Template:Article Quote RECRUIT-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2) manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and Materials Group. It is the standard armor for all newly recruited SPARTAN-IV personnel.[2][3]

Overview

The reactor is covered by a "Class-A hardened reactor case". The shoulders are called "Common solid-plate pauldrons". There is a power conduit on the cuisse. The feet have segmented plates to increase mobility. The armor is designed to cope with the strain and duress experienced by newly augmented Spartan-IV.[1]

The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard UNSC Infinity consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.[note 1] Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.

Development History

The majority of the Recruit variants were manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and tested at WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka. Both the forearms and greaves were manufactured by the Materials Group, with the forearms tested at FFG-045's combat lab, and the greaves manufactured on Chi Ceti IV.[2] Testing for the GEN2 version was swiftly done, as by January 2553 a copy of the armor was onboard the UNSC Infinity.[4]

Decades of combat experience with Mjolnir suits informed the design and electronics hardware architecture of the RECRUIT helmet.[3]

Skins

The Prime skin is part of the Infinity Actual Kit recommended for Spartan-IV first contact and asymmetrical operations.[5]

Usage

Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.[2] The armor's performance consistency raises eyebrows among the more experienced Spartans, however, and despite its popularity, many Spartan-IVs opt to diversify the armor with other variants.[1]

Spartans in the Recruit variant armor were sold as toys. One child had painted his Recruit Spartan action figure to resemble the Master Chief.[6]

Note

  1. ^ All SPARTAN-IV NPCs encountered in Halo 4 (both in the campaign and in Spartan Ops) wear Recruit armor with the aforementioned color scheme. Jared Miller of the ship's Spartan Command also wears Recruit armor with this color scheme in Spartan Ops' prerendered "talking head" vignettes.
