Description: The Mantis is a powered exoskeleton armor defense system similar to the Cyclops. However, whereas the Cyclops was designed for labor and modified to function in combat, the Mantis was created specifically for combat purposes as an evolution of an earlier model. To that end it is equipped with several weapon and defense systems: including armor plating, energy shielding, and two weapon pods on either side of the cockpit.

The weapon pods contain a machine gun on the right pod and a five-shot rocket launcher on the left pod although these can be replaced with other weapons. The Mantis is also equipped with energy shielding similar to the Sabre and the Mjolnir Armor. The Mantis is also powerful enough to withstand a single Spartan laser shot with full shields. If enemies get too close to the vehicle where the Mantis' weapon pods cannot effectively target then the Mantis can overload its hydraulic systems to perform a stomp that will eliminate close threats. The stomp is powerful enough to destroy infantry and light-armored vehicles.
