Saw this concept art the other day and the full armor Spartan made me think of the latest generation of the Spartans being more tank in nature, rather than the slender design they went with, I also think it would contrast well with the slimmed down 3’s in the SPI and the Spartan 2’s being all-rounders, (think the humans answer to the Brutes)
(See the far right Spartan)
P.s can someone do the thing

well based off that image the big one wouldn’t actually be able to move much as the shoulder plates would collide with is chest piece.

Well if you imagine it being a bit lower and wider like Jorges for example then there shouldn’t be an issue, regardless it doesn’t take away from the concept
Concept art is often that, a concept, its playing around with ideas to see what works. Most released concept art tends to be closer to the finished product, but that’s not always the case. Both from a movement point of view, and with the canonical strength of plasma weapons, a lightly armored design that’s nimble makes more sense.

I guess so, but like I said before, the brutes are faster than both Spartans and elites, so that could be an interesting avenue, heavy but fast, again it’s easy to forget that big bulky Jorge, being a Spartan 2, despite it not being shown in reach, would be as fast as any other spartan, which is fast

Where did you get that from?
Atlas armor.

In halo first strike there is a part about a brute moving faster than the elites and as fast as John, who may be arguably faster than the IVs, being a mature 2 and all that, but anyway it’s not clear on their reflexes but brutes are in fact very fast

Well yes I guess the lore attached would show that the idea has warranted attention from 343
I actually like that the IVs have a slimmer appearance overall. The IIs tend to wear much bulkier armour, which comes across as older. Look at the Mark VI from 2 and 3 compared to the Mark V from CE and Reach. Its much slimmer and far more form fitting. It makes it look more advanced. If the IVs were any bulkier than that I think it would be a little odd.

IVs can out run a horse without help from mjolnir
I would assume that with increasingly better shield tech the weight and bulk of the underlying armor would decrease.

Not saying IVs are slow, just saying a brute could keep up

Yes I guess so, but like someone pointed out, the atlas armor is pretty hefty, like twice as big as gen1 mkVI and has a similar concept to what I was pointing out, a Spartan tank, thinking if it was more of a heavily specialized Spartan subgroup it would make more sense
I’m not sure how militarily useful this would be. It would make a larger target, and typically that would increase casualties. No matter how much armor is added wouldn’t make up for what they could avoid with speed.
I’ve got a flaw with your theory
read the beginning battle of ghost of onyx where alpha Spartan III’s went against elites in hand to hand combat, wearing nothing but Gen 1 SPI armor, they destroyed the elites so quick that the elites couldn’t keep up.
Looks a bit chunky and cumbersome.

Which theory?
On a side note, wish there were more moments like that in current halo, GoO was epic
