 ===Variant E===
 This one is as "[[Gameplay Tactics#Poptarting|poptart]]" as one gets. The 2 [[SRM2]] launchers are there to threaten enemy's aim rather than its welfare. To maximize this effect the pilot is advised to fire them in succession of the other weapons instead of at once. Utilizing this break for the other two weapon groups, the cool [[LBX5|LB 5-X]] trio and the [[ERPPC]], are best used interchangeably as they become ready to fire. It goes without saying that this deadly ballet is rather a game of tough nerves than one of who shoots the fastest. Especially with the ever hot [[ERPPC]] on the table. The two main weapon groups both converge on 900 meters making thus the range slightly below 900m its sweet spot or a kill zone for slower targets. Cutting no slack for flyers or fast movers, the [[LBX5|LB 5-X]] trio’s pellets move notably faster than a ppc bolt, meaning less target leading is required. The LBX also receives a bonus against flying targets and tanks. The weary pilot is advised to remember; firing both weapon types and simultaneously using its [[JJ|Improved Jump Jets]] ends up heavily taxing the two [[DHS]]. All in all, the E is a formidable, far reaching mech, ideal for a seasoned pilot who keeps an eye on his heat when the push comes to shove.

 The Thanatos Prime packs an [[Energy Weapon]]-heavy loadout consisting of an 2 [[ERLL]]s and 2 [[ERML]]s.  This diverse array of [[Lasers]] lends the Prime variant decent damage capabilities at nearly any range, and when supplemented by its [[MRM30]], the Thanatos Prime can put alot of hurt on a target very quickly.  [[GECM]] and [[C3]] allows it to stay relatively concealed while sharing its radar information with allies, while [[JJ|Standard Jump Jets]] afford it additional maneuverability and [[Gameplay Tactics#Poptarting|poptarting]] capabilities.  The Prime variant has excellent combat longevity due to both its large Energy Weapon arsenal, as well as the free ton for MRM30 reloads; however, with only 6 [[DHS]], it suffers a bit when it comes to heat management. Also, due to the [[MRM30]]s long reload time and relatively challenging use, the Prime typically deals less damage over time compared to the other variants so Mechwarriors should be wary of not trying to bite off more than one can chew.
-Note: This asset has both C3 and GECM, meaning there is no benefit to using [[Radar#Passive Radar|passive radar]] except when covered by allied [[AECM]].

 ===Variant G===
-Very few mechs' can make a single [[Gauss]] rifle look so good. Two cool [[ERLL]] complement the [[Gauss]] pinpoint accuracy, and the [[LRM10]] batter and shake any attempts to return fire. This variant shines brightest floating around the 800-900m mark, persistently chewing through mechs while shrugging off return fire with its tremendous armor. [[Jump_Jets|Jump Jets]], [[GECM]] and 86kph mean your a menace across the map, always able to position yourself wherever your enemies want you least. As a bonus, this chassis can effectively handle [[aerospace]] as well, considering your entire arsenal has strong AA capabilities, and well timed jumping can both keep you safe from enemy bombs, and knock out enemy bombers who dare fly too low. This variant should be careful to avoid engagements with fast, close range brawlers, who can close into an uncomfortably close distance where your relatively low DPS' exceptional range means nothing.

 ===Variant B===
-The [[Inner Sphere|Inner Sphere's]] only part time Arrow boat, the Thanatos B sports a single [[ArrowIV]] launcher, backed by a duo of [[LBX2]] and an [[ERLL]]. The Arrow launcher, with all of its quirks, forces the asset's operation to revolve around it. This mean you will need a forward observer to direct your artillery fire, or a vantage point that affords you to crouch in order to get a manual lock. An iNARC launcher allows the variant to attach targeting beacons to targets 900m out. The backup weapons are not too formidable damage-wise, but allow it provide decent direct fire support up to 1350m away with its autocannons and out to 800m with its [[ERLL]]. In practice, its 2 [[DHS]] mean significant heat issues, especially when taking its [[JJ|Jump Jets]] into account, which are better off being used by themselves while getting into position or escaping, rather than for jumpsniping purposes.
+The [[Inner Sphere|Inner Sphere's]] only part-time Arrow [[asset]], the Thanatos B sports a single [[Cluster ArrowIV]] launcher, backed by a duo of [[LBX2]]s and an [[ERLL]]. The Arrow launcher, with all of its quirks, forces the B's operation to revolve around it. In order to get [[target lock]]s, because the B lacks any improved [[radar]], it is necessary to [[crouch]] or make use of the B's impressive [[Self NARCing]] ability with its 900m-[[range]]d [[iNARC]] launcher. When enemies charge the B, although it has the [[armor]] and [[twist|360° torso twist]] to be an effective [[damage spreader]], it lacks the weaponry to defend itself. Charging enemies call for a swift retreat, and thanks to the B's 360° torso twist, it can more than adequately [[kite]] enemies and pepper them with LBX, Arrows, and laser fire as it runs away. When operating at a distance from allies, the B greatly benefits from [[NARC]] or [[TAG]] [[support]] from allies, and greatly benefit from increased [[battlefield awareness]] on a high vantage point. Such high points are accessible by the B, thanks to its [[JJ]]s. [[Dumb-firing]] the ArrowIVs is certainly an option, although with diminished effectiveness. With only two [[DHS]] the B struggles with [[heat]] from using all of its weapons in concert with its JJs and as such, benefits from some modestly restrained jumping or withholding the ERLL when jumping to fire Arrows from a higher elevation.
