There have been a few sculpts of the Spider:
- Original casting from the late 1980s
- 2nd sculpt from the early 2000s. It looks similar to the first but is slightly larger and has sharper detail.
- Beginner Set 3 casting from 2004, which is a one-piece casting attached to a partial hex base. It's similar to the 2nd scultp, but with a slightly different wing.
- Alpha Strike (AS) plastic sculpt, base #2 from the Battletech Introductory Boxed Set and the Recon Lance Pack (2013). This version is nearly identical to the Beginner Set sculpt but in plastic.
- Dark Age casting, with an all-new appearance.
- "Classic" Kickstarter (KS) plastic sculpt, Inner Sphere Support Lance (2021)
