| − | Named after the 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=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 88</ref>

| − | ==Armament==
| |
| − | 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.<ref name=TRO3060/>

| + | {{disambig}} |
| − | * BEO-14 - An [[Advanced Technology|Advanced Tech]] variant of the ''Beowulf'' introduced during the [[Jihad]], its weapon system has been revised with the era's newest weaponry. The Large Pulse Laser is dropped for a pair of Medium Variable Speed Lasers in the left arm, and its long-range fire power is reduced by removing one of the [[ER Medium Lasers]]. 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]].

| − | * BEO-X-7a - This ''Beowulf'' variant uses [[Experimental Technology]] like a [[Composite Structure]] and [[Stealth Armor]]. It upgrades the electronics suite to an [[Angel ECM]] and [[Bloodhound Active Probe]] that have been [[Armored Components|armored]]. The TAG and MASC systems remain, but the jump jets have been replaced by seven [[Improved Jump Jets]]. 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>''Experimental Technical Readout: ComStar'', p. 3</ref>
