The Prototype Powered Exoskeleton is an experimental bipedal exoskeleton developed by the UNSC Marine Corps in Weapons Research Facility T12A on Algolis. The armor was an earlier version of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, designed for use by the SPARTAN-IIs. However, despite its effectiveness, the idea was mainly scrapped, as the user was very vulnerable and it was too complicated for use on the limited number of Spartan-IIs.[1] The prototype of this Exoskeleton suit was destroyed along with all of its data due to the enactment of the Cole Protocol during the Battle of Algolis. [2]
Features
Unlike the more advanced MJOLNIR system, the user does not need to be augmented to wear the armor, nor does it link to the wearer's neural interface. The suit uses simple laser and radio for communications, doesn't recycle fluids, and is loaded out with pre-existing weaponry, making it overall cheaper to build than the MJOLNIR.[3]
Trivia
- The shoulderplate verniers on the Prototype Powered Exoskeleton are identical to the shoulderplate devices on the MSN-03 Jagd Doga from the famous Japanese mecha anime, Mobile Suit Gundam, sans the Funnels on the latter. The color is even a perfect match to the colours on Gyunei Guss's customized version.
