Foot pedals control the movement of the ‘Mechs legs.
Joysticks mounted on the arms of the command couch allow a MechWarrior to manipulate a ‘Mech’s arms, as well as to torso twist a ‘Mech and target and fire the ‘Mech’s weapons compliment. Additionally, a command couch is what a MechWarrior will ride out of the cockpit if he is forced to eject explosive bolts blow away the top or side of the cockpit and the chair rides to safety on jets. The warrior’s coolant vest and medical monitors are tied into the chair and most have a small cubbyhole in the back for stashing clothing and emergency rations. The command couch is where the MechWarrior sits, restrained by a six-point harness.

However, a few four-legged (or quad) BattleMech designs exist. The majority of BattleMechs arebipedal designs.

Combining awesome destructive power and unparalleled maneuverability, the BattleMech is perhaps the most complex machine ever produced. The modern BattleMech is the end result of more than three thousand years of battlefield technology development.
