*; ALB-4U : The 4U variant of the ''Albatross'' is a basic upgrade of the design. The 'Mech replaces the medium lasers with a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s, the [[LB 10-X Autocannon]] with a [[Light Gauss Rifle]], the SRM-6 with a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher. The ER large laser is removed and replaced by an ER small laser, while the armor is increased by more than three tons and upgraded to ferro-fibrous.<ref name=TRCIp184f /> BV (1.0) = 1,572, BV (2.0) = 1,907<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 115</ref>

*; ALB-4Ur : The 4Ur is more a direct upgrade of the 3U than a refit of the 4U. The armor is maxed out with 16.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous. The [[Light Gauss Rifle]] of the 4U is replaced with a familiar [[LBX-10]] like the original 3U. A standard [[LRM-15]] and [[SRM-6]] fill out the right torso. A pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s replace the standard lasers and sit atop the traditional [[Large Pulse Laser]]. A [[Light PPC]] sits in the left torso mount. When the 5U debuted to lack luster reception the League fell back on the dependable performance of the 4Ur. BV (2.0) = 1,893<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 13'', p. 49</ref>

*; ALB-5U : This variant uses 15 tons of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] to maximize protection. A [[Heavy-Duty Gyro]] and Light Fusion Engine help increase survivability of this Albatross. The right arm houses a pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s and a [[Large X-Pulse Laser]]. The right torso missile launchers are consolidated into a [[MML-7]]. A [[Rotary AC/2]] is mounted in the left arm, but only has a single ton of ammo in a [[CASE]] protected magazine in the left torso with 2 tons of MML ammo. An [[ER Small Laser]] fills the left torso energy mount. While very tough, this Albatross is light on weaponry. BV (2.0) = 1,885<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 13'', p. 50</ref>

*; ALB-5W : This Word of Blake variant is very different from the other Albatross variants and turns the mech into a line breaker. A [[Large VSP]] sits in the right arm, while an [[ER PPC]] with a [[PPC Capacitor]] are in the left.  Each side torso has a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], [[ER Medium Laser]], and [[ER Small Laser]]. A [[Guardian ECM]] is mounted in the left torso as well. This heat intensive arsenal makes it easy to activate the [[Triple-Strength Myomer]]s that bring the top speed up to 86kph.

*; ALB-6U : The 6U is the preeminent Albatross variant of the Free World’s League. The 6U uses 16.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous to provide maximum protection for the chassis, which is critical as this variant uses a fragile Composite Structure and [[XL Gyro]] to save weight. A standard [[Gauss Rifle]] sits in the left arm, while a [[Light PPC]] sits atop the left torso. A standard [[LRM-15]] and [[SRM-6]] once again fill out the right torso. A pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s and a [[Large VSP]] are mounted in the right arm. 13 Double heatsinks keep the design fairly cool, but overheating is a distinct possibility. [[CASE II]] protects the ammo magazines in the left torso BV (2.0) = 2,159<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 13'', p. 47</ref>

*; Albatross C “Sooty Albatross” : A Clan Wolf variant built after they captured the Albatross factory, the Sooty Albatross is not well regarded by Clan Wolf pilots. Built on the same Composite Structure as the 6U, it also uses the [[XL Gyro]] and engine, but now uses 15 double heatsinks. Four jump jets are mounted in the legs. The weaponry is all Clantech, including an [[ER Large Pulse Laser]] and twin [[ER Medium Lasers]] in the right arm, [[Gauss Rifle]] in the left arm, [[Plasma Cannon]] in the left torso, and finally and [[ATM-9]] in the right torso. All ammunition is stored in a [[CASE II]] protected magazine in the left torso. BV (2.0) = 2,885<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 13'', p. 48</ref>
