The TR/9 takes a circular form, with six fins protruding off the side. The centre of the disc has another four fins that, when the mine is activated, rotate upward. The mine's activation also sees it light up and emit a high-pitched beeping noise. The mine can use trip wires or [[laser]] beams to trigger the detonator, when something large enough gets within range.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}} Despite its flower-like appearance, the TR/9 trip mine is not the [[Lotus anti-tank mine]].

In earlier stages of [[Development of Halo 3|development]], the trip mine in ''Halo 3'' had a Covenant-themed texture, featuring purple metal and blue lights. This [[Cut Halo 3 equipment#Covenant trip mine|cut variant]] can be found in the files of the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'', though unused.{{Ref/Twitter|Kashiiera|1485054590542307330|Kiera キ|Quote=Today I learned a covenant tripmine exists in the Halo 3 Beta|D=13|M=02|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Twitter|Kashiiera|1492585987490426880|Kiera キ|Quote=I could make it different, the H3 beta only had the model and textures leftover not the actual equipment :(|D=13|M=02|Y=2022}} In the ''Halo 3 Beta'', deployed trip mines could stick to the bottom of a motionless vehicle. If the vehicle then moved, the mine would explode, killing all players inside of it.
