{{Mech Description
|Description=The Ares is a deadly new Omnimech being fielded by Clan Jade Falcon. The Ares was designed to win trials as well as battles, and so it excels at duels. Strangely enough, Clan Nova Cat captured the prototype during a trial of possession, and are currently manufacturing the Ares (called the Lion by Nova Cat warriors) at their main factory on Irece.
|Strengths=In the best tradition of naval destroyers, the Ares carries a high offensive weapons potential, gained through the reduction of armor capacity. The Ares also excels at pop-up, quick strike, or forward and back attacks from behind cover. Its excellent agility allows the chassis to advance, release a strike and quickly return to cover before counter fire can arrive. Its top speed is consistent with other mechs of its class, but the base speed of 80.00 kph is extremely high and allows the Ares to further maximize firepower. It possesses an exceptional turn rate, and in the hands of an experienced pilot it becomes a deadly threat.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
|Weaknesses=The high mounted cockpit lies directly beneath the Missile Rack, and does not provide much of a target. Near misses are likely to damage the torso sections, which carry no weaponry at all. All weapons on the Ares are located in the arms or weapons racks, with the arms containing the primary offensive firepower. As with all such designs, they are vulnerable to sharpshooters and battle damage. High mounted Missile Racks are notoriously vulnerable and the Omni Rack is prominently located, and also easily targeted. In close combat, collisions are very effective at destroying arms, so ramming becomes a viable offensive technique. Significant armor sacrifices were made to enable the Ares to carry the amount of weaponry it demonstrates, exploit this fact by targeting its arms, legs and special weapons racks.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
