The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I [J] Armor Defense System is a variant of the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS.^[1]^[2]

Gameplay

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] 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".^[3] ^[3]

Upgrades

The Green Machine can be upgraded to include several features:

A Gauss chaingun upgrade that adds specialized high-power ammunition.^[3]
A bubble shield.^[3]
A smart missile pod.^[3]

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.
