*; ZEU-10WB : This variant was produced by the [[Word of Blake]] following their seizure of Hesperus II during the Jihad.  Rolling off assembly lines six months after the planet's capture, it was armed with a pair of [[Heavy PPC]]s, supplemented by an ER large laser, four ER medium lasers and fourteen tons of ferro-fibrous armor.  These new additions were made possible by the inclusion of an [[XL Gyro]] and [[Light Fusion Engine]], while seventeen double heat sinks were included for heat management.<ref name=TRO3050U/> BV (2.0) = 2,075<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade, Inner Sphere'', p. 136</ref>

*; ZEU-11S : Combining the best features of the ZEU-9T and ''Zeus X'' program, ZEU-11S blurs the Inner Sphere/[[Clan]]-tech divide thanks to Defiance's introduction of Clan-grade production lines. Built upon the 9T's frame, the 11S uses a Clan [[XL engine]] instead of a light model to free up more weight at no increase in bulk. Offensively a left-arm mounted Inner Sphere Gauss Rifle is supported by an Artemis IV enhanced Clan LRM-15 in the right arm and a Clan ER Large in the left torso, alongside two Clan ER mediums, one forward facing in the center torso with a rear-facing one in the right torso. Carrying three tons each of Gauss and LRM reloads, even with the inclusion of a [[Beagle Active Probe]], the 11S mounts [[CASE II]] in the left arm and right torso to shield against gauss or ammo detonations, along with an increased volume of IS standard ferro-fibrous armor protection.<ref name=RGIV2p13>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 3'', p. 13: "Zeus"</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,280<ref name=RGIV2p30>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 2'', p. 30: "Zeus ZEU-11S"</ref>

*[[Dual Cockpit]] refits: The [[Lyran Commonwealth]] (and later the [[Lyran Alliance]]) fitted some ''Zeus'' 'Mechs with [[Dual Cockpit]]s. The dual-cockpit versions were usually either a ZEUS-6S (with one medium laser removed to make room) or a ZEU-9S (with one less heat sink).
