The Mech Bay

The number one site for MechCommander content on the web!!

Welcome to my fan-site for the MechCommander video game series!! Feel free to look around and leave a comment :)

This site is best viewed on desktop, and is still largely a work in progress.



The MechCommander games are set in the BattleTech universe, a futuristic sci-fi setting in a dystopian age of war, which originally started as a board game that released in 1984.

The MC series consists of MechCommander (1998), its expansion MechCommander: Desperate Measures (1999), MechCommander Gold (1999) (a compiled version of MC1 and MCDM), and MechCommander 2 (2001). They are real-time strategy games for the PC in which the player is in command of various BattleMechs, piloted by MechWarriors, and must complete missions with different strategic objectives.

Although it is not a part of the MechCommander series, the 2018 PC game BattleTech is considered a sort of spiritual successor to the series. There have also been a number of fan-made MechCommander mods and games.

Site updates

12th November 2024

  • I noticed that the link to this site has been shared on at least one Discord server, so hello to any new visitors!! This site is on a bit of a hiatus at the moment while I focus on my university classes, but I'm aiming to do more updates once my Christmas holiday starts in December.

3rd April 2024

  • Added to the links page and combined it with the mods page (which didn't have anything on it anyway, but since I'm not really into modding I though I'd just put the mods I've found on the links page rather than have an entire separate page for them - other people have much better mods list pages so I'll simply link to them instead).
  • Updated the MC2 page and the MC2 characters page. Started to update the MC2 Mechs page.
  • Managed to get MCG working on my laptop yesterday, so I've been having a lot of fun playing that again :)

30th March 2024

  • Updated the MC1 page, MC1 pilots, links, and guestbook to the new layout.

28th March 2024

  • Given the home page and the about page a much-needed update!! Hoping to update the looks of all the other pages too soon.

27th March 2024

  • Hello!! Wow it's been a while... Planning on giving this site a revamp and an update soon!!

29th January 2023

  • Created a site button, to link back to the site.
  • I just realised that both comments have been removed from the comments page and I don't know why...? :(

13th January 2023

  • Worked on the MC2 "Missions" page a bit.

6th November 2022

  • Hello, it's been a while since my last update. I've been busy with university, but I'm hoping to work more on my site during my week off because I've really missed it here.
  • A few updates to pre-existing pages.

17th July 2022

  • A few updates to pre-existing pages - to prove I'm still thinking about this site and the games!! I've also been possibly thinking about either expanding this site, or making an entirely new site, about the MechAssault games, since I've been replaying MA2 recently. I want to finish writing about MC first before I possibly branch out to that though.
