*; GAL-2GLS : The 2GLS variant of the ''Gallowglas'' is modified to increase its long-range effectiveness. This is done by removing the [[ER PPC]], a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], the [[Small Laser]], as well as eight [[double heat sink]]s and replacing them with a Blackwell Fury [[Gauss rifle]] and two tons of [[CASE]]-protected ammunition. This modification greatly reduces the 'Mechs heat load and gives it a greater damage potential at long range.

*; GAL-3GLS : The 3GLS expands on the 2GLS Model. The 'Mech is built using a [[light fusion engine]] and uses the saved weight to substantially improve the 'Mech's armor protection and accuracy. The T&T system is switched to a [[Dalban Hi-Rez III]] and all of the 'Mech's weapons have been linked to a [[Targeting Computer]], giving them greater accuracy. The 'Mech has also had an additional ton of armor added. The laser arsenal has been upgraded to two [[ER Large Laser]]s and an [[ER Medium Laser]]. Finally, the 'Mech has had [[Triple Strength Myomer]]s added, which allows the 'Mech to move at a top speed of 86.4 km/h when it is operating in the proper heat range.<ref name=TRCIp154f /> BV (1.0) = 1,642; BV (2.0) = 2,291<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 85</ref>

*; ''Gallowglas'' WD : A variant of the ''Gallowglas'' available only to [[Wolf's Dragoons]], the ''Gallowglas WD'' is built using all Clan technologies. The 'Mech carries an [[ER PPC]] as its primary weapon, and two [[ER Medium Laser]]s and two [[Small Pulse Laser]]s for close range combat; three double heat sinks are removed. The WD variant uses the weight savings to increase its engine size, allowing for a maximum speed of 86.4 km/h, making the WD a highly maneuverable and effective 'Mech.<ref name=TRCIp154f /> BV (1.0) = 2,024; BV (2.0) = 2,094<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 88</ref>
