Overview:
         With exceptional speed for an assault 'Mech and the ability to dissipate great amounts of heat in a short time, the Man O' War is a threat to enemy assault 'Mechs and smaller machines that can normally outdistance a 'Mech this size.   In most configurations and on most missions, the Man O' War confronts enemy 'Mechs directly at medium and close range.   A standard Man O' War resembles a Warhammer chassis with Marauder arms.

Capabilities:
         Carrying almost all of its firepower in its arm-mounted weapon pods in all configurations, the Man O' War is a versatile design, requiring little time to change from one version to another.   The most common combination of weapons is an LB 5-X autocannon and SRM-6 missile launcher on each arm, with a small laser in the center torso. Almost as frequently seen is a model that carries two particle projection cannons in the right arm and four lasers in the left-a large pulse laser, a medium pulse laser, and extended-range medium and small lasers.          When extra firepower is needed, the Man O' War appears in Alternate Configuration B.   This model lacks some of the versatility of the others but carries a powerful Gauss rifle.   In the left arm, an SRM-4 rack sits atop and LRM-10 launcher, each supported by its own Artemis IV fire-control system.          Another favorite model is Alternate Configuration C, which carries a hexagonal array of medium lasers in its right arm.   The left arm holds a massive Ultra-20 autocannon.   For defense, this model has A-pod on each leg and an anti-missile system in the left torso.

Deployment
         Though more often seen among Clan Wolf forces than those of the other Clans, the Man O' War has played important roles across the entire invasion front.   Its combination of speed and firepower makes it an excellent complement to various other OmniMechs.
