*; ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' 3 : First appearing in [[3062]], the ''IIC'' 3 was designed by Clan Steel Viper following their ejection from the [[Inner Sphere]] and is produced for them by Clan Diamond Shark. Based upon the original, the ''IIC'' 3 makes use of two [[Heavy Large Laser]]s, a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and two [[Small Pulse Laser]]s; all of which are linked to a [[Targeting Computer]]. Twenty-two double heat sinks keep all the heat generated by the weapons under control.<ref name=TRJp30f /> BV (1.0) = 2,259 BV (2.0) = 2,448<ref name=RS3085UPP-267>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 267 "Phoenix Hawk IIC 3"</ref>

*; ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' 4 : Manufactured by Clan Diamond Shark from [[3065]] on after they acquired the design specifications from the Vipers, the ''IIC'' 4 mounts four [[Clan Coyote]]-designed [[ATM 9]]s along with seven tons of ammunition, giving it flexible long and short-range firepower.

*; ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' 5 : Clan Diamond Shark began fielding a variant armed with the newest in [[Gauss rifle]] technology in [[3069]]. While some intelligence suggests that the [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adders]] were the original developers of this variant, Variant 5 has been seen commonly with the Diamond Sharks and sold to other Inner Sphere Clans such the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]]. In later years some have been reported with Inner Sphere units as well. It mounts two [[HAG 20]]s and four [[AP Gauss Rifle]]s. The resemblance to the original is uncanny, though the HAGs must make the best of four tons of ammunition between them.<ref name=BC>BattleCorps ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' 6 MilSpec Article</ref> <ref name=TRO3085-280/> BV (2.0) = 2,350<ref name=RS3085UPP-269>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 269 "Phoenix Hawk IIC 5"</ref>

*; ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' 7 : First built in 3078, this version has a lower top speed (64 km/h) from [[Type 81]] 320-rated XL engine, but uses Improved Jump Jets to keep mobility. It carries a pair of [[Type KOV]] [[LB 10-X AC]]s in the torso, supplemented by twin [[Mk 3]] [[ER medium laser]]s and [[Series-4]] [[Streak SRM-4]]s. Clan Diamond Shark sells this variant to any interested buyer, including Inner Sphere powers, proving increasingly popular among [[mercenary unit]]s.<ref name=TRO3085-280/> BV (2.0) = 2,219<ref name=TRO3085-280/> <ref name=RS3085UPP-271>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 271 "Phoenix Hawk IIC 8"</ref>
