Corp Mantis: Up-armored model used by the Liang-Dortmund Corporation. ![]() Similar to the HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops, there are numerous variants of the Mantis that have proven useful for a whole host of varied functions. The Mantis does not currently feature modular hardpoints that allow armament swapping, though both the UNSC Marine Corps and the Army have contracted Materials Group to produce a refit package to allow alternate loadouts. One variant has a larger-caliber cannon and surface-to-air missiles the other version has an M655 20mm heavy machine gun and M5920 35mm surface-to-surface missiles. There are two primary versions of the Mantis' weapon loadouts, both of which have an anti-matériel machine gun on the right arm and a missile pod on the left. The Mantis is capable of a maximum speed of 43.5–55.5 kilometers per hour (27–34.5 miles per hour). The Mantis integrates many features seen in the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, such as the neural interface link, compact fusion power plant, and shield generator. Though it lacks the sheer firepower and durability of the M808 Scorpion, the Mantis is far more maneuverable, requires one crew member, and is equipped with regenerating energy shields. Its spindly legs and tiny "thorax" give the Mantis a passing resemblance to its namesake, as do its weaponized arms. Standing roughly twenty feet tall and weighing over five metric tons, the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) Geyrion, which itself was the evolution of another HRUNTING project. It is derived, if tangentially, from the HRUNTING and YGGDRASIL teams' earlier Mark I Armor Defense System. The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System, commonly known as the Mantis, is a powered exoskeleton/ armored fighting vehicle used by the UNSC Marine Corps, UNSC Army, Office of Naval Intelligence, and private security forces after the Human-Covenant War.
