Talk:Promethean Knight

Variants/Questions

two types? I could have seen one that was glowing blue in the campaign reveal and others glowing orange. Could this be evidence of two variants or even factions?--Theraptor92 16:40, 4 June 2012 (EDT)

I'm sorry I can't answer you're question, but i have one of my own: Are the Knights Forerunners or Forerunner machines?Weeping Angel 14:38, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

@Weeping Angel - Cortana says that the first Knight John encounters is "definitely not organic", so I'd assume they're just AI-driven automatons. @Theraptor92 - I'd imagine the blue ones are another model of Knight or a similar but distinct class of Forerunner machines. --Courage never dies. 14:56, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

I was thinking that maybe the knights are some stripped down form of the war sphinxes that the Didact mentions. The seekers that replaced the sphinxes are smaller, so perhaps this is just the combination of that technology with the programming of a sentinel. --FATGUNN 14:14, 26 July 2012 (EDT)

I was just wondering this - Could the glowing skull be simply used to intimidate the enemy?, i mean I doubt that the Knights are part organic in any way, instead the human like skull (Which could indicate they were used against humans in the past - Possibly the Human-Forerunner War - and considering the timing when it showed the skull, when it had pounced on MC, the skull could be used as psychological warfare, by scaring the enemy, but this is just as thought--Matt98 06:56, 7 August 2012 (EDT)

I would guess the skull belongs to a Forerunner - there's structural differences between the Knight skull and a normal human skull. Maybe the Knights are suits of armor, designed to keep fighting even after the Promethean inside is dead? SPARTAN-347 13:17, 7 August 2012 (EDT)

Well I don't see the forerunners adding to the legion of flood combat forms unless they have to so i doubt that the knights were ever organic. its probably like the huragok where its so advanced it might as well be organic. Jac0bBau3r1995 10:05, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

The Knights are probably "AI" in the same way Spark was, alive once but then turned into an AI by the Composer.ArchedThunder 04:33, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

I believe that the blue prometheans are sided with the Covenant Storm forces on Requiem. I say this purely speculation from this quote "First you encounter the Covenant. Then the Prometheans. But it is when they combine forces, and how they combine, that will offer biggest surprises." on this Halocouncil post -- [redacted] TMek7 ^{Invasion FTW!} 19:40, 7 September 2012 (EDT)

The blue Prometheans fight the Covenant in Forerunner (level), and when John awakens Didact, they turn red. Is it possible that they were under some control by the Librarian and were trying to stop anyone from reawakening Didact? 98.155.159.178 20:51, 7 December 2012 (EST)

That's exactly what was happening. That's why they even would attack John.Ocean Soul 20:53, 7 December 2012 (EST)

If The Librarian had some involvement, why would they attack John? The Sentinels didn't. Also, didn't Didact have some form of power while in his Cryptum? 98.155.159.178 21:58, 16 December 2012 (EST)

Citations

Where did you get the Lancer, Battlewagon, and Commander subtypes? I'm not very up to date so if you could put citations in for me that would be great. Thanks. Weeping Angel 22:37, 7 September 2012 (EDT)

That all came from this article [redacted]. Enjoy!--Spartacus, Halopedia Administrator ^Talk 00:11, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

Some new kind of war sphinx maybe?

I don't know what everyone else may or may not be thinking, but it seems to me that maybe these could somehow possibly some new kind of war sphinx, but more advanced? It seems possible that they may contain some of the essences of long-dead Promethean Warrior-Servants, but I cannot be sure of this. Your thoughts? --Xamikaze330 20:13, 17 September 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

My first guesses are that they're either A) live Prometheans encased in war sphinx-like suits of armor (possibly shriveled due to hibernation, hence the little "organic" arms sticking out) or B) dead Prometheans that have been converted by the Composer/something else into machines SPARTAN-347 22:14, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

Actually, in the newest Making Halo 4 documentary, at one point, I saw a concept art of the Knight, and it appears to have a humanoid inside a suit. Maybe it's an exoskeleton?. —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 07:57, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

At one point in Return of the Forerunners, Kiki Wolfkill stated that "We didn't want them to look like robots, because they're not robots." So maybe you're right about it being an exoskeleton.--Spartacus, Halopedia Administrator ^Talk 10:39, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

I noticed the humanoid inside too, what bothers me is the fact they disintegrate upon death, this could just be a security pre-caution though. File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 11:41, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

I don't think it's an exoskeleton. if you look at the picture at the top of the article you'll notice that the legs aren't physically connected to the rest of the body. Weeping Angel 11:47, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

Due to the Composer being in the game, as well as Kiki's comment, it seems likely to me they were Prometheans that were turned into AIs, as S-347 said. Alex T Snow 18:51, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

Headshot-able?

Is it me or are Knights immune to headshots? 98.155.159.178 19:25, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Its just you. They're quite headshot-able Spartan 501
