First of all, store some of the old conversations. Second of all, the Juggernaut is most likely a combination of infected bodies and Flood Biomass. It would have been the Flood's equivalent to a Hunter, although with a melee emphasis, not a Fuel Cannon one.-- '''''[[User:Combak|page]]/[[Special:Contributions/Combak|contribs]]''''' 02:32, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Dragonclaws The prophets are too small for them to become a juggernaut. Perhaps It's a mixture between combat forms? --[[User:Deathfrye]]

it CAN be a hunter, every worm whould have to be infected though, they have been shown to indect every specis but hunters and engeiners. think about it. the 'body' of the hunter has more worms, so bigger mass, the arms have less worms, so they whould be thinner.

3. the form of the juggernaut doesn't need to be like the form of a hunter because hunters appear to be composed of multiple organisms that exists within the hunter armor.

==Canonicity==
'''Mention in "Feast of Bones"'''
So I have researched the matter as best as I could, and this is what I have found so far. There are two important sources that I should explain (both are already in the article's sources). The first one is an article entitled "Feast of Bones". Long story short, what we need to know is that the Juggernaut was supposed to be in ''Halo 2'' as a super intelligent deadly mini-boss which ended as a big, stupid, cheap, frustrating tank. In the end, the "conflict" between the original purpose and the AI killed the character's chance of being included in the game. The Juggernaut was "supposed to be" (I'm using Urk's own words) a "progenitor of the pure form seen in ''Halo 3''", i.e. it was supposed to be made of "raw materials", some kind of intermediate stage between the combat form and the Gravemind. Note that this section of the article mainly focuses on why the Juggernaut didn't make the cut (AI, etc), but it does mention "its demise and subsequent rebirth" (i.e. the Pure forms in ''Halo 3''). This is retroactively speaking, in other words the Juggernaut shared a similar concept with the Pure forms, it was "pure" before the term was coined (in ''Halo 3'').
'''Mention in "Flood level autopsy"'''
Now comes the second article, which is written by Vic DeLeon. It was a presentation of the Flood and how it was designed during the development of ''Halo 3''. The presentation may not be available anymore, but I do have pictures of it. Basically, for those who don't know, Vic DeLeon was the guy who was mainly responsible for the Flood stuff in ''Halo 3''. In his own words: "I researched, prototyped, and realized a new visual vocabulary and style for an old theme in the Halo universe." "A new visual language for the Flood needed to be created." Of course, as a senior artist, he was not "the" artist who did all the work, but he was responsible for everyhting from start to finish. Basically, he's as much the "Flood guy" for ''Halo 3'' as Robt McLees was for ''Halo: CE''. At one point, he talks a bit about the Flood forms (he doesn't elaborate a lot), and he talks roughly about three categories: the combat forms, the advanced forms, and then finally the new ''Halo 3'' pure forms. What struck me is that, among the advanced forms, he casually includes: [http://i.imgur.com/cOeEZFW.png "Juggernaut, Proto-Gravemind, Gravemind"] (He only shows pictures for the Juggernaut and the Gravemind), without even explaining that the Juggernaut was supposed to have been cut or anything. It's just as if it's an advanced form. Actually, for [http://i.imgur.com/jjrh0yD.png the combat forms], he only shows a Brute form, and for [http://i.imgur.com/R14lf2N.png the pure forms], he only shows the Tank form. Yet, for the advanced forms, he does take the time and space to include the Juggernaut. (Please understand that there are over 50 images overall, so I'm not going to upload them all, but only these 3 images are dedicated to the "Flood lifeforms" so the rest is irrelevant to the current discussion).  Note that the presentation as a whole is supposed to describe how development went for the Flood, so you may assume "nah he's just showing concepts", but this is in the beginning, when he simply introduces "Flood lifeforms", as if they were not cut content (Obviously only the Juggernaut seems out of place, there is nothing in the whole presentation about cut forms).
'''My understanding'''
So, in conclusion, this is my understanding: "Feast of Bones" mainly confirms that the Juggernaut was cut in ''Halo 2'' for gameplay concerns (Note that the article was published in 2010, but as a whole it mainly deals with the development of the Flood in ''Halo: CE'' and ''Halo 2''). But in "post-''Halo 3''" Bungie, Vic DeLeon (whose role in the most recent Flood stuff is quite significant) is also ready to accept the Juggernaut as a part of the "Flood canon". While "Feast of Bones" vaguely mentions the Juggernaut as a precursor to the later Pure forms, Vic mainly considers it to be way more powerful and "advanced" than the pure forms, though they share some similarities. This also reflects why it couldn't make it into the game twice, in other words the pure forms are more "docile" and the idea of a form made with raw materials could fit into ''Halo 3''. However they still don't know how to include the Juggernaut with a good AI so it can live up to its reputation. Note also that in ''Halo 2'', it was supposed to "control" other combat forms, and when the Juggernaut would be killed, the combat forms would automatically die. Something that implies the Juggernaut is not just a pure form, but something more advanced. It is made with raw materials, indeed, but it is even more advanced than the ''Halo 3'' pure forms. (Note that in "Feast of Bones", Robt McLees usually talks about the Proto-Gravemind/Gravemind as being able to control other Flood forms simply through "broadcasting" its intelligence into them, which is strikingly similar to the Juggernaut. In many ways, we can consider the Juggernaut not simply as a pure form, but really as some kind of "Proto-Gravemind combatant"). Because of the way those two sources deal with the Juggernaut, I think there is a reasonable case to be made.
'''Modifications to the article'''
The Juggernaut is either canon or at least [[Template:Semi-canon|semi-canon]], it would fall into the advanced category, and was deleted from ''Halo 2'' but not from the ''Halo'' universe itself as Bungie still clung to it as late as the early 2010s. I doubt whether 343i can have an explicit stance on the matter, as they have barely used the Flood in the meantime and even if they brought them back the Juggernaut itself is unlikely to come back properly. That leaves us with Bungie's last stance, which is actually quite ambiguous overall, but from Vic's work I would say the creature does fit somewhere in the universe, but not in the games due to AI limitations. Like in ''Halo 3'', where we were supposed to fight the Gravemind with a Scarab, but... well, you can imagine why it didn't happen. Anyway, Vic puts it too ostensibly on the same level as the Proto-Gravemind and the Gravemind, so I wouldn't dare to say it's got deleted from the universe. Deleted from ''Halo 2'', yes (according to Feast of Bones). But from Bungie's internal canon, never (according to Vic's point of view).

It would really help if you were to break up the wall of text into smaller sections, or at least summarize it. This speech goes on for more than a page and is very hard to follow.

::Yeah actually I should also summarize it. Basically, in ~2010 Bungie released two notable articles explaining things about the Flood. "Feast of Bones" explained why the Juggernaut was deleted in ''Halo 2'' (due to AI issues), but "Flood level autopsy" gave a few examples of Flood lifeforms, one of which was the Juggernaut (it was clearly about regular Flood lifeforms and not about deleted forms). My point is that "Feast of Bones" explains the Juggernaut was '''deleted from Halo 2''', but internally Bungie continued to consider it as a '''canonical "advanced form"''' (basically some kind of Proto-Gravemind combatant).

::::In my opinion, the one from the Mona Lisa was likely a combat form with a design reminiscent of the Juggernaut (technically, the Juggernaut is not a "host form" anymore, so you shouldn't be able able to see the host's head). But you could argue that it's a combat form in the phase of becoming a Juggernaut. [[User:Imrane-117|Imrane-117]] ([[User talk:Imrane-117|talk]]) 02:39, 12 March 2015 (EDT)
==Make a seperate page for the "Abomination" from Halo War 2==
That large creature in Halo Wars 2, which some are mistaken for the Juggernaut is actually called the "Abomination". I'll find the source tomorrow as it's late, but I believe it was actually mentioned on either waypoint and in the interview at E3.

==Halo Wars 2 not a Juggernaut==
In Halo Wars 2, the Juggernaut thing is called an Abomination. And not a Juggernaut. Is it to early to say one and two are the same thing when really its possible that Ske7ch only called it that in the stream cause it looked like it. I mean in a stream Grim called the Collosus the Mark II(D) yet later retracted that statement only to say they were related.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 20:02, 14 June 2017 (EDT)
There must be a source somewhere that lists "abomination" as its actual name because Halo Wiki had a page for it under that name 2 days ago. I also don't think "juggernaught" has ever been a name used in-unverse, given its brief appearance in The Mona Lisa motion comic. I think we just need to change the name of the page.[[User:Japeth555|Japeth555]] ([[User talk:Japeth555|talk]]) 20:08, 14 June 2017 (EDT)Japeth555
:This youtube video showing it should be suffice right?

:Cause it is an "Abomination".-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 20:13, 14 June 2017 (EDT)
So this is the abomination. I think this means the so-called "thrasher form" needs to b renamed as Juggernaut since it is actually called that in a board game.
:As for the latter point, I don't think an obscure and probably quasi-canonical board game should take precedence over the name given in a major release. We could list "Juggernaut" as an alternative name for the thrasher form, though even that's suspect - do we know for a fact they're the same thing, aside from looks?

=="The Mona Lisa"==
I ''really'' don't think "The Mona Lisa" motion comic should be listed as an appearance. If this article were solely about the Juggernaut it would be a different story. However, this page focuses on the canonical Abomination which, in spite of being inspired by the Juggernaut, is pointedly not the same thing. The combat form in the motion comic is just that — a combat form inspired by an unused concept, neither an Abomination nor a true Juggernaut. --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our answer is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 09:37, 15 June 2017 (EDT)
