The '''Brokkr Armor Mechanism''' is a 'Da Vinci' multi-axis assembly system produced by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Materials Group]]. Brokkr mechanisms are used to mount [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] to [[Spartan]]s' techsuits, as well as to remove it.<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 128''</ref>

==Overview==
[[File:HM-BROKKR.png|thumb|250px|A labelled diagram of the Brokkr mechanism in ''[[Halo Mythos]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}}]]
===Design details===
Brokkrs take the form of a multi-axis assembly, constructed in a fashion similar to Leonardo Da Vinci's [[Wikipedia:Vitruvian Man|Vitruvian Man]] illustration, or an aerotrim. The central Mark IX Cambered Gyro Mount contains handles and footholds for the Spartan to stand inside, with a backrest to lean on. The gyro ring is attached to the ceiling via way of a R7-F35 Raised Dual-Ring Mooring and a Reactive Spindle Canopy, resulting in the assembly being able to lean back while in use.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} In total, the mechanism is capable of holding the full mass of a Spartan supersoldier and their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] or [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}}{{Ref/Game|Id=S3|HINF|Site Unseen}}
 
To assemble and disassemble armour, the mechanism has two utility actuator arms mounted to the R7-F35 mooring, with powered multi-tools capable of grabbing and manipulating individual armour pieces. The base of the mechanism contains storage for MJOLNIR power packs.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}}
 
===Usage===
Brokkrs are used to assist the Spartan deployments assigned to {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and [[ANVIL Station]]. A mechanism was also situated at the ONI facility at the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]], and was used in the [[MIRAGE-class Mjolnir|MIRAGE IIC]] program.{{Ref/Reuse|S3}}

*The mechanism's operation is reminiscent of the way [[Wikipedia:Iron Man|Iron Man]] dons his armor in the [[Wikipedia:Marvel Cinematic Universe|Marvel Cinematic Universe]], as well as the method by which [[Starcraft:Tychus Findlay|Tychus Findlay]] receives his armor in ''[[Starcraft:Starcraft II|Starcraft II]]''.
*"'Da Vinci' multi-axis alludes to the way Spartans' limbs are splayed out while the mechanism is in operation, resembling Leonardo Da Vinci's [[Wikipedia:Vitruvian Man|Vitruvian Man]].
