HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis: Difference between revisions

Standing roughly twenty feet tall and weighing over five metric tons,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) armor system]], which itself was the evolution of [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|another HRUNTING project]]. Its spindly legs and tiny "thorax" give the Mantis a passing resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Mantis|its namesake]], as do its weaponized arms. Though it lacks the sheer firepower and durability of the [[M808 Scorpion]], the Mantis is far more maneuverable, requires one crew member, and is equipped with [[Energy shielding|regenerating energy shields]].{{Ref/Reuse|THB 10.17.12}}<ref>[[:File:Mantis in action.jpg|Image showing energy shield flaring]]</ref> The Mantis integrates many features seen in the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], such as the [[neural interface]] link, compact [[Fusion reactor|fusion power plant]], and shield generator. The Mantis is capable of a maximum speed of 43.5–55.5 kilometers per hour (27–34.5 miles per hour).{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
