Hey, is there information available anywhere about how much this costs to mass produce? I read somewhere (probably here in its respective article) that the original H/Y Mark I ADS was very costly to produce, more costly than even MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. So how does this particular powered exoskeleton differ in cost from the original and from MJOLNIR? --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 17:03, 5 March 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330

:A lot of the production costs when developing something from scratch go into innovation - new systems, new ideas, etc. The original Hrunting/Ygdrassil was expensive because there was just one. The Mantis is produced on a wider scale, so individual cost is probably far lower, though I don't doubt developing the Mark IX prototype was still expensive. As for exact figures, we just don't know until someone from 343i or a novel author says, and I don't know if it's really important enough to mention. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 23:39, 5 March 2014 (EST)

I'm pretty confident if prototypes were being used on Meridian in 2551 than 2403 is a massive typo/mistake on 343i's part.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 20:57, 16 January 2016 (EST)

:Yeah... the H4EVG says the Mantis at Meridian was the first prototype. It's almost certainly a mistake as even 2503 would seem off, so we should probably mention it in a note or something.

::If I had to guess they meant 2553, to line up with The Thursday War.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 00:58, 17 January 2016 (EST)
:I agree that the 2403 date can be safely ruled out as an error. Even the very same Waypoint article states that ''"These efforts met with mixed success during the Covenant War due to lack of engineers and high tier manufacturing facilities; it was only after the conflict ended that the full potential of YGGDRASIL was realized."'' The Mantis' MJOLNIR-derived lineage alone makes it more recent than 2525, and since it's the ninth iteration of the exoskeleton program that started with the suit from ''Prototype'', everything points to it being a late Covenant War/early post-war creation. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 11:46, 17 January 2016 (EST)
::I agreed, but now I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the excerpt: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/mantis "An evolution of earlier HRUNTING exoskeletons..."] The [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/cyclops Cyclops article] didn't give much information on the origin of HRUNTING. This could be a reference to the earliest iteration possible of this multi-projects item. The closest example would be the [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/warthog Warthog article], which gives the pre-Warthog Z-12 prototype's date instead of the M12 Warthog FAV's date. Though the period is much shorter there. [[User:Imrane-117|Imrane-117]] ([[User talk:Imrane-117|talk]]) 02:03, 16 February 2016 (EST)
