During the early concept phase, [[343 Industries]] considered implementing the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Exoskeleton|HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I powered exoskeleton]] from the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short ''[[Prototype]]''. Later concepts derived from this design featured a larger exoskeleton that would cover the wearer's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]. Designing the Mantis required months of playtesting, much of which involved tweaking the speed of the "stomp" move. One of the biggest concerns was making it clear when a player is reloading the Mantis' weapons; originally, the Mantis held its arms forward as the weapons were reloaded. Due to playtesters' feedback, the animation was changed so that the mech lifts its arms when new ammunition is being fed.{{Ref/Reuse|THB 10.17.12}} | During the early concept phase, [[343 Industries]] considered implementing the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Exoskeleton|HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I powered exoskeleton]] from the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short ''[[Prototype]]''.
