nothing like its original design. But Bowman is still a solid Heavy with impressive firepower.

Keep moving forward, even if it means changing direction.

Made to hunt infantry and armor, Calliope is slow and ammo-dependent. Yet a clever pilot can use its weapons to strike fear into even the biggest 'Mech.

Never dismiss yourself as "just a ____" or only good for one thing. When pushed, you can shine.

Plagued with overheating and glitches, Thresher II seemed like a boondoggle. Yet it proved the answer the Wolves needed on Terra, literally running uphill.

Even if it feels like you're doing everything wrong, push forward. Your chance will come.

Battle Hawk weathered hate for years over the mistakes made by others. But Battle Hawk lasted until it proved itself.

Don't let the hate of others knock you down. Keep working, let your actions prove your worth more than anyone's words could.

Lacking heavy firepower, Bloodhound faltered against other 'Mechs. Yet Bloodhound was very good at supporting units that couldn't see what it did.

Even if you're not the strongest, remember anyone can still stand up to support their friends.

Chameleon is dismissed as underarmed and undersinked, yet it is exactly what MechWarriors need to learn, and carries electronics not seen in any other 'Mechs.

Never discount a good teacher, especially not one who can throw down when it counts.
