==Trivia==
==Production notes==
In ''[[Halo Online]]'s'' pre-Alpha the [[Armor permutations (Halo Online)|BOXHEAD-class Mjolnir]] used this design for its armor.
In the pre-alpha build of ''[[Halo Online]]'', the [[Armor customization (Halo Online)|BOXHEAD-class Mjolnir]] reused the design of RANGER-class Mjolnir for its armor.
