*; T-IT-N11M : The N11M model of the ''Grand Titan'' is a major modification of the design. The 'Mech carries as its primary long-range weapons a [[Light Gauss Rifle]] and an [[ER PPC]] which gives the 'Mech powerful long-range reach. The 'Mech has for short-range combat four [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and two [[Streak SRM-4]] launchers. It is also protected by a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. This upgrade brings the ''Grand Titan'' to modern standards and makes it as powerful on the battlefield now as it was when it was first released.<ref name=TRJp186f /> BV (1.0) = 1,688,<ref>''Combat Operations'', p. 130</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Upgrades'', p. 158</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,053<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 127</ref>

*; T-IT-N13M : This ''Grand Titan'' is based on a field refit. It carries a [[Heavy PPC]], two [[ER Medium Laser]]s, a single [[ER Large Laser]], two [[Medium Laser]]s, and a [[Small Pulse Laser]] for anti-infantry work. For close combat it carries a [[Sword (weapon)|Sword]]. It also has a 90 meter jump radius. A [[Heavy-Duty Gyro]] has been [[Armored Components|Armored]], as has the cockpit and all the arm and leg actuators. At the same time, this ''Grand Titan'' is equipped with [[Triple Strength Myomer]] which allows it to inflict twice as much damage in a physical brawl, as well as reach speeds of 64 km/h.

*; T-IT-N14R ''Grand Titan'' Vengeance : Developed by the [[Principality of Regulus]] during the [[Jihad]], the ''Grand Titan Vengeance'' trades the weaponry and armor of the standard version for [[Hardened Armor]], an [[Armored Components|Armored]] [[Compact Gyro]], [[Armored Engine]], and [[Armored Cockpit]]. The 'Mech also has a [[Full-Head Ejection System]]. All this protection, and a 60-meter jump radius, seems strange, but the ''Vengeance'' has a single [[Thumper Artillery Piece]] with two tons of ammo in a [[CASE II]] protected bin. This, along with two Clan built [[ER Medium Laser]]s, are the only weapons on the unit. This would seem a ridiculously light amount of weaponry, but intelligence reports suggest that the ''Vengeance'' uses the Thumper to launch nuclear warheads.<ref name=XTRO:Pp6>''Experimental Technical Readout: Phantoms'', p. 6</ref>
