The '''Flood Transport Form''', also known as the '''Sweeper''', was a [[The Flood|Flood]] [[Flood pure form|Pure Form]].<ref>''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'', page 27</ref> Unlike the [[Flood carrier form|Carrier Form]], which carries and incubates [[Pod infector|Infection Forms]], the transport would carry a maximum of six unarmed [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]] to a particular destination.

==Background==

===Physical Description & Physiology===
The sweeper would have had four triple-jointed limbs to move its load of troops around, and featured numerous tentacles to consume or recycle biomass, dead or alive. The sweeper also boasted a biomass re-processor that converted recently-consumed biomass into rapid-growth embryos or [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]].

===Biomass Conversion===
Before the Sweeper, or Transport Form, released its cargo, it would pass four steps, specifically:

#The Sweeper would pick up and collect any available biomass with its tentacles, whether an already assimilated Flood entity, or a sentient being.
#The biomass was then put inside of the Sweeper, and consumed for internal recycling.
#When enough biomass was consumed and processed, the Sweeper's [[flood blister|blisters]] would begin to form and then proceed to grow within the creature.
#The Sweeper would then cough up and shoot the blister into the air.

==Trivia==
*This was seen in ''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'', though it was cut from the final version of ''[[Halo 3]]''.
*The transport form may have inspired the Flood [[Flood stalker form|Stalker Form]], as the body shape is similar between the two.
