*; JM7-D : The first of the heavier JM7 ''JagerMech'' variants introduced in [[3057]], the D variant adds five tons of overall weight to the JM6-DD, four and one-half of which go directly to increased ferro-fibrous armor. The Autocannon/2s are replaced with [[ER Large Laser]]s.

*;JM7-DD: Answering the call for new equipment, Kallon Industries chose to revise the Jagermech II. This 70 ton version of the Jager’ did a lot to overcome the shortfalls of the original 65 ton chassis. This new variant, though returning to the original weapon layout of four autocannons and two lasers, is perhaps the deadliest Jagermech ever produced. Each arm now carries both a [[Light AC/5]] and a powerful clan grade [[Ultra AC/10]]. Each side torso utilizes [[CASE II]] magazines to carry two tons of Ultra and one ton of light AC ammo. Two IS [[ER Medium Lasers]] are the mech's only backup weapons should it run out of its limited AC ammo. A thick coating, especially for a Jagermech, of Ferro-Fibrous armor protects the [[Endo-Composite]] structure and XL engine.  BV (2.0) = 1,690<ref>”Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 32”, pg15</ref>
 
  
 
*; JM7-F : Another 70 ton variant, the F variant was introduced in [[3062]].  It replaces the JM7-D's Ultra Autocannon and ER Large Lasers with a pair of [[rotary autocannon/5]]s with four tons of ammunition. Aiming assistance is provided by a [[Targeting Computer]], and defense is improved by the addition of a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. One double heat sink is removed. BV (1.0) = 1,562; BV (2.0) = 1,774<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067'', p. 177</ref>

*; JM6-B : This variant from ''MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries'' predates the rediscovery of the Helm (or, alternately, Gravenhague) Memory Core. It exchanges the traditional autocannon-centric gun fit of the JM6-S for large lasers in each arm and secondary medium lasers in both side torsos, in order to free the JM6-B from close dependency on ammunition resupply for its main weapons. These changes ultimately reduce max range and increase heat dissipation issues, with only 13 single heat sinks. Despite needing competent heat management, this variant proved to be well-suited for extended use in austere conditions such as frontier worlds, out in the Periphery, and by smaller mercenary units that could not always count on fresh expendables. A pair of LRM-15 launchers—the only ammunition-dependent weapons—are split between the side torsos; with 8 volleys each, these provide a partial compensation for the extreme range capability lost with the removal of the JM6-S's AC/2s, and introduce a respectable indirect-fire capability. Confirmed sightings in 3044 place initial production at least prior to that year.
