In "'[[Halo 2]]"' the node does not have legs, but it makes the same buzzing noise as the later titles up to Halo: Reach which suggests the sfx has been recycled a lot. Variants with the antenna not deployed are sparsely found aswell with one on uprising being in the brutes trophy room where the elite makes a remark that the weapons are worthless.
