The Hayabusa Armor is a type of United Nations Space Command body armor.
Introduction
The Hayabusa is a powered battle armor system similar to the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR execpt stemming from Project HAYABUSA as opposed to Project: MJOLNIR. It was devolped by RKD, an Earth-based think tank in the year 2536. It was presented to the UNSC Ordinance Committee as an answer to the self-contained powered armor problem. Advanced materials are used in the production of the Hayabusa armor reducing the weight of the at the time current generation armor by nearly a third. It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.
Characteristics
Helmet Characteristics
The helmet features a upwards trio of spikes then one to each side and the face plate is fused into a single piece, bearing some resemblance to the armor of the Elites. The top rear of the helmet is pointed. The bottom rear, around the neck forms a sort of neck guard, like that of a samurai helmet.
Shoulder Characteristics
Its shoulders are replaced three metal plates arranged in an overlapping fashion similar to that of a samurai's.
Chest Characteristics
The Chest plate is much more ornate and thick than that of the Mark VI.

Trivia
- They bear a resemblance to Medieval Samurai.
- The horned section is similar to the helmet of the Elite Combat Armor.
- The armor bears similarities to the character Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the following series.
- The armor is in fact inspired by Ryu Hyabusa. The helmet is almost an exact copy of the "ninja of the future" costume in Ninja Gaiden on the x-box. You have to complete the campaign once and then select your new game while holding a certain button combination to activate the costume in Ninja Gaiden.
- Hayabusa is Japanese for Falcon.
