The [[MechWarrior Online]] (MWO) game offers players some special kinds of playable [[BattleMech]]s that perform different in the game than the standard 'Mech designs they are based on. The so-called "Hero 'Mechs" are one notable group among these special 'Mechs. Within the MWO game, Hero 'Mechs are exclusive variants which can only be purchased with real money in what is otherwise a free-to-play online game. They offer a unique paint scheme, a per-match C-Bill booster (currently 30%), and a custom hardpoint layout.

The Hero 'Mechs were originally based on certain historical or notable 'Mechs and [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] from [[BattleTech]] lore, particularly the "Notable 'Mechs and MechWarrior" sections from [[Technical Readout]]s (and here, the seminal ''[[Technical Readout: 3025]]'' in particular). Some new Hero 'Mechs were also created for MWO that had not previously been mentioned in BattleTech lore.

The articles in this category are individual Hero 'Mechs developed by Piranha Games for MechWarrior Online, also appearing in MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries.

They are noteworthy insofar as the fluff and lore accompanying them was declared fully canonical for BattleTech by then-incumbent CGL Line Developer Randall N. Bills (with the later exception of Hero 'Mechs from a design that was not taken from established BattleTech canon but an original creation by PGI). Depending on the fluff text and lore provided, individual Hero 'Mechs may be fully canonical, canonical only in reference to their name and class but not their exact configuration, or entirely non-canonical.
