The ''Men Shen'' is sheathed in 11 tons of armor, giving it a respectable amount of protection, and mounts a fixed [[Beagle active probe]] on its base chassis, allowing it to serve in a recon role regardless of its configuration. For additional weapons and equipment the ''Men Shen'' has 17 tons of free [[pod space]].<ref name=TRO3060p102/> In its Primary configuration the ''Men Shen'' is a powerful close combat 'Mech and is capable of providing indirect fire support to friendly units. For close-range combat, the primary configuration has four highly accurate [[medium pulse laser]]s. To provide both direct and indirect long range fire support, the primary configuration of the ''Men Shen'' has an [[LRM-15]] launcher with an [[Artemis IV]] fire control system for increased missile accuracy.<ref name=TRO3060p102/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : A versatile configuration, the A configuration has an [[LB 10-X autocannon]] that allows it to fire both standard and cluster ammunition. For close combat, the A configuration has three [[ER medium laser]]s and a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] laser designator allowing the 'Mech to call in friendly artillery fire on a target.<ref name=TRJp114f /> BV (1.0) = 1,232<ref name=COp122/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060'', p. 160</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,529<ref name=TRJp114f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 148</ref> *; Alternate Configuration B : Intended to act as a long range sniper, the B configuration of the ''Men Shen'' carries as its primary weapons a pair of [[LB 2-X autocannon]]s that allow it to fire either standard and cluster ammunition as well as act as an anti-aircraft 'Mech. For close combat, the B configuration has four [[ER medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRJp114f /> BV (1.0) = 1,128<ref name=COp122/>, BV (2.0) = 1,484<ref name=TRJp114f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 149</ref> *; Alternate Configuration C : A close combat machine, the C configuration carries two highly accurate [[large pulse laser]]s as its primary weapons, backed up by an [[ER small laser]]. To handle the 'Mech's heat load, the C configuration has an additional [[double heat sink]] as well as an [[ECM Suite]] to protect against enemy electronic warfare equipment.<ref name=TRJp114f /> BV (1.0) = 1,151<ref name=COp122/>, BV (2.0) = 1,435<ref name=TRJp114f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 150</ref> *; Alternate Configuration D : Intended for both long range and close combat, the D configuration of the ''Men Shen'' has an [[ER PPC]] to provide long range firepower. When it closes with an enemy, it can bring its two [[SRM-4]] launchers and two [[medium pulse laser]]s to bear. For added heat dissipation, the D configuration has an additional [[double heat sink]].<ref name=TRJp114f /> BV (1.0) = 1,157<ref name=COp122/>, BV (2.0) = 1,581<ref name=TRJp114f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 151</ref> *; Alternate Configuration E : Developed during the [[Jihad]], this configuration was developed for anti-infantry missions. For this role, the ''Men Shen'' E was equipped with a [[Machine Gun Array]] in each arm, each of which were given four [[light machine gun]]s with one ton of ammunition to share. For its heavier weapons, it been given a [[plasma rifle]] with two tons of ammunition and two [[medium laser]]s. BV (2.0) = 1,625<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'' p. 152 - E Configuration from RS3060u.</ref> *; Alternate Configuration F : The second configuration conceived during the Jihad, this in role of a brawler. The 'Mech receives a [[snub-nose PPC]] in each arm linked to a [[targeting computer]]; the 'Mech equipment also includes [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]]. BV (2.0) = 1,648<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'' p. 153 - 2nd Jihad variant developed during the Jihad for the Men Shen.</ref> *; Alternate Configuration G : This [[Dark Age]] configuration carries a [[TSEMP cannon]], two [[Streak SRM-4]]s, and two [[medium X-Pulse laser]]s. BV (2.0) = 2,267<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 131</ref> *; Alternate Configuration U : This configuration carries a [[snub-nose PPC]], [[ER medium laser]], and a pair of [[SRT-4]]s, and also keeps the [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] of the other version. To allow it to move quickly underwater it carries six [[UMU]]s.
