The first true BattleMech chassis was, of course, that used on the Terran Hegemonys pre-Star League Mackie design. Though the Mackies structure was heavier than modern designs, more in line with industrial structure, in fact the techniques that went into its development would lead standard BattleMech internal structure to its apex of weight efficiency in less than forty years time. Indeed, todays standard internal structures though they may look different from Mech to Mech, are built to those same refined specifications that keep them functional, durable and relatively compact.
