With an overall design similar to that of other [[Strato-Sentinel]]s like the [[Steward Sentinel]], the Assembler Sentinel consists of a vaguely disc-shaped, ovoid body with three central luminous ocular sensor "eyes."{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Some Assembler Sentinels incorporate tower-like protrusions at the edges of its upper surface,{{Ref/Comic|Id=CoL|H3CoL}} while others do not.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|CoL}}{{Ref/Film|Id=Origins|HLeg|Episode=Origins}} Beneath the Assembler's large body hangs several [[gravitic]] [[grappler]] appendages. Alongside these grapplers, Assemblers also feature integrated [[energy shielding]] and warship-grade [[Directed-energy weapon|directed-energy projectors]] for defense.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


===Operation===
Though they are not designed for combat, they will suspend their primary duties to engage [[Flood]] forms in the event of an outbreak.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=167}}

During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], Assemblers were sometimes used in an offensive role against the [[Flood]], using their gravitic [[grappler]]s against the parasite in a limited offensive capacity.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Toward the war's end, Assemblers were used to construct the [[Portal at Voi]] on [[Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|CoL}}

The [[Foundry]] of [[Installation 00]] is populated by numerous Assemblers, as well as Retrievers. While the Retrievers extract resources and minerals from the small [[moon]] held there, the Assemblers use the materials to build components of the [[Halo Array]] and to repair the Ark, if required.{{Ref/Reuse|foundry}}{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[Phoenix Log]] - Forerunner Sentinels}} Assemblers were used alongside [[Extractor Sentinel]]s to construct [[Installation 08]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=343}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=356}}
