Heavy—metal mayhem.

The Colossus is a superheavy vehicle unit which can be deployed by Sergeant

Johnson in place of the Scorpion. It is relatively slow, but fitted with a

devastating arsenal, capable of taking down almost any foe. The Colossus'

primary weapon is a long-range heavy railgun, a massive weapon originally

designed for installation on fortified structures. While the rail cannon can only

target ground units, its autocannon has an all—environment engagement profile.

After upgrades the Colossus can use Stomp, sending out a shockwave that

stuns and damages enemy ground units.

The Colossus is a next—generation exoskeleton combat unit designed by

Materials Group and Hannibal Weapon Systems for the UNSC Army. Isabel

retains its manufacturing templates from her supply-chain training on Earth,

though manufacturing these massive combat machines represents a

considerable burden on the Spirit of Fire's supplies. Sergeant Johnson claims to

have acquired the materials for his Colossus units via the classic Marine Corps

logistical expediency of 'borrowing' equipment that isn't nailed down [or couldn't

be pried free], but his actual source for these machines is a mystery wrapped in

an enigma, protected by shield generators and several tons of Titanium—A

armor plating.
