==Description==
As the [[AFFC]] was looking for [[OmniVehicle]] designs, [[StarCorps Industries]] quickly reacted. While StarCorps Industries had only built [['Mech]]s, it gathered a military vehicle design team and released a prototype in record time. Though not the only OmniVehicle submitted for consideration, the '''Manteuffel''' (named after the long line of [[Lyran]] armor generals) revealed itself to be the best. Officially it fulfilled all requirements, but unofficially StarCorps Industries had greased all the right palms.<ref name="TRO:3067p20+"/>

This tank is assigned only to highest-profile units within the [[LAAF]] and [[AFFS]] because of its expense and technologies it uses, such as the [[Lyran Guards]] in the [[Lyran Alliance|Alliance]] and [[Davion Brigade of Guards]] in the [[Federated Suns|Suns]]. The [[Deneb Light Cavalry]] [[RCT]]s also received some as they were one of the best combined-arms brigades in all of the [[Inner Sphere]], and could put these expensive tanks to good use.<ref name="TRO:3067p20+"/>

==Armament==
With every version able to deliver an awesome amount of firepower while being able to keep up other units, the Manteuffel is a serious tank to consider. The primary variant sports three [[ER medium laser]]s and a deadly [[Rotary AC/5]]. It can cripple any unit, 'Mech or armor. It also mounts a [[C3 slave]] module to coordinate fire with other C3 units.<ref name="TRO:3067p20+"/>

==Alternate Configurations==

*Alt. Config. A - The most common alternate configuration is built around the same principle of short-range firepower. It mounts an [[Ultra Autocannon/20]] in the turret, while its front is packed with two [[Medium Laser]]s and one [[ER Small Laser]]. It also mounts a [[C3 Slave]] module. BV (1.0) = 987 (C3: 137)

*; Alternate Configuration C : This configuration developed in [[Introduction Year::3068]]<ref name="MUL4"/> carries a [[Gauss rifle]] and two [[Machine Gun]]s. To compensate for its lack of weapons, it also carries a [[C3 master computer]]. BV (2.0) = 1,274<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 29</ref><ref name="MUL4">[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/5734/manteuffel-attack-tank-c/ MUL online entry for the Manteuffel (C) configuration]</ref>
+
*Alt. Config. B - The last variant, thought uncommon, is considered to be the most feared with its [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] plus one [[Medium Laser]] and one [[ER Small Laser]] for close in defense. BV (1.0)= 1028
  
*; Alternate Configuration D : This version turns the Manteuffel into a large infantry fighting vehicle introduced in [[Introduction Year::3075]]<ref name="MUL5"/>. The eight ton infantry compartment is mounted in the body, and the infantrymen deployed from there are supported by an [[LRM-10]] and twin [[Light PPC]]s. An [[anti-missile system]] protects from enemy missiles.

*; Alternate Configuration E : This [[Introduction Year::3087]]<ref name="MUL6"/> variant carries a [[BattleMech Taser]] and [[LB 10-X]] in the turret. It keeps the Guardian ECM Suite, but replaces the C3 slave. A pair of medium lasers and an ER Small Laser cover the front of the tank.
