Just going to put this out there, We’ve seen the Cyclops, Cyclops 2, and now Mantis. The original Cyclops was used for moving things and tearing down buildings, The Cyclops 2 [Mech in the middle of H4 map] which was a huge jump in design, with chain guns, missiles, and a much larger scale. Finally the Mantis, currently the UNSC’s go-to mech for engagements. Now is it possible there is A company of soldiers specialized in driving these vehicles? Something MechWarrior-ish. My thought is that these units could be used for defense of infinity, traversing rocky terrain, or, in a worst case scenario, Defending against a flood outbreak. Mechs being a very versatile from of machine, I’m surprised the covenant didn’t have more.
Thoughts? Maybe we’ll see one in a future game. Who knows?
