The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] shows a picture of the Covenant Bomb with a description and heading as an Antimatter Charge. This does not appear to be an unintentional error but rather an intentional clarification. So what does everybody think? Should the articles be merged? I think so. --[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 02:07, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

An exact transcript of the Halo Encyclopedia article:
An exact transcript of the Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe article:
'''Antimatter Charge''' ''While Humans use nuclear power (fission and fusion), antimatter is the energy of choice for the Covenant. In lay terms, antimatter is the "opposite" of normal matter, and when the two collide, they produce an amount of energy that shames even the largest UNSC reactors-for example, an H-Bomb only utilizes seven percent of its total potential energy, while all antimatter explosions utilize one hundred percent. Through this the Covenant has developed engines that "never" need recharging and weapons that can glass entire planets. Humanity, meanwhile, can only produce less than a gram of antimatter a year, even in its most advance laboratories.''<BR>Directly next to this is an image of the Covenant Bomb. The only instances of image mistakes found in the Encyclopedia are where one type of something is mistaken for another type (ie, Scout Armor in the place of Rogue), and these are clearly unintentional oversights. There is nothing as blatant as this, therefore I have no doubt that it is an intentional clarification.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 18:14, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
