Recognition notes
The MTS-S is a 3061 rework of the 3052 Mantis that shifts the chassis from scout to striker, cruising at 97 km/h and topping out at 151, with a sprint of 194 km/h when MASC is engaged. Where the SA-MN carries a single Medium Laser in the center torso and a Small Laser in each side torso, the MTS-S fields an ER Medium Laser in the left torso, right torso, and center torso, backed by an ER Small Laser in the left torso and right torso. The heat-sink count drops from 12 double to 10 double. Claws remain mounted on both the left arm and right arm, and Solaris Arms builds the type at its Solaris VII plant.
