M8 Wolf Spider

The M8 Automated Defense System, nicknamed the Wolf Spider, was an automated defense turret utilized by the UNSC. During the Fall of Reach, four Wolf Spiders were deployed around Dr. Catherine Halsey's lab in the Babd Catha Forerunner Complex.

Overview
Wolf Spiders had to shut down to recharge energy after they became too damaged, requiring a manual reactivation after they finished recharging. They could be linked to a heads up display that would display their remaining health, much like a generator in Generator Defense. They have the approximate firepower of the Falcon's auto cannon on normal.

Trivia

 * The turret's firing sound is the same as the Falcon's Autocannon and also seems to fire in bursts. This may indicate that the guns are related or that both use a different variant of the Autocannon.
