Total armor protection is only slightly increased, though the use of Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor allows weight savings of over 2 tons. While visually very similar to the original, almost the entirety of the weapons loadout is replaced, with only the [[SRM-2]]s remaining. The ACs have been replaced with a pair of [[Gauss Rifle]]s. The turret mounted [[SRM-6]]s have both been upgraded to Streak launchers with the same tube count. The two forward hull mounted machine guns have been replaced with a pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s. The sides of the tank each still carry the [[SRM-2]] and a [[Magshot]] replaces the original [[Machine Gun]]s. Both of these weapons are now carried in a sponson allowing excellent firing arcs and allows for at least one Magshot to fire at infantry coming from any direction. Finally the quartet of [[LRM-5]]s have been replaced with a pair of [[Rocket launcher 10]]s. [[CASE]] protects the crew.

It carries a pair of [[Ultra AC/10]]s, a pair of [[MRM-10]] launchers, and a pair of [[Artemis IV FCS]] enhanced SRM-6 launchers in the turret. To provide some additional long range firepower, it mounts a pair of [[LRM-5]] launchers with Artemis guidance systems on the front of its hull.

A pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s are mounted on the front of the hull. These and the Autocannons benefit from the inclusion of a [[Targeting Computer]]. All of the missile weaponry is dropped and replaced with three Clan-tech [[Streak SRM-6]]s. Perhaps most notably, the tank is reskinned in [[Ballistic-Reinforced Armor]] and [[CASE]]. BV (2.0) = 1,789<ref name=iCv31p8/> − − *;Liao : This variant of the Behemoth came about due to lack of parts to produce the newer Behemoth II Heavy Tank. Aldis Industries took traditional Behemoth hulls and mated the to Behemoth II turret assemblies and revised the weapons compliment. The Behemoth II’s single [[Gauss Rifle]] remains in place as do the quartet of [[Rocket Launcher 10]]s in the turret. The Thunderbolt launchers have been replaced with a pair of [[MML-5]]s in the turret. Four additional [[MML-5]]s replace the original Behemoth’s [[LRM-5]]s in the front hull and sit below the remaining pair of [[Machine Gun]]s. Both sides of the tank also feature a single [[MML-5]] in a sponson. In total, this Behemoth has 40 Multi-Missile tubes it can fire forward and can even fire 15 to each side arc. This variant still uses the original variant’s internal combustion engine and armor, though [[CASE]] now protects the crew.
