*'''Hannibal Mantis''': Variant upgraded by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] that features a rapid-fire gauss cannon, experimental ion field missile warheads that releases several submunitions, and the ability to EMP other vehicles with a stomp attack. While it doesn't have as heavy armor as the ONI variant it does have a stronger energy shield, at the cost of recharge time.<ref name="canon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-close-quarters '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Close Quarters'']</ref> | *'''Hannibal Mantis''': Variant upgraded by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] that features a rapid-fire gauss cannon, experimental ion field missile warheads that releases several submunitions, and the ability to EMP other vehicles with a stomp attack.

*'''Isabel's Mantis''': This variant is a modified version of the basic model for use of the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}}'s ground forces, with adjustments to reuse parts produced for the [[HRUNTING Mark III Cyclops|Cyclops]] and [[Colossus]]. It also lacks the neural interface control systems installed on the basic model, something that was a necessary concession due to the older manufacturing technology on the Spirit of Fire.

It also lacks the neural interface control systems installed on the basic model, something that was a necessary concession due to the older manufacturing technology on the ''Spirit of Fire''. This variant's default weapon is a chaingun, but it can be replaced with a gauss repeater, the missile capacity can also be upgraded. A shield requisition upgrade can be added to add shields to the Mantis. A target designator can also be added so the Mantis can "paint" a single target to coordinate attacks on using the local battle net, and it a group of Mantis walkers are together they will spart target their designators.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': [[Phoenix Logs#UNSC Units|Phoenix Logs]] - Mantis</ref> | ||
