Description
The 1DS variant of the Griffin was intended to become the new standard model for the Federated Commonwealth. The engine was upgraded to an extralight engine, fourteen double heat sinks improved cooling and the weapons were upgraded. The 'Mech now carried a LRM-20 launcher over the right shoulder and a Large Pulse Laser in the right arm. It also employed CASE to protect the two tons of missile reloads stored in the left torso.

Griffin 1Ns use their Jump Jets to stay at range and pelt their opponents from relative safety. 1Ns can run hot if they spend all their time bounding around the battlefield taking potshots, though.

Griffin 1Ss mount closer-range weaponry than their 1N cousins, allowing them to jump in for closer attacks and then move away to disengage or flank. They're generally better at dealing with heat buildup, too.

Description
The 3M Griffin was an upgraded version of the design built for House Marik that sought to enhance the original's long-range capabilities. The engine was exchanged for a extralight model and carried fourteen double heat sinks. The normal PPC was replaced by a ER PPC and the LRM launcher had been upgraded to a LRM-20 launcher for more indirect fire support capabilities. Finally a Small Laser was mounted in the left torso and the two tons of LRM reloads in the left torso were protected by CASE.

Description
Originally developed by ComStar to replenish ComGuard losses after Operation Odysseus, the Griffin -6CS is similar to the Lyran Commonwealth's -6S model. Word of Blake ROM has also ensured it is in their arsenal as well. It uses an XL engine and Endo Steel skeleton to provide the tonnage for an ER PPC, an Artemis IV augmented LRM-15, and 2 ER Medium Lasers. A C3i Computer and an ECM suite round out a robust medium for both the Word of Blake and ComStar.

Description
Created by a pilot who lost the LRM rack off his Griffin, the -6CV replaces the long-range payload with a mid-range weapon system: a MRM 30. Backing up the MRM rack is an ER PPC with a PPC Capacitor for extra punch. To keep the heat under control, the -6CV mounts double heat sinks and is powered by a Light Fusion Engine for speed. It also has gained a little armor for extra survivability
