The ProtoMech Magnetic Clamp System occupies one slot in the ProtoMech's torso, regardless of weight. Quad and Glider Protos may not use the MCS. The MCS weighs 250 kilos for any ProtoMech five tons or lighter. A MCS for a ProtoMech that weighs six to nine tons weighs 500 kilos, and the system weighs 1000 kilos for a ProtoMech that weighs ten tons or more.<ref name="TWoRp200"/>

A ProtoMech with an MCS can catch a ride on a 'Mech, regardless of type, per the Mechanized Battle Armor Rules, but each 'Mech can only carry two ProtoMechs. These two ProtoMechs are carried on the Front or Rear Center Torso locations only. In the case of Ultraheavy ProtoMechs, the 'Mech's carrying capacity is reduced to one and must be carried on the front center torso. As ProtoMechs are heavier than Battle Armor, their presence on the 'Mech will reduce the unit's top speed per the rules for carrying external cargo. An OmniMech that carries ProtoMechs subtracts 3 from the weight of each ProtoMech when computing the total weight. (For example a ''[[Delphyne]]'' carried by an OmniMech would be considered a six ton unit instead of a nine ton unit.)<ref name="TWoRp200"/>
