A Mark II [D] aboard the freighter {{CAAShip|Heavy Burden}} serves as the centerpiece of the ''Halo 4'' multiplayer map [[Adrift]]. In an interview [[Frank O'Connor]] called the mech a "Cyclops Mark II", referring to the [[Cyclops]] from ''Halo Wars''.{{Ref/YouTube|6wYTo-g6OaU|gamesradararchive|Frank O'Connor Halo 4 Interview at Microsoft Spring Shocase 2012}} However, ''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' makes no mention of this name. Since "Cyclops" is merely a colloquialism for the [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|HRUNTING Mark III [B]]], itself derived from the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor#Prototype exoskeletons|third-generation exoskeleton]] that predated MJOLNIR, the "Cyclops Mark II" moniker was probably used only from a game-design perspective rather than having any canonical significance. | A Mark II [D] aboard the freighter {{CAAShip|Heavy Burden}} serves as the centerpiece of the ''Halo 4'' multiplayer map [[Adrift]].

In Greek mythology, [[Wikipedia:Geryon|Geryon]] is a large giant, and presumably the namesake of the Geyrion vehicle. It is unknown as to whether the Geyrion's name in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' is an intentional misspelling or a typo. | |||
