In the new Halo Encyclopedia, we get a look at the Spartans of the Ferret team. Olivia and Ash have SPI armor but Mark looks like he’s wearing a hybrid of Mark IV and SPI. Even in 2017’s Halo Mythos, he’s wearing what looks like Mjolnir armor but was it ever said that any of them upgraded to Mjolnir?
Didnt spi get intergrated into the gen2 platform like odst?
Mirage did, I think normal SPI is its own thing, as a stand alone armor kit for non-augmented personel, like Lopis.
From what we do know, SPI had 2 iterations before presumably being integrated into Mjolnir (just like ODST BDUs). Mark I SPI, and Mark II SPI (very creative naming conventions). I presume Mark II had a few variants as if we look at the Headhunter short story, at least the animated version Roland and Jonah wore different variations (appearance-wise). It’s not too outlandish to presume Mark had SPI armour that was designed for Marksman and Sniper Spartan-III units.
