This article is about the powered exoskeleton. For the Covenant anti-air cannon nicknamed the "Mantis", see Type-27 Anti-Aircraft Cannon.

Template:Vehicle Infobox The Mantis is a combat powered exoskeleton introduced into the UNSC Defense Force in the post-war years. [1] It is the only known ground combat vehicle 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 and dimensions greatly resembles the Gekko biomechanical fighting vehicle from the 2008 video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. A large, port-side, front-facing radar dome is reminiscent of the prototype metal gear REX first introduced in 1998's Metal Gear Solid and reintroduced in Guns of the Patriots.
