SHINOBI-class Mjolnir: Difference between revisions
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
(Sorry but why did you reversed my edit ? The Encyclopedia retconned Tom's GEN2 armor as a full set of Shinobi. As a new content, I thought it take precedence on the cover of Legacy of Onyx.) |
BaconShelf (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 1518095 by Revanfear (talk) the encyclopedia doesn't override the book cover - he may have used both at different times. furthermore, the suit is not explicitly GEN2, but noted as *compatible* with it) Tag: Undo |

SHINOBI-class Mjolnir is an armor compatible with MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2).[1]
Overview
Specifications
Despite its origin, the shoulder pauldrons are compatible with other armor sets.[2]
Discovery and research
Discovered aboard a derelict freighter of unknown origin at Lacaille 9352, the armor has no known manufacturer or intended user. The UNSC Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence continues to probe the recovered suits in an attempt to unlock what appears to be several levels of restricted functionality. SHINOBI's core systems remain cryptic "black boxes" to analysts, though ONI was successful in integrating the SHINOBI helmet with standard GEN2 Mjolnir techsuits and Spartan neural interfaces. Though aware of the inherent risks involved, ONI has authorized limited testing of the SHINOBI armor for a select few classified Spartan-IV operatives.[1][3]
Usage
Spartan Tom-B292 used the shoulders of this armor in 2558.[2]
In-game information
Halo 5: Guardians
Shinobi was first introduced as an armor set in Halo 5: Guardians in the Battle of Shadow and Light update.[4] The Shinobi set has one alternate skin design, Heartless - implemented in the Hammer Storm update.
