*; Mk I : Introduced in [[2561]], the Mk I Alacorn was equipped with a trio of [[AC/10]]s with five tons of ammunition. Equipped with a standard fusion engine, it was protected by ten and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous armor]], but manufacturing flaws left the armor brittle. The [[Terran Hegemony Armed Forces]] were interested, but the armor issue was a deal-breaker.<ref name=xtrop3>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 3'', p. 11</ref>

*;Mk II : The Mk II Alacorn was another design prototype introduced alongside the Mk I. Though it used the same engine and chassis as the Mk I, the Mk II carried three [[AC/20]]s in its turret. It only carried three tons of ammunition however, and to make room for the heavier guns the armor protection was reduced to six tons. This resulted in a vehicle with a much shorter effective range, meaning it had to close with enemy forces, but the machine lacked the armor to survive a close-up fight. The Mk II never entered production.<ref name=xtrop3/>
