*;''Ursus'' 2 : This variant was introduced during the [[Jihad]] in [[3074]],<ref name=MUL>''Master Unit List'', "Ursus introduction dates"</ref> which reconfigured the design for the anti-vehicle/anti-infantry role.  The 'Mech's primary weapon is its left torso-mounted [[HAG 20|Class 20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle]], which has been given just a single ton of ammunition. In its right arm is a single [[Plasma Cannon]] and a pair of [[AP Gauss Rifle|AP Gauss Rifles]].  There are 2 tons of ammunition for the Cannon, while the AP Gs have been given a ton. The 'Mech has retained its [[ER Medium Laser|ER Medium Lasers]] in the right torso. Its mobility was improved due to it receiving an [[XL fusion engine|XL Engine]] and six [[Jump Jets]]. Armor protection for the 'Mech has also been slightly increased. BV (2.0) = 2,054<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 239: Ursus's Jihad era variant from RS3060u</ref>

*;''Ursus'' 3 : Produced by [[Bergan Industries]] on [[Alshain]]. This version of the ''Ursus'' was based on the ''Ursus-PR'' and entered production in [[3079]]<ref name=MUL/> after the [[Motstånd]] terrorist organization detonated a bomb at a unification rally. The outraged Rasalhagian population demanded action, and the ''Ursus'' 3 was the implement of that action. The only real difference between the ''Ursus'' 3 and the ''Ursus-PR'' is the removal of the Improved C3 Computer and its replacement with a [[Watchdog CEWS]] and an extra ton of ProtoMech Autocannon ammunition. The 'Mech was put into production for members of the [[Mimir]] and [[Watch]] who were striking armored hideouts used by Motstånd for protection. BV (2.0) = 1,284<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 147</ref>

*;''Ursus-PR'' : The ''Ursus-PR'', introduced in [[3074]],<ref name=MUL/> was created by engineers from [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]. The standard weapons were removed and replaced by a pair of [[ProtoMech AC/8]]s, an [[ER Flamer]], an [[Improved Heavy Medium Laser]], and a trio of [[AP Gauss Rifle]]s. The ammunition and gauss weapons are protected by [[CASE II]], while the rest of the armor remains the same. The most interesting part of this refit isn't the weapons, but the [[Improved C3 Computer]] installed in the center torso. This allows a Star of ''Ursus-PR''s to exchange targeting data. With its emphasis on anti-infantry weapons and short range combat, the 'Mech is apparently intended for anti-insurgency work.
