Description
The Banshee 3E was originally designed for close combat, with better speed than most other assault 'Mechs. While it has heavy armor and powerful Melee attack capability, its firepower is severely lacking and it can still be flanked by lighter units.

Description
The Banshee 3M mounts respectable weaponry with better-than-average speed and armor. This comes at the cost of very poor heat management. It's good at hunting lighter units, especially if it can close to Melee range.

Description
An upgrade of the 3S variant using Star League technology, the 5S replaces the engine with an XL Engine and uses double heat sinks to save weight, restoring its top speed to 64.8 km/h. The 'Mech is armed for long range combat with a Gauss Rifle and two ER PPCs. For close ranges, the 'Mech has a SRM-6, four Medium Lasers, and two Small Lasers.

Description
The 6S variant of the Banshee is powered by a Light Fusion Engine and built on an Endo Steel chassis. It is armed with an LB-X Autocannon/10 for long-range combat while a Heavy Gauss Rifle is used at medium to close ranges. The 'Mech retains the Small Laser of the 3E model but is protected with fourteen and a half tons of armor.

Description
Designed by the Taurian Concordat after they got a hold of a shipment of Banshee-6S mechs destined for the Steiner front lines, the -6T is a decidedly Periphery take on the Banshee. The -6T keeps the 380 rated light engine but strips out all the weapons in favor of three Heavy Rifles, three Rocket Launcher 15s, and six Medium Lasers. A single Small Laser sits in the head for good measure. The mech's heat dissipation systems, though double heat sinks, cannot cope with its prodigious heat but that was not seen as an insurmountable problem since the mech was expected to engage in heavy melee combat while cooling down.
