*; UM-R50 : This was a variant without arms. <ref>The armless variant was originally mentioned, without mentioning its specific alphanumerical code, in ''Technical Readout: 3025'' and ''Technical Readout: 3039''. In the German edition of the former book the regular UM-R60 ''UrbanMech'' was translated as ST-K60 ''Stadtkoloß'' and the armless variant was designated ST-K50. The [[Master Unit List]] does indeed list a UM-R50 variant and references ''Technical Readout: 3039'' as a source; the only unnamed variant mentioned there is the armless variant</ref> The idea was to give the 'Mech a smaller silhouette in combat. However, the drawbacks of having no arms turned out to be greater than any benefits and this particular variant is generally regarded as a failure.

*; UM-R60L : Generally associated with the [[Capellan Confederation]], who have modified a few of their ''UrbanMech''s in this fashion, the -R60L is an upgrade to make the ''UrbanMech'' twice as deadly as the -R60 version. The -R60L sacrifices two tons of armor, allowing it to replace the [[Imperator-B]] [[AC/10]] with an [[Imperator-Zeta]] [[AC/20]] that is capable of downing most light 'Mechs and severely damaging most medium 'Mechs in a single salvo. Besides the thinner armor this modification comes with a very limited ammunition supply, which made it unpopular.<ref name=TRSWp30f /><ref name=TRO3039-109/><ref name=TRO3025r/> BV (1.0) = 443; BV (2.0) = 470<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 80</ref>
