The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I [J] Armor Defense System, nicknamed the Green Machine, is a variant of the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS.[1][2][3]

Overview

Design details

Main article: HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS

The Green Machine is a powered exoskeleton designed based on information that was able to survive the Algolis Invasion, and the destruction of Weapons Research Facility T12A. During the battle, Sergeant "Ghost" was able to use the original Mark I ADS to fend off a Covenant attack before initiating its self-destruct. In the aftermath of the attack, surviving research on the exoskeleton was recovered and used to create Green Machine.[3] Visually, the suit is reminiscent of the original Mark I ADS save for an olive green paint coating.

The Green Machine includes energy shielding that regenerates after it has not been hit for a few seconds; this plays well with hit-and-run raids and well-timed combined-arms strikes. It is armed with an array of miniguns, phased-plasma fusils, sonic blind wolf repellers, repair beacon pods, and fast-regenerating energy shields. The suit also includes a repair beacon ability heals up to ten nearby allies with constructor beams tuned to a pleasing Marine Corps-approved green color. The suit also does not include a helmet, allegedly because of Johnson's "rugged good looks".[2][3]

The Green Machine can be upgraded to include several features:

  • A Gauss chaingun upgrade that adds specialized high-power ammunition.[2]
  • A bubble shield.[2]
  • A smart missile pod.[2]

The Mark I [J] makes its debut in Halo Wars 2 in the form of the "Green Machine", a personalized Mark I [J] suit used by Leader Sergeant Johnson.[1]

Lean, mean, killing machine.

When Sergeant Johnson joined the Corps they didn't have any fancy-schmanzy power armor, but he's a quick learner. He drops onto the Ark in the "Green Machine," a bipedal weapon system custom-fitted with an array of miniguns, phased-plasma fusils, sonic blindwolf repellers, repair beacon pods, and fast-regen energy shields. He keeps a sharp stick handy as a backup weapon. The energy shielding rapidly regenerates after it hasn't been hit for a few seconds, which plays well with Sergeant Johnson's preferred tactics of hit-and-run raids and well-timed combined-arms strikes. The suit's repair beacon ability heals up to ten nearby allies with constructor beams tuned to a pleasing Marine Corps-approved green color.

The suit can be upgraded in the field, further enhancing the Green Machine's killing power. The Gauss Chaingun upgrade upgrade adds specialized high-power ammunition while the Beacon Shield pairs the repair beacon with a bubble shield, reducing incoming damage for those inside the repair radius. And last—but certainly not least—the suit can be upgraded with a Smart Missile pod for dealing with pesky nuisances at long range. Why doesn't he wear a helmet? Well, would YOU hide behind an armored faceplate if you had Sergeant Johnson's rugged good looks?

Trivia

  • Although Johnson is canonically dead during the events of Halo Wars 2, 343 Industries writer Jeff Easterling has confirmed that the Mark I [J] variant exists in canon.[4]
  • The "[J]" classification is likely a reference to Johnson's surname. This is shared with the other major exoskeleton introduced in Halo Wars 2 for use by Johnson, the Mark II [J] Colossus.
