Canon issues aside, shouldn't this be named "Hellspartan Project" or something? I know it's only a nickname, but it's the only official name we got and it's better than the current one, ie. having no name at all. And it isn't really "unknown" when we have a name, even if it's only a nickname.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 20:29, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

:Nice summary of all previous discussions. Its likely that its not canon, but there's a small chance that it is. In any case, I very much doubt that we'll know more about it in the future. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

::If we can count the REAP-X as canon, I see absolutely no reason why this can't count. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c: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>]] 23:11, 10 June 2014 (EDT)

:::This probably falls in the same category as a few others. It's noteworthy in reference to the action figure, but as a part of the canon, I'm very much inclined to say no. I think it's similar to the fact that the deployable equipment Invincibility was conspicuously missing from the first Essential Visual Guide, or how the only Spartan armor missing from the same book was Hayabusa. Did you notice they were missing? There are those at 343i that felt that Hayabusa was a nice nod to the old Ninja Gaiden video game and whom I believe there was a link to the Nicole Spartan collaboration at the time. It was just a little too hokey to be a part of the real Halo universe. Same with trying to justify how Invincibility could work outside a neat gameplay mechanic and that's why these were left out on purpose. (Based on that I inquired why FOTUS was in the newer Visual Guide, but it, strangely remained.) Even the write-up for the Grifball Spartan action figure can't be taken too seriously that in 2553 Grifball is the only sport folks are playing. Some stuff is interesting, yet not really part of the Halo canon. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 11:53, 11 June 2014 (EDT).
