The '''DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir''' is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] variant designed by the [[Materials Group]].<ref name="H5 Armory"/>

It is the closest GEN2 armor variant to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|MJOLNIR Mark VII]]. It has a versatile [[energy shielding]] system.<ref name="H5 Armory"/>

==Development history==

The DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir is an attempt by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Materials Group]] to re-engineer major improvements of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VII|Mjolnir Mark VII]] prototypes into the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|second generation]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. The most successful of these efforts is the DECIMATOR armor's versatile energy shielding system, which can be partially reshaped and sculpted.<ref name="H5 Armory"/>

==Usage==

==Behind the scenes==

First mentioned in [[Canon Fodder]] Issue 48 "Reclamation Begins",<ref name="req begins"/> the DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir was later confirmed to appear in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' in Canon Fodder Issue 50 "Fifty Caliber".<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fifty-caliber '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Fifty Caliber'']</ref> Internally, DECIMATOR armor began as "''A092''" when it was first conceived.<ref>[https://cdn1.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/107/509/large/airborn-studios-h5-a092-marmo.jpg The link reveals the armor was named A092 during production]</ref>
