Talk:PRO-49776

Different Type of UNSC Prowler?
I don't know if everyone feels the same, but after seeing Halo Legends: The Package and The Mona Lisa on Halo Waypoint, it seems to me that aesthetically speaking, the UNSC Prowler Red Horse and ONI PRO-49776 looks almost identical to each other. And according to the UNSC Prowler article, prowlers are equipped with stealth ablative coating, which of course doubles as a kind of active camouflage (which is pretty much is in itself a kind of cloaking field device), which is, I believe, exactly what this ship has, and also is armed with a so-called "unknown" directed energy weapon system, which I believe is a variant of the pulse laser turret, which prowlers also have. Therefore, I strongly believe that this has to be a kind of prowler. If anyone agrees or disagrees, please present information on the how and why, or whatever data is relevant.

 * In terms of relevant data, we have Frankie's comment stating it's not a prowler. However, it's true there's definitely a resemblance, and the "PRO" in the serial number would seem to suggest it's a prowler, but since Frankie confirmed otherwise, we can't just go and contradict him unless a future canon source (or 343i employee) identifies the ship as a prowler. As for the camouflage, it's definitely not a conventional prowler cloaking system - the stealth coating on normal prowlers is merely based on photoreactive panel surfaces while this ship has a some sort of energy field that bends light, much like Covenant active camo. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 17:08, 27 August 2011 (EDT)


 * Okay. I will accept that, since it's coming from a former Bungie employee, now the 343i director Frank O'Connor, though I still think it should be otherwise. But that's just my opinion. But what about the so-called "unknown" directed energy weapons it had? Is there any available information on that? Xamikaze330 17:16, 27 August 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

We do know that Prowlers at least are armed with pulse lasers - I would say that's probably what they are, just represented with a heavy dose of artistic license. Same goes for the active-camo technology SPARTAN-347 18:53, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
