*In ''Halo Legends'', many elements are portrayed with considerable artistic license; as such, their visual appearances may not be considered canon. For example, in the episode ''Homecoming'', [[Daisy-023]] is depicted as wearing a helmet that resembles that of the MJOLNIR CQB variant during the [[Harvest Campaign]] in [[2531]]. However, the CQC variant, the precursor to the CQB variant, entered service in 2548 and was developed using feedback from the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], which occurred in 2535; thus, it is impossible for the CQB variant to have been in use seventeen years earlier. | *In ''Halo Legends'', many elements are portrayed with considerable artistic license; as such, their visual appearances may not be considered canon.

**The director's commentary for the episode reveals that the armor's appearance is largely an aesthetic concession to the studio to allow for some visual variety for the character, and as a nod towards multiplayer fans who use armor permutations, such as the CQC variant. The same is true for the armor's color, though this is also representative of an effort to camouflage the suit. This means that other than the suit's color, the armor's appearance is non-canon.<ref>'''Halo Legends:''' ''Homecoming'', director commentary.</ref> At the end of the episode, John-117 is depicted in a Mark IV suit that has greatly exaggerated features, more closely resembling the Mark VI; this is clearly another instance of non-canonical imagery. In contrast, a video on ''Halo Waypoint'' has revealed that the Mark IV suit featured in ''The Package'' is one of several variants, which, despite its appearance, shares its internal components with the rest of the Mark IV line.<ref name="way-mjol"/> | **The director's commentary for the episode reveals that the armor's appearance is largely an aesthetic concession to the studio to allow for some visual variety for the character, and as a nod towards multiplayer fans who use armor permutations, such as the CQC variant.

*The sketches of the limited-production Mark IV in [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|Doctor Halsey's journal]] are almost identical to [[:File:Masterchief sheik.png|an early concept]] for the MJOLNIR armor, apart from the helmet. | *The sketches of the limited-production Mark IV in [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|Doctor Halsey's journal]] are almost identical to [[:File:Masterchief sheik.png|an early concept]] for the MJOLNIR armor, apart from the helmet. | ||
