*; CGR-1A5 : The 1A5 variant of the ''Charger'' was one of the first variants of the ''Charger'' made to take it from the role of scout to assault 'Mech.  A [[Capellan]] modification to the CGR-1Ls they received as part of the [[Kapteyn Accords]], the engine was downgraded to a 320 version, which reduced the maximum speed of the 'Mech to 64.8 km/h, and four of the small lasers were removed. In their place was a [[Tomodzuru]] [[Autocannon/20]] as its primary weapon, two [[Bical-6]] [[SRM-6]] launchers and an [[Argra 3L]] [[medium laser]], while the 'Mech's armor was increased by five tons. This made the CGR-1A5 extremely dangerous at close ranges and gave it a speed comparable to most 'Mechs in the heavy weight class, while carrying armor on par with other eighty-ton 'Mechs.<ref name=B4SW-40>''BattlePack: Fourth Succession War'', p. 40: "New 'Mechs - CGR-1A5 Charger"</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,128; BV (2.0) = 1,458<ref name=MUL78>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 78</ref>

*; CGR-1A9 : A Combine-LAW attempt to make the ''Charger'' more effective at long ranges, the 1A9 used a reduced 320-rated engine, lowering its top speed to 64.8 km/h, and its arsenal was overhauled. All of the smaller lasers (except for the head mounted one) were replaced with medium lasers and a single [[LRM-20]] launcher was mounted in the right torso, with two tons of reloads carried in the left torso.  To make up for the lost mobility, four [[jump jet]]s were also installed, two in each leg, to allow the ''Charger'' to jump up to one hundred and twenty meters.  This variant was fielded in time to surprise the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] during the [[War of 3039]], but in years since the design fell into the hands of the [[Outworlds Alliance]] thanks to a legal snafu which gave [[Raveena Electronics]] a production license.  BV (1.0) = 1,315; BV (2.0) = 1,397<ref name=MUL78/>
