Introduced in [[2510]],<ref name="guide">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 44''</ref> the Mark III incorporated a wireless power transmitter and receiver so that power could be transmitted directly to it, much like the [[orbital defense platform]]s used to defend UEG colonies. This design was quickly rejected for two reasons: first, the armor still had a limited operational range as it had to remain within range of a bulky, immobile [[generator]].{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} Second, if the generator was disabled or destroyed, the suit would be disabled, leaving its user trapped inside a useless shell, helpless against enemy attacks.{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} In the end, all of the first three prototypes had one thing in common: It was impractical on the battlefield, as its range was severely limited by the lack of a mobile power source.{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} | Introduced in [[2510]],<ref name="guide">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 44''</ref> the Mark III incorporated a wireless power transmitter and receiver so that power could be transmitted directly to it, much like the [[orbital defense platform]]s used to defend UEG colonies.
