Meanwhile in the [[Inner Sphere]], similar refits to these vehicles occurred, listed below. Other ad hoc refits/variants not listed have been said to use [[Mech Mortar|Mortars]] and [[PPC|PPCs]] among other weapon systems. These variants usually had a main armament that was rear-facing through the back of the dump box, with anti-infantry weapons in the cab. A basic fire control system was equipped to guide whatever weapons were mounted to the truck.<ref name="TRO:VArp230">''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex, Revised'', p. 230: "Armed and Dangerous/Support Vehicles" - Brunel Dump Truck</ref>

*; Brunel Dump Truck (AC): Used in [[2801]], this was one of two known combat conversions used by the Pentagon Powers. Principally an ambush vehicle, this conversion was fitted with three [[AC/20|Class-20 Autocannons]] mounted rearward in its dump box. Each of its guns had single ton of ammunition allotted to them. Only as minor defense against infantry attacks, a pair of [[Machine Guns]] were mounted forward.  The weapon systems were controlled by a [[Basic Fire Control]] system, giving them some accuracy.  The chassis's commercial armor was replaced with nine tons of [[standard armor]], with the majority of armor protection focused to the rear of the vehicle to protect the main weapons.

*; Brunel Dump Truck (LRM): The second refit/variant introduced and used by the Pentagon Powers starting in 2801. This was a long-range fire support vehicle. The conversion was fitted with four [[LRM-20|20-tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers]] mounted rearward in its dump box. The launchers had five tons of ammunition fed from its ammo bin. Like the AC refit/variant, this conversion shared some modifications which included a [[Basic Fire Control]] system and the nine tons of standard armor with the majority of armor protection focus to the rear of the vehicle.  BV (2.0) = <ref>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 158: "Vehicle Refits/Dump Truck" – "Brunel named as basis of the LRM twenty variant of the dump truck used during the Pentagon Wars.
