*; Hiryo (MRM) : A much more radical weaponry change, the vehicle Snub-Nose PPC is replaced by a [[MRM 20|Twenty-Tube Medium Range Missile Launcher]]. Mounted on the nose, the vehicle has been given three tons of ammunition at the cost of four tons of its battle armor/infantry bay. Leaving it with only a four ton capacity. The vehicle is noted as being more effective against soft targets, but the dubbed "Gunship" has proved less popular with DCMS forces.

*;Hiryo "Hound" :[[Experimental Technology|Experimental]] prototype of the Hiryo which was produced by Pesht Motors on [[Unity]] in the late 3070s under supervision of [[Montague Waltrip]]. This version recasts the infantry transport as a scout as well as a transport. The variant's name comes from the experimental [[Bloodhound Active Probe]] found in the nose. The Hiryo's engine is exchanged for an [[extralight fusion engine]], and its Snub-Nose PPC is exchanged for an experimental [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]].  The vehicle's cargo capacity is reduced to only 4 tons, to make room for a [[C3 Remote Sensor Launcher]] with four C3 Sensors in its "ammo" bay.  Also to help Hiryo deal with the hazardous environments the [[Jihad]] has created for soldiers, it has been fitted with [[Environmental Sealing]]. BV (2.0) = 628<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Kurita'', pp. 9, 21 Hiryo "Hound" Infantry Transport - Fluff and stats for experimental variant of Hiryo.</ref>

*;Hiryo (Bloodhound) : This version of the Hiryo is based on the experimental "Hound" variant. A standard [[GM 205]] fusion engine powers it, and New Samarkand [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor protects it. The [[Diverse Optics Type 25PX]] Medium X-Pulse Laser and Environmental Sealing of the Hound remain, but the C3 Remote Sensor Launcher has been removed to make room for the heavier engine.
