:Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Though logically since it's called Mark III, then there must have been two prototype iterations before that. Maybe the place where this is being constructed was abandoned long before the Human-Covenant War and they never finished the Mark II and chose instead to move on to the Mark III. Weird.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} | :Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Though logically since it's called Mark III, then there must have been two prototype iterations before that.

:::Exactly. It stands to reason they abandoned the "Mark III" designation after they began developing the Cyclops as a new series of its own, despite its beginnings as an offshoot of the pre-MJOLNIR exoskeletons. Designating the second-generation Cyclops as Mark IV would've overlapped with the MJOLNIR family Mark system. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 07:17, 6 March 2012 (EST) | :::Exactly.

Is this, or is this not a Cyclops Mark II? It looks like it might be one, albeit probably a different variant of it. People keep removing it thinking it isn't one. I thought we would just keep it here in the article's image gallery section until we have more information as to what it truly is. So if it's okay with everybody else, for the time being, I'm gonna put it back where it belongs for now, until we have more information. By the way, it looks like it's in Warhouse, but I cannot be completely certain. But until we know for sure, shall we just keep it where it is for now? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 08:25, 5 August 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330 | Is this, or is this not a Cyclops Mark II?

::::::Per ''Subtank''- It does have similar features to the Cyclops but its just smaller & different. As long as the image doesn't directly state that it is a Cyclops Mk.

==Mantis== | |||
This article in Halo Destiny confirms that the name of the Cyclops Mark II is the Mantis and it will be playable in H4 campaign: [http://www.halodestiny.net/news-2184-mode-infection-flood-multijoueurs-scan-de-l-oxm-france.html#skip] {{Unsigned|Dr Mutran}} | |||
No, the one on adrift is the Cyclops Mark II while the one in campaign is the Mantis. They are two different mechs like I have been saying all along.[[User talk:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 14:43, 21 September 2012 (EDT) | |||
No the Mech in Adrift is the Mantis. You only have to compare the pictures to see that they are the exact same design (and teh Cyclops in Halo Wars is a completely different looking mech). Yes in early footage of Halo 4 it was called Cyclops II, but the probable reasoning for this is that at that time the development team had not come up with a name yet. [[User talk:VARGR|VARGR]] 13:43, 17 October 2012 (EDT) | |||
They're very similar, but not the same - look closely at the photos of each vehicle, the Mantis has a differently-shaped missile pod and lighter overall build. [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 15:02, 17 October 2012 (EDT) | |||
== Rename == | |||
Now that the latest Waypoint update has confirmed that both the campaign and multiplayer mechs are variants of the Mantis, the campaign model with a heavier payload and the multiplayer model having a lither one, we should merge this article into the Mantis page. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[User:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 18:13, 18 October 2012 (EDT) | |||

*<s>{{Support}} - I can't get on Meta Cafe, but did any 343 employee ever mention that the Mech in the middle of Adrift is a Cyclops? In [[Making Halo 4: First Look|''First Look'']], Brad Welch called it a "giant mech". Compare [[:File:H4 Mantis in Ragnarok.jpg|this image of the "Mantis"]] and [[:File:Cyclops mark II.jpg|this image of the "Cyclops"]], and you can see a similar set of weapons, a similar cockpit, with the most different part being the protrusion under the torso (bear in mind that the "Cyclops" is still under construction, and it is an early development screenshot). —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 21:39, 18 October 2012 (EDT)</s> | |||

*{{Oppose}} - ??? They were referring to two different variants of the "Mantis". Nothing was mentioned about the Cyclops Mk. II being one of those two variants.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 18:27, 18 October 2012 (EDT) | |||
*{{Oppose}} - The Mantis variants are physically the same, and there was no mention of Cyclops Mark II as one of the variants. For me, the Cyclops Mark II was a AFV prototype that was never completed. --[[User talk:Dr Mutran|Dr Mutran]] 18:41, 18 October 2012 (EDT) | |||

:Alright thanks then. Where I live, we don't get any Metacafe. So much appreciated. Maybe Frankie was lying, or the Mantis was originally called the Cyclops Mark II like work-in-progress name...

::Is it a block on the website or something that you're experiencing? As far as Frankie goes, its too much of a mouthfull to change it to a Mantis afterwards. Also its not much of an importance to have some temporary code name; its more-so a level prop.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 13:36, 19 October 2012 (EDT) | |||
