*;TBT-7K : The 7K ''Trebuchet'' is a radical departure from the 5N model, a prototype used by the [[Draconis Combine]] to test whether direct-fire support was a viable alternative to indirect-fire support. Its entire weapons loadout was replaced with a [[PPC]] and an [[Autocannon/5]] as its primary weapons with an [[SRM-2]] for close fire support.  Whether the design proved successful or not was lost in the chaos of the 3030s as the proliferation of new advanced technology caused radical shakeups in the Combine's design bureaus.<ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 792;<ref name=CO125>''Combat Operations'', p. 125</ref> (1,097)<ref>''Record Sheets: Upgrades'', p. 89</ref> BV (2.0) = 996<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 133: 'Mech model noted as 7K, not 5K</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 215: 'Mech noted as being 7K with BV 2 listed</ref>

*;TBT-8B : Kali Yama Weapons Industries began production on this variant in [[3071]] in an attempt to combine the best features of previous models, using the XL engine from the extinct 3C and [[jump jets]] from the 5J.  The LRMs are replaced with four [[MML 5]]s, two mounted in the left arm and right torso, supplemented by four [[ER medium laser]]s on the right arm. Thirteen double heat sinks keep the 'Mech relatively cool, though some heat management is required. It uses an [[Endo Steel]] chassis.<ref name=TRO3050u/> BV (2.0) = 1,314<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade, Inner Sphere'', p. 137</ref>
