| − | Named after the hero of the epic by the same name, the '''''Beowulf''''' [[BattleMech]] was designed to act as a replacement for ''[[Mongoose]]'' 'Mechs that [[ComStar]] lost when [[Terra]] fell to the [[Word of Blake]]. The ''Beowulf'' weighs almost twice as much as the 'Mech it replaces, allowing it to carry a heavier weapons payload and more armor. The ''Beowulf'' has a [[MASC]] augmented top speed of 129.6 km/h that allows it to keep up with most other light 'Mechs. To traverse rough terrain, the ''Beowulf'' has six Odin Type II [[jump jet]]s that allow it to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters. 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]]. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Beowulf'' carries eight and a half tons of Wall Type 6 [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor.

| |
| − | The primary weapon on the ''Beowulf'' is a highly accurate Blankenburg [[Large Pulse Laser]]. This is supported by two Diverse Optics Type [[ER Medium Laser]]s. To make it easier for the 'Mech to hunt down its targets, the ''Beowulf'' has a Cyclops-Beagle [[Active Probe]] and also a Garret Mole [[TAG]] target designator that allows the 'Mech to designate targets for [[Arrow IV]] artillery attacks.

| + | {{disambig}} |
| − | * BEO-14 - An [[Advanced Technology|Advanced Tech]] variant of the ''Beowulf'' introduced during the [[Jihad]]. Its weapon system revised with era's newest weaponry. Large Pulse Laser is dropped for pair Medium Variable Speed Lasers in the left arm. Its long-range fire power is reduced by dropping one of the 'mechs' [[ER Medium Laser]] now mounted in the right arm. To increase is close-in abilities, the 'mech has been given pair of [[ER Small Laser|ER Small Lasers]] and single standard [[Small Laser]]. Also, it has been given 'Mech Sword fitted to the 'Mech right arm. [[Triple Strength Myomer]] replaces the Beowulf's MASC, to give slight slower, but less risker means to achieve higher speeds. The 'mech has reduced its Double Heat Sinks to only 10, instead of 12. The 'Mech also has been equip with [[C3 Slave Unit]].
