*; AXM-4D : An attempt to reduce reliance upon foreign equipment, this exclusively Davion variant replaced the 1N line on [[New Syrtis]] in [[3071]]. It drops the jump jets, lasers, and large-bore autocannon in favor of four [[light autocannon/5]]s, supplemented by two medium lasers. Two tons of ammunition stored in a [[CASE]]-protected bay allows for some flexibility in the choice of munitions. A [[targeting computer]] improves the accuracy of all the weapons on the 'Mech. The heat sinks are downgraded to [[Heat Sink|single]] models.<ref name=TRCIp144f /> It uses ferro-fibrous armor for protection.<ref name=TRCIp144f /> BV (2.0) = 1,222<ref name=MUL62/>

*; AXM-5N : A prototype in [[3146]] whose production was delayed due only to lack of parts, the AXM-5N was rapidly built for the desperate AFFS after the Davion recapture of New Syrtis from the Capellans. Using a number of components shared with the ''Hatchetman'' 7D and ''[[Caesar]]'' 5D, the AXM-5N carries a [[Tiburon Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Tiburon Khanate]]–supplied [[HAG 20]] in its right torso, supported by a left arm–mounted Sea Fox Clan [[ER PPC]] and a trio of IS-grade ER medium lasers in the right arm, and fitted with a Guardian ECM suite. Though carrying three tons of HAG reloads, the AXM-5N primarily relies on its energy weaponry to activate its [[triple strength myomer]] to enhance both its speed and the damage inflicted with its hatchet.<ref name=RGIV12p12>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12'', p. 13: "Axman"</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,575<ref name=RGIV12p33>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12'', p. 14: "Axman AXM-5N"</ref>
