'''Knight Battlewagons''' are a class of [[Promethean Knight]] and are part of the army of war machines created by the [[Ur-Didact]] near the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. Lying dormant within the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] for 100,000 years along with their imprisoned master, the constructs were reawakened when the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[First Battle of Requiem|stumbled upon]] the installation in late [[2557]].

== Overview ==
Battlewagons are the most dangerous and unpredictable of the Promethean Knights and can be considered more of walking weapons than individual combatants.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} Created for close-quarter combat, Battlewagons are heavily armed and armored,{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} serving as a last line of defense when other forces have failed. Their hulking frames are covered in dense, resilient armor. They employ a variety of weapons from the Promethean arsenal, including [[Z-250 lightrifle|LightRifles]] and [[Z-130 Suppressor|Suppressors]] for long-range combat, and [[Z-180 Scattershot|Scattershots]] for close-quarters combat.<ref name="gi">'''GameInformer''', ''October 2012 edition'' (digital content)</ref> They are also capable of deploying [[Z-2500 autosentry|autonomous sentries]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} As of late [[2558]], Knight Battlewagons are also seen with [[Z-390 incineration cannon|Incineration Cannon]]s.<ref name="Genesis">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign levels ''[[Reunion]]'', ''[[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]'', and ''[[The Breaking]]''</ref>

Battlewagons have been known to singlehandedly lay siege to even the most heavily fortified of sites.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} They are capable of leaping high towards an enemy and striking them with their swords, an ability only seen in Battlewagons.

== Appearance ==
The Knight Battlewagons of Requiem predominantly distinguished themselves from other classes of Knight by barbs of hard light laced within their armor. These protrusions communicate rank and show excess energy discharge. Their heads are reinforced and have a light pattern resembling an 'X'. Their carapaces also have pyramid-shaped heavy-shield distributors. The Battlewagons have elongated and larger [[hardlight blade]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The Knight Battlewagons seen in late 2558 did not possess this design; instead, their appearance was closer to the more common Knights, but with extra armor around their jaw area.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Official Game Guide]] (Collector's Edition)''', ''page 298''; chapter ''Escape from A.R.C.''
