While the Goblin itself is shielded with thick plates of armor, the battlesuit's operator is protected inside the cockpit by a dedicated [[Energy shielding|energy shield]]. The Goblin is believed to be able to operate even under the most dire of circumstances.<ref name="buzz"/> | ||
The Goblin's design is created in the likeness of the [[Forerunner]]s' "pre-ascension" form, as popularized by famous Unggoy theologian [[Ang'napnap the Enlightened]]. | The Goblin's design is created in the likeness of the [[Forerunner]]s' "pre-ascension" form, as popularized by famous Unggoy theologian [[Ang'napnap the Enlightened]]. The Goblin combines exotic engineering acumen, [[Covenant]] manufacturing technology allowing the battlesuit to be automatically assembled, and a user interface design built specifically for Unggoy operators. Personnel of the [[United Nations Space Command]] agree that a single Goblin is a greater threat than an entire combat [[lance]] of unsuited, albeit a little less dangerous than a [[File (unit)|file]]. | ||
Despite its size, the Goblin is incredibly mobile and capable of jumping up to two hundred feet into the air. The Goblin is able to use its "arms" to punch any opponent that draws too close, or utilize an [[electromagnetic pulse]] capable of disabling nearby vehicles. | Despite its size, the Goblin is incredibly mobile and capable of jumping up to two hundred feet into the air.
