The Colossus is | The Colossus is the largest and most powerful combat exoskeleton currently in UNSC service.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=146}} It is designed by [[Materials Group]] and manufactured by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] for the UNSC Army. It is relatively slow, but fitted with a devastating arsenal, capable of taking down almost any foe.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} It is fitted with a [[SVALINN Series 02 Interim Protective Kit]] (IPS), an [[energy shielding]] system that is the result of extensive research from captured alien technology.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

While the rail cannon can only target ground units, the Colossus makes up for this by being equipped with an [[M193LP autocannon|M193LP 20mm autocannon]], which has an all—environment engagement profile.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} However, these armaments are only the most common configuration of Colossus, as the vehicle has an entirely modular weapons hardpoint system.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
After upgrades, the Colossus can stomp with its legs, sending out a shockwave that stuns and damages enemy ground units.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||
===Development history=== | |||
The Colossus was developed by the Materials Group as part of the joint Armor Defense System (ADS) programs [[Project HRUNTING|HRUNTING]] and [[Project YGGDRASIL|YGGDRASIL]]. The walker was developed as part of the Mark II line of ADS, as a successor to the older [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) Geyrion]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF-OD}}{{Ref/Reuse|GrimTwitter}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CF-FNH|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/folks-need-heroes|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Folks Need Heroes|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|Id=scale|URL=http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-and-random-lore-chat/?page=311&tab=comments#comment-231813|Site=Halo Archive|Page=Canon Fodder and Random Lore Chat|Quote=Just to clarify, the Colossus isn't an exact 1:1 with the Adrift mech in H4, but is related enough to be an awesome homage.|Quotee=Jeff Easterling|D=30|M=04|Y=2018}} | |||

By [[2559|May 2559]], at least one Colossus was used by [[Sunray 1-1]] during [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]] in their efforts to halt [[Colony]]'s plan.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Not on My Watch}} | ||

Sergeant [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] claims to have acquired the materials for his Colossus units via the classic Marine Corps logistical expediency of 'borrowing' equipment that isn't nailed down [or couldn't be pried free], but his actual source for these machines is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, protected by shield generators and several tons of Titanium—A armor plating.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | Sergeant [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] claims to have acquired the materials for his Colossus units via the classic Marine Corps logistical expediency of 'borrowing' equipment that isn't nailed down [or couldn't be pried free], but his actual source for these machines is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, protected by shield generators and several tons of Titanium—A armor plating.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | ||
