Template:Vehicle Infobox The Mantis is a combat powered exoskeleton introduced into the UNSC Defense Force in the post-war years. [1] It is one of the only known ground combat vehicles of the UNSC named after an insect.
Overview
Standing roughly twenty feet tall, the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger Cyclops Mark II. It features a large-caliber rotary cannon on the right arm and five rocket pods on the left arm. The Mantis is also equipped with energy shields. [2] The Mantis was first used by the Marines aboard UNSC Port Stanley [3] and later when the UNSC Infinity encountered Requiem in 2557.[1]
Production notes
Its turret profile, armament of heavy caliber machine guns and missiles, hinged legs, and overall height greatly resembles the Gekko biomechanical fighting vehicle from the 2008 video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
