Would love to but beam trolls me on all my devices. Still glad to see the mans back in the saddle.
Ske7ch described Mantis as being akin to the Warthog. It also gets a unit called Colossus (bigger mech), which is either a new unit or replacement for Scorpion.
Johnson gets a mech suit similar to Prototype from Halo Legends. Leader powers are likely to include EMP Mac Blast, a deployable garrison (which allies can use) and abilities to enhance mech units.
Mantis replaces Warthog
Colossus replaces Tank
Both are mechs
Johnson has an invulnerability leader power called Mech Overcharge that gives them speed boost and invulnerability for a short period of time.
Digging In is an amazing leader power, all I’m saying. Incredible for your economy!!
Needs more sass

Yeah that’s going to be crazy as -Yoink-. Ske7ch said at the end of the stream that the season resets on Monday so it’s possible that’s when we will get to play Johnson

Or that last minute stand! Top tier.
So is Sgt. Johnson not dead now? Does anyone have any details behind this?
Ultimate abilities are Combat Salvage and Digging in where EVERY BUILDING IS FREE. You still have to pay for your base and upgrades, but you can put down supply pads, generators, or anything under the sun for free.
Did ske7ch mention anything about uploading the stream anywhere? I wasn’t able to watch because Beam won’t work on my ol iPhone… Was really hyped up to watch… 
My initial impression is that Johnson will be the anti-rush leader and the best turtler. Just think, his passive buffing turrets and bunkers, with Restoration Drones at level one? Sign me up!

Yeah its not cannon like Sgt Forge both are dead but just for the laughs they made them leaders. In Halo cannon both are well and truly brown bread.

Well, if you think about it, Johnson was “killed” on the Ark, ONI conspiracy???

He is still dead.
I was a little disappointed it wasn’t David Scully but to be honest I wouldn’t of known. 343 did a good job and so did the actor replacing him.

A single building to clarify.

No.
Not a single building.
Every building you purchase for every base on every slot is free…

Will have to wait to see, because I’m fairly positive it said a base building and not every building for free unless you want to wait for the cooldown? It’s also the last leader power tier at which point a player should already have a fully built up base, yeah?
