{{Mech Description
|Description=An 80 ton assault Mech recently put into production by Clan Coyote. The Mech carries a blistering array of [[ballistic]] and [[energy]] weapons.
|Strengths=While the top speed is unimpressive, when coupled with its [[Jump Jets|Jump Jet]] capability and [[Advanced Optics]], the Canis makes a powerful and quickly deployed long range threat. The torso performance helps it excel at close combat, where its ability to carry large groups of energy weapons can be put to good use. It carries a heavy compliment of [[Weapon Hardpoint|ballistic]] slots as well, mounted in two Gun Racks directly above the left and right torso. These can be vulnerable to enemy fire due to their exposure and the fact that no additional armor can be configured over the standard 54 points of internal armor. The [[Enhanced Optics]] create an especially deadly sniper and the Jump capability gives it wide latitude in battlefield positioning options.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
|Weaknesses=Its agility factors are somewhat disappointing, but this does not severely detract from its effectiveness in most combat situations. A heavy [[Weapon Hardpoint|energy]] slot allocation will often tempt opposing pilots to configure a hot running design, and these can be countered with flame or other heat generating weapons. It carries no stealth equipment such as [[ECM]] or the [[IFF Jammer]], and is generally not difficult to detect. Be aware of its jump capability, prepare to allocate forces to prevent the Canis from deploying to prime long range sniper positions. Interceptors units tasked with engaging the Canis should be equipped with [[Jump Jets]] and carry suitable offensive firepower as the Canis is a deadly close combat threat as well as a capable sniper.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
