Hero mechs just give alternative configurations and unique paintjobs along with the money grinding bonus. None of the Hero mechs in MWO offer any kind of advantage over any of their normal variants. No one is going to suddenly turn into a terror on the battlefield because they bought a Flame or Fang instead of a regular Dragon, a Misery instead of a regular Stalker, a Firebrand instead of a regular Jagermech, etc.
The Pretty Baby is pretty objectively terrible, in fact. Death's Knell loses the ECM and Streaks of the only good Commando variant for a whopping 4 medium lasers, the Flame and Fang are just Dragons with all the wonderful flaws that come with them but slightly better arrangement (not quantity!) of weapons slots, the Misery gains a whopping one ballistic slot in a side torso at the loss of 1 energy and 3 missile slots compared to most Stalkers, the Yen-lo-Wang is pretty objectively terrible since it loses most of its extra weapons power for an easily blown off AC20 capable right arm, and the X-5 is, in the end, just another Cicada with a unique but in no way overpowered layout of weapons slots compared to the normal variants. Heavy Metal IS overpowered however. I mean it gets musical cues when you kill things! But beyond that its layout, while interesting, is easily mimiced by any other Highlander.
