− Thanks to their transforming ability, LAMs combine some features of aerospace fighters and BattleMechs, as well as a hybrid mode called AirMech mode. While highly versatile, LAMs are jacks of all trades and masters of none. While able to serve double-duty as both an aerospace fighter and as a BattleMech, the required conversion equipment means that a LAM in either mode has less combat capacity ton-for-ton than a fighter or 'Mech of equivalent weight. Even in the Star League era, the heaviest LAM to see action on the battlefield was 50 tons. This significantly limits their effectiveness against heavy and assault weight aerospace fighters and 'Mechs. + Thanks to their transforming ability, LAMs combine some features of aerospace fighters and BattleMechs, as well as a hybrid mode called AirMech mode.
