[ID: A HORUS Manticore says “hey guys”. A person, pointing to it, calls out “CASTRATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD”. It responds with “NOT WHAT IT’S CALLED”.]

      The HORUS Manticore is a Frame in the TTRPG Lancer that focuses around electronic attacks, and it possesses a special self-destruct state known as “Castigation”, which causes a reactor meltdown when the mech is destroyed (the pilot cannot escape this, so it will eliminate everything within its range). The name for the ability that activates this state is “CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD”.

        To clarify, it’s not that the pilot can’t escape it; you can totally hop out and try to brave the combat scenario on foot. It’s just that for the mega meltdown to go off, you MUST be in the mech and accept your fate.🤘

    This core power can only be used if the Pilot keeps the chastity cage on until the end of the sequence
