*; MAD-3M : The 3M was introduced in [[2873]] specifically for the [[Free Worlds League]]. Because of the abundance of large lasers built by that realm and to make up for their shortage in reliable PPCs, the 3M model carried two large lasers in place of the PPCs.  While running cooler than the weapons they replaced, the large lasers also caused slightly less damage. Additionally, the 3M added four heat sinks to the design, making the 'Mech much more manageable for pilots who have trouble with overheating their 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3025/><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 204</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,105,<ref name=COFWL>''Combat Operations'', p. 130</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,335<ref name=MUL125/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 492</ref>

*; MAD-3R (C) : A [[Clan]]-tech retrofit of the classic MAD-3R ''Marauder'', designed for use by second-line garrison and ''[[solahma]]'' forces, the ''Marauder C'' replaced some of the Inner Spheroid weaponry with Clan equivalents. The ''Marauder C'' swapped the PPCs for a pair of Clan-tech [[Large Pulse Laser]]s and the standard autocannon for an [[Ultra AC/5]] model, but retained the IS medium lasers.  The munitions for the autocannon were also protected with [[CASE]].<ref name=BFT>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 48</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,616<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 191</ref>
  
 
*; MAD-4X : This experimental variant was made at [[Ronin Incorporated]]'s facility on [[Wallis]] in [[3039]]. Techs removed the standard weaponry from a ''Marauder'' and replaced the arm mounted weapons with a [[Binary Laser Cannon]] in each arm, while the torso mounted autocannon was replaced by twin [[SRM-6]] launchers backed by one ton of ammunition for each launcher. The ''Marauder''-4X was also noteworthy because it used a [[Prototype Endo Steel]] chassis. To keep the heat under control, technicians installed twelve single heat sinks and six prototype Double Heat Sinks.<ref name=XTRO:SWp7>''Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars, Volume 1'', p. 7</ref>

::* Prime - A modern take on the MAD-3R layout, the ''OmniMarauder'' Prime carries a Clan ER PPC and ER Medium in each arm in support of a [[HAG 30]] in the right torso. With the mammoth HAG protected by [[CASE II]], three tons of HAG munitions and four extra double heat sinks keep the Prime in the thick of the fighting. BV (2.0) = 2,836<ref name=ETRCEp16/>

::* Alternate Configuration A - The ''OmniMarauder'' A is built around Inner Sphere weapons as yet unsurpassed by the Clans, carrying a plasma rifle and a ton of reloads in each arm supported by as mammoth [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] split between the right and center torsos, fed from two tons of HGR rounds. Clan-grade CASE II in the right and center torsos to shield the pilot against the massive cannon exploding and a Clan [[Light TAG]] round out the design. BV (2.0) = 2,127<ref name=ETRCEp16/>

* [[Dual Cockpit]] refits: The ''Marauder'' was one of the [[Free Worlds League]]'s preferred 'Mechs to install Dual Cockpits. Standard refits usually install the Dual Cockpit on an MAD-3M or MAD-5D, removing one heat sink.
