INTRODUCTION 2
To: General Raymond Gideon, MI2 HQ, New Avalon
D

ear Ray,
The last couple years have been rough on the grand plan our Republic friends were pursuing. The vision of a universe where swords were turned into ploughshares has ended
in a new Dark Age of conflict. Nobody knows what their neighbors are doing and, consequently, everyone is turning on each other. Every podunk militia is a potential customer for
outlandish, haphazard constructions straight out of a dystopian nightmare, and arms factories that took decades to start producing civilian goods have returned to military output
overnight.
In the reports my teams ceaselessly compile, we generally cover the potential threats that individual BattleMechs pose to their enemies. Today, we’ll look at the ones that pose
a threat to their owners. It is of no surprise that the myriad of IndustrialMech refits result in more than a few duds; the market for such refits remains strong no matter the cost. The
same can be said of the various chop shops still persisting on Solaris VII, though it is disappointing that the Republic, of all nations, was the one to help revive VEST. More surprisingly,
even well-established producers have no qualms turning R&D failures into commercial successes.
A little byproduct of our usual work, we hope the following amuses you. It shall be our textbook contribution to the old adage: Buyer beware!
—Major Jonas Heathcote, 31 October 3135
…which is of course not what we are really telling you, the reader. Other than the bottom line, everything else in the above introduction is real—the following 13 ’Mechs
are a byproduct of work on various Technical Readout or sculpting projects. Particularly, they are not-so-serious variations of units found in Technical Readout:
Irregulars, the Recognition Guide: IlClan series, and miniatures concepts related to Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade’s Solaris VII section. We hope you have fun—if
these pique your interest, be sure to check out the real products!

GAME NOTES
Experimental Technical Readout: Caveat Emptor covers a wide breadth of units and equipment. To understand how these various units plug into the core BattleTech rulebooks, it’s useful to
cover how those rulebooks interact.
Standard Rules
Total Warfare (TW) and TechManual (TM) present the core game and construction rules for BattleTech, otherwise referred to as the Standard Rules.
Advanced Rules
Beyond the Standard Rules exists a legion of Advanced Rules, allowing players to expand their games with more complex weapons, equipment, and battlefields. These Advanced Rules are
contained in four additional core rulebooks, each building off of the previous rules set.
Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules (TO:AR) and Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (TO:AUE) are the first of the advanced rulebooks. The former details exotic terrain, special
cases, and other advanced gameplay rules, while the latter offers new weapons, equipment, and unit types beyond those found in the standard rules.
Strategic Operations (SO) is the second advanced rulebook, focusing on action spanning a solar system as well as aerospace game play.
Interstellar Operations (IO) offers the final level of play, where players can assume the roles of a House lord or Clan Khan and dominate the galaxy.
Finally, various modes of campaign play are covered in a one last core rulebook, Campaign Operations (CO).
HOW TO USE THIS EXPERIMENTAL TECHNICAL READOUT

The rules for using ’Mechs in BattleTech game play can be found in Total Warfare, while the rules for their construction can be found in TechManual. However, the nature of these designs
also draws upon the Advanced- and Experimental-level rules presented in Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules (or Interstellar Operations, in the case of the Porcupine), and reflects their evolution
as presented in the Jihad Technology Advancement Table starting on p. 206 of Technical Readout: Prototypes. As a result, none of the units featured in this volume are considered tournament
legal (or even construction legal!), and their use in introductory games is discouraged.
The following three definitions are applied to the various units that appear in Experimental Technical Readout: Caveat Emptor:
Standard: Most of these units can be used with Total Warfare rules only, but some Advanced rules items may be present, requiring Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules, Tactical Operations:
Advanced Units & Equipment, or Interstellar Operations for full effect.
Advanced: Applied to units which have been mass-produced “in universe”; Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules, Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment, Strategic Operations and/
or Interstellar Operations, in addition to Total Warfare, are required to use these units in game play.
Experimental Rules: These units were not mass-produced “in universe,” either because they were prohibitively expensive, extraordinarily sophisticated, exceedingly difficult to maintain,
or deemed simply too unreliable or restrictive for widespread deployment. Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules, Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment, Strategic Operations and/or
Interstellar Operations, in addition to Total Warfare, are required to use these units in game play.
Design Quirks (Optional)

Every unit described in Experimental Technical Readout: Caveat Emptor may have one or more positive and/or negative Design Quirks (see p. 225, CO; p. 82, BattleMech Manual; or p. 204,
TRO: Prototypes). These quirks give each design a unique flavor, but their use is optional and should be agreed upon by all players before play begins.

of keeping the pilots’ skills sharp without the burden of

Some say that necessity is the mother of invention,

and this is clearly evident in a Buster refit observed on
Mississauga. A Lyran backwater planet several jumps

and unimportant to require regular LCAF defenders.

To get around the power issue, Chief Technician Gyro: 2
Francis Zappa had a “eureka” moment and decided to create Cockpit (Industrial): 3

and the cable. The militia’s techs also installed a better fire Center Torso 16 5

In the depths of the world’s many deserts, tales have R/L Torso (rear) 9
surfaced of a jury-rigged Uni IndustrialMech being used as R/L Front Leg 15 21
an artillery carrier. The ’Mech features a Thumper artillery R/L Rear Leg 15 21
field gun that has been permanently attached to it. Empty
cargo containers welded to the ’Mech’s flatbed form the
pedestal on which the weapon is mounted and also seem
to have been converted into ad hoc living quarters for the
pirates and garages for their small vehicles and loot. The
Uni’s armor and heatsinks have also been upgraded, at the
expense of the environmental sealing and lift hoists.
The ’Mech seems to serve as the pirates’ operating
base and has been used to extort supplies and valuables
from outlying settlements. The Uni moves into artillery
range, and the pirates issue their demands. Should the
target not provide the stated supplies, they are shelled into
submission. Once the blackmailed loot has been dropped
off at a safe distance from the settlement, it is collected by
a number of retrieval teams in lightweight dune buggies,
who then speed off in separate directions to evade any
potential pursuers.
The best efforts of the on-world Fifth Rim
Commonality Guards have been unable to capture the
pirates. Pursuit is hampered by a lack of air assets, as the
pirates simply disappear into the deserts and badlands that
make up the majority of Astrokaszy whenever they are in
danger. Although the Sword Breakers have been able to
corner the odd member of a loot retrieval team, none have
let themselves be taken alive for questioning.

Among the handful of BattleMech firms to survive

Design Concepts (IDC) entered the thirty-second century
doing what it did best: updating old designs with the latest

if anyone bothers to read it. In truth, IDC was swept aside
after the Jihad as the Inner Sphere’s major BattleMech

the latest technologies. Boutique design firms like IDC Equipment Mass
