Similar to the [[HRUNTING Mark III Cyclops]], there are numerous variants of the Mantis that have proven useful for a whole host of varied functions.<ref name="canon fodder greek">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-greek-squad '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Greek Squad'']</ref> | 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.<ref name="canon fodder greek">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-greek-squad '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Greek Squad'']</ref> | ||
*'''Corp Mantis''': Up-armored model used by the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]]. Liang-Dortmund occasionally loan their Mantises to local security forces for riot duty and shows of force. Their ammunition is usually replaced with non-lethal alternatives.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> The corporation also employs non-combat variants that are used in their colony reclamation efforts for terrain navigation to mining operations.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder greek}} | *'''Corp Mantis''': Up-armored model used by the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]].

*'''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 [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (J) 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''. 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 if a group of Mantis walkers are together they will smart target their designators.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': [[Phoenix Logs#UNSC Units|Phoenix Logs]] - Mantis</ref> | *'''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 (B) Cyclops|Cyclops]] and [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (J) Colossus]].

*'''Command Mantis''': Upgraded variant armed with twin high energy lasers and fitted with an advanced energy shield. Nicknamed ''Theseus'' by [[Jerome-092]], his personalized Command Mantis is a mobile command post and linebreaker unit that complements both his augmented physiology and leadership style. It incorporates one of the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s command-and-control nexus relays, enhancing Jerome's situational awareness of the battlefield and serving as a backup for the UNSC battlenet should the ship be crippled or destroyed.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/know-scope '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Community Update: Know-Scope'']</ref> | *'''Command Mantis''': Upgraded variant armed with twin high energy lasers and fitted with an advanced energy shield.
