* A second, later configuration of the [[Yen-Lo-Wang]] is known to exist.{{cn}} Commonly referred to as the '''CN9-YLW2''', it is still based upon a CN9-A chassis but uses more modern equipment. Keeping the speed the same, the engine was changed to an extra-light version. The [[AC/10]] has been upgraded to a [[Gauss rifle]] with two tons of ammunition. Three [[medium pulse laser]]s, two in the left arm and another rear-mounted in the center torso, replace the old standard ones. A left arm [[hatchet]] is paired with [[Triple-Strength Myomer]].  BV (2.0) = 1,415<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 124</ref> (Again, it stands to reason the designation refers to only this one individual 'Mech.)
