The ''Beowulf'' weighs almost twice as much as the 'Mech it replaces, allowing it to carry a heavier weapons payload and more armor.<ref name=TRO:3060p88f>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 88–89: "Beowulf 'Mech Profile"</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The primary weapon on the ''Beowulf'' is a highly accurate [[Blankenburg (LPL)|Blankenburg]] [[large pulse laser]], supported by two [[Diverse Optics (ERML)|Diverse Optics]] [[ER medium laser]]s. To make it easier for the 'Mech to hunt down its targets, the ''Beowulf'' also mounts a [[Cyclops (Beagle)|Cyclops]] [[Beagle active probe]], and a [[Garret Mole]] [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] target designator allows the 'Mech to designate targets for [[Arrow IV]] artillery attacks.<ref name=TRO:3060p88f/> To save weight on the 'Mech and still allow for high speeds, the ''Beowulf'' is powered by a [[GM 270]] [[XL engine]] that weighs half as much as a standard [[fusion engine]]. It also mounts [[MASC]], enhancing its top speed of 129.6 km/h to allow it to keep up with most light 'Mechs. To traverse rough terrain, the ''Beowulf'' has six [[Odin Type II]] [[jump jet]]s that allow it to jump up to 180 meters. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Beowulf'' carries eight and a half tons of [[Wall Type 6]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name=TRO:3060p88f/> ==Variants== *; BEO-14 : An [[Technology Rating|advanced tech]] variant of the ''Beowulf'' introduced during the [[Jihad]] that has its weapon systems revised with the era's newest weaponry. The [[large pulse laser]] and one [[ER medium laser]] were dropped for a pair of [[medium variable speed pulse laser]]s in the left arm and a pair of [[ER small laser]]s, one standard [[small laser]], and a 'Mech [[Sword (weapon)|sword]] in the right arm. [[Triple Strength Myomer]] replaces the [[MASC]] to give a slightly slower, but less risky means of achieving higher speeds and deal heavier melee damage. To aid in reaching the heat levels needed for the [[TSM]] to activate, a pair of [[double heat sink]]s were removed. The ''Beowulf'' also features a [[C3 slave unit]]. BV (2.0) = 1,287<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 127 </ref> *; BEO-X-7a : This ''Beowulf'' variant, designed by [[ComStar]] [[Adept]] [[Jacob Arevalo]], uses [[experimental technology]] like a [[composite internal structure]] and [[stealth armor]]. It also upgrades the onboard electronics to an [[Angel ECM suite]] and [[Bloodhound active probe]] that have been [[Armored Components|armored]]. The [[Target Acquisiton Gear|TAG]] and [[MASC]] systems remain, but the [[jump jet]]s have been replaced by seven [[improved jump jet]]s, and a [[Full-Head Ejection System]] is also fitted to protect the pilot. To make room for all this equipment, the cockpit was replaced by a [[small cockpit]] and the 'Mech only carries a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in each arm for weaponry.<ref name=XTRO:CSp3>''Experimental Technical Readout: ComStar'', p. 3</ref> ==Design Quirks== The ''Beowulf'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>[[BattleMech Manual]], p. 90: Design Quirk Table - Beowulf Entry</ref> * [[Command BattleMech]] * [[Exposed Actuators]] * [[Extended Torso Twist]] The ''BEO-X-7a Beowulf'' variant is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name=XTRO:CSp3/> * [[Exposed Actuators]] * [[Extended Torso Twist]] * [[Prototype]] ==Related BattleMechs== *'''''[[Mongoose]]''''' - The ''Beowulf'' BattleMech was designed as a better armed and armored replacement for destroyed ''Mongoose'' BattleMechs.<ref name=TRO:3060p88f/> *'''''[[Mongoose II]]''''' - Both the ''Beowulf'' and the ''Mongoose II'' are 40-ton upgraded versions of the [[Star League]]-era ''Mongoose'' scout BattleMech.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 72</ref> *'''''[[Beowulf IIC]]''''' - After receiving extensive access to [[Clan]]-tech following [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s merger with the Republic during the [[Jihad]], Odin developed a more expensive Clan-grade version of the ComStar designed original for Dominion's ''[[touman]]'' to help increase their profit margin.<ref name=TROP-144>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 144: "Beowulf IIC"</ref> ==Notes== * The ''Beowulf'' is named after the [[w:Beowulf (hero)|hero of the epic]] by the same name. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Beowulf.jpg|Original ''Beowulf'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3060|TRO:3060]]'' File:Beowulf_X-7A_XTRO_Comstar.png|Experimental BEO-X-7a ''Beowulf'' from ''[[Experimental Technical Readout: ComStar|XTRO:ComStar]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[BattleMech Manual]]'' *''[[Combat Operations]]'' *''[[Experimental Technical Readout: ComStar]]'' *''[[Master Unit List]]'' *''[[Record Sheets: 3060]]'' *''[[Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged]]'' *''[[Technical Readout: 3060]]'' *''[[Technical Readout: 3075]]'' [[Category:'Mechs]] [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:Medium BattleMechs]] [[Category:45 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:ComStar BattleMechs]] [[Category:Free Rasalhague Republic BattleMechs]]
