A dreadnought [[power fist]] may come in a variety of forms but all accomplish the same task. The most common form of the power fist is the four-fingered '''Mk V''' version.{{Cite This}} Another type is the increasingly rare '''Mk IV''' power fist which, although roughly shaped like the '''Mk V''', has bladed fingers which easily distinguishes the '''Mk IV''' from the its successor.{{Cite Thiscite this}}
A final and incredibly treasured form of the power fist is the hand attachment found on a few [[Venerable Dreadnought]]s. The hand attachment is the most easily recognizable variant as it resembles a human hand. This fist is unique in the fact that it gives the dreadnought occupant an opposable thumb, allowing much more control in the grasping or holding of objects.{{Cite This}}<br>
