===Description===
The Vulcan is lightly armored at only five tons, though this is typically sufficient when facing infantry forces and its narrow profile makes it a harder target to hit. A cruising speed of 64.8 km/h is enhanced with by six jump jets mounted in the rear of the Vulcan's torso, specially vented to reduce heat build-up in the rear, giving it a jumping range of 180 meters.

===Description===
One of the most common of the Vulcan's early variants, the 5T was introduced a year after the original model debuted. It removes the Autocannon/2 and replaces it with three Maxum medium lasers, using the mass saved to add two additional tons of armor. The majority of the Federated Suns' Vulcans were 5T models.

===Description===
The 5M Vulcan is an upgrade of the 2T version used by House Marik that makes the 'Mech far more effective in close range combat. The 'Mech uses a Crucis-II Delux Endo Steel chassis and removes the autocannon for a Tronel PPL-20 Large Pulse Laser and also upgrades the Medium Laser to a Tronel XII Medium Pulse Laser. Eleven double heat sinks were also incorporated. This version of the Vulcan began production in 3052 and ceased only with the destruction of Nimakachi's Tematagi plant in 3069.

===Description===
The 5S Vulcan is a 3050 upgrade of the 2T version used by House Steiner which replaces the standard fusion engine with an extralight engine and also upgrades the armor to Lexington Ltd. High Grade Ferro-Fibrous with CASE to protect itself from ammunition explosions. The inclusion of MASC enables the 5S to move up to 129 km/h in short bursts. Additionally, the Autocannon/2 has been replaced with an Imperator Ultra Autocannon/5.

The 5TL Vulcan is an upgrade of the 5M version meant for hit and run tactics. The 'Mech uses a Crucis-II Delux Endo Steel chassis and replaces the usual loadout with a COIL Beam, supercharger, increased armor and finally Improved JumpJets.  Also has DHS to compensate for the increased heat of the COIL and supercharger.

===Description===
Designed by Coventry Metal Works as an experimental variant, the Vulcan-6B radically changes the mech's mission profile. Gone are the lasers and support weapons and in their place are four SRM-4s. To get the tonnage for the missiles and their two tons of ammo, CMW had to use a Light Fusion Engine. This did allow for a little extra tonnage in armor. The -6B has the same speed profile as most Vulcans and upgrades the heat dissipation to double head sinks.

Description

The Vulcan is lightly armored at only five tons, though this is typically sufficient when facing infantry forces and its narrow profile makes it a harder target to hit. A cruising speed of 64.8 km/h is enhanced with by six jump jets mounted in the rear of the Vulcan's torso, specially vented to reduce heat build-up in the rear, giving it a jumping range of 180 meters.

Description

One of the most common of the Vulcan's early variants, the 5T was introduced a year after the original model debuted. It removes the Autocannon/2 and replaces it with three Maxum medium lasers, using the mass saved to add two additional tons of armor. The majority of the Federated Suns' Vulcans were 5T models.
