 Compact engines emerged in 3068. Once again developed by Lyran engineers, this engine type was apparently an alternative approach to the “smaller, harder-to-kill engine” problem initially authorized by General Nondi Steiner during the FedCom Civil War. The compact engine has 1/2 the physical size of the standard fusion plant, but weighs 50% more through the use of denser shielding and a smaller, high-density fusion bottle. One benefit of this arrangement is that penetrating hits are less likely to hit the smaller profile of the compact fusion engine than they would a bulkier standard fusion engine. A relatively new concept, few base variant 'Mechs utilize this engine. Among BattleMechs that use the compact fusion engine are the Word of Blake's '''''[[Archangel]]''''' and the Draconis Combine's '''''Wight'''''. In the face of the Blakist Jihad, General of the Armies Adam Steiner shared this technology with ComStar and—through them—other nominal Lyran allies, including the FedSuns and the Combine. Since then, sadly, Word of Blake Robes have managed to capture and reverse-engineer the technology as well.

 Fusion Engines are the most common type of BattleMech and aerospace power plant in the BattleTech Universe. Fusion engines can supply great quantities of power, enough to power massive vehicles and all of their weapon systems, including directed energy weapons common on the modern battlefield. Yet when no thrust is generated, fusion engines are so efficient, they practically never need refueling. If properly ventilated, controlled fusion reactions generate little heat. There are several sub-types of fusion engines available as well, each trading bulk for mass of the components.
 In classic Battletech there are multiple types of power plants. ''In MW:LL we use following:''

-Designed to mimic the compact profile and light weight of Clan-tech XL engines, the light fusion engine weighs only 75% of a standard fusion engine. While not as dramatic as the 50% weight saving of an XL Engine, the real benefit of the light fusion engine is that while it intrudes into the side torsos of a BattleMech, it takes up the same amount of space as a Clan extra-light engine, allowing a light fusion engine-equipped 'Mech to receive less damage transfer from destroyed side [[torso]]s, only a '''1.4x''' damage multiplier.

'Mechs with light fusion engines also take less damage from their back torso, only '''2x''' damage instead of 3x damage.
