*; VTR-10L : The 10L is armed with a Gauss Rifle as its primary long ranged weapon. This is backed up by three ER medium lasers and a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher for close combat. The 'Mech carries an [[ECM Suite]] as part of its [[Stealth Armor]] system, which allows it to reduce its radar signature and makes the 'Mech harder to target, especially at long range, and also four jump jets that allow the 'Mech to seize the high ground, making this variant of the ''Victor'' an excellent sniper.<ref name=TROU90 /> BV (1.0) = 1,943, BV (2.0) = 2,320<ref name=MUL162/>

*; VTR-10S : The 10S is armed with a mammoth [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]], split between the right and center torsos, supported by a standard Gauss Rifle in the right arm, SRM-4 in the left torso and twin ER medium lasers in the left arm. Carrying the usual ''Victor'' weapons loadout in addition to the Heavy Gauss Rifle is made possible through the use of an Endo-Steel frame and fragile 320-rated [[Extralight engine]]. Lacking the jump jets for which most ''Victor''s are renowned, the -10S mounts an [[anti-missile system]] and is clad in thirteen tons of standard plating. The 10S carries three tons of Heavy Gauss reloads, two of standard Gauss rounds and a single ton of SRM and AMS ammo each.<ref name=RS3050UIS>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade Unabridged - Inner Sphere'', p. 227: "VTR-10S ''Victor''"</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,034<ref name=MUL162/>

*; VTR-11D : Production began on the 11D on [[New Valencia]] during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. Powered by a [[Light Engine]], the 11D adds an additional ton and a half of armor over that on the 10D. Two [[ER Large Laser]]s provide long-range firepower and the Streak SRM-4 is retained. The autocannon is replaced with a [[rotary autocannon/5]] and three tons of ammunition in a [[CASE]]-protected bin. A C3 Slave allows integration with a C3 unit. Fifteen [[double heat sink]]s are able to effectively manage the heat levels.<ref name=TROU90>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 90</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,021<ref name=MUL162/>

*; VTR-9B ''Victor'' Li : The custom ''Victor'' used by ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Li Dok To]] in the [[Fourth Succession War]], this variant removed all the standard weapons and replaced them with a single [[LRM-15]] mounted in the left torso and ten medium lasers carried in the 'Mech's right arm.

The medium lasers have been removed and replaced with three [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s.

*; VTR-9K2 ''Victor'' St. James : After his son was killed in the [[Taurian Concordat]] invasion of the [[Federated Suns]], [[Benedict St. James]] had his VTR-9K refitted with [[Rules_Level#Experimental_Rules|experimental]] weapons and equipment to allow him to take his revenge. Replacing the standard weapons with a [[Long Tom Cannon]] and two [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]]s, St. James' ''Victor'' can inflict massive amounts of damage on his prey. The 'Mech's jump jets had to be removed to make way for the weapons load, and technicians equipped it with a [[Patchwork Armor|patchwork]] of [[ferro-fibrous]] and standard armor as another weight saving measure. A [[Supercharger]] mounted on the engine provides the ''Victor'' with unexpected bursts of speed. BV (2.0) = 2,006<ref name="XTR:Pirates">''Experimental Technical Readout: Pirates'', p. 7</ref>
