	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''''Beowulf''''' medium [[BattleMech]] was designed to act as a replacement for ''[[Mongoose]]'' reconnaissance 'Mechs that [[ComStar]] lost access to 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.<ref name=TRO:3060p88f>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 88–89: "Beowulf 'Mech Profile"</ref>	+	Named after the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_%28hero%29 hero of the epic] by the same name, the '''''Beowulf''''' [[BattleMech]] was designed to act as a replacement for ''[[Mongoose]]'' reconnaissance 'Mechs that [[ComStar]] lost access to 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 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.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

−	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/>	+	The primary weapon on the ''Beowulf'' is a highly accurate Blankenburg [[Large Pulse Laser]].

To increase its close combat capabilities, it mounts a pair of [[ER Small Laser|ER Small Lasers]], with a single standard [[Small Laser]] and a 'Mech Sword fitted to the right arm. [[Triple Strength Myomer]] replaces the Beowulf's MASC, to give a slightly slower, but less riskier means of achieving higher speeds. To aid in reaching the heat levels needed for the strengthened myomers to activate, a pair of double heat sinks were also removed. The ''Beowulf'' also features a [[C3 Slave Unit]].
