Mech actuators serve as the joints of the BattleMech. It is these actuators which allow these gigantic armored robots to move with both precision and grace when piloted by elite mechwarriors. Without the actuators the 'Mechs internal structure skeleton along with it's artificial myomer muscles would be unable to function properly if at all. Damage to any of the key actuators or gyros within a 'Mech can cripple it quickly, reducing a powerful war machine to little more then an unmoving turret. Infact the Grey Death Legion conventional infantry helped develop key anti BattleMech tactics through the use of satchel charges behind the knee cap of unsuspecting BattleMechs, often crippling the 'Mechs with a single daring Infantryman.
