The Mantis is a powered exoskeleton used by the UNSC Defense Force.[1]
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] At least one Mantis was aboard the UNSC Infinity when the ship came across Requiem in 2557.[1]
Trivia
- The Mantis is the second known UNSC vehicle to be named after an insect, the first one being the AV-12 Hornet.
- The vehicle's design is inspired by Metal Gear REX from the Metal Gear series.
