The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V[B] variant | The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/B variant''' refers to two distinct sub-models of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], created for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] generations.{{Ref/Site|id=HWFred|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/frederic-104|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Frederic-104}} The latter iteration of the [B] variant served as the initial production model of the Mark V MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc|Enc11|Page=94}} | ||

While its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV[B], the Mark V[B] was the first mainline model of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] to incorporate [[energy shielding]] technology.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012910|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10|D=15|M=01|Y=2021}} The Mark V[B] is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V. The only major difference between the two is the [B] variant's lack of an accompanying upgrade to the wearer's [[neural interface|neural lace]] enabling the wearer to interface with a [[smart AI]]. This did not come to fruition until [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] successfully tested the final Mark V on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=enc}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=119}} | |||

Because the Mark V[B] helmet was not used outside SPECWAR Group Three, the standard helmet worn with the Mark V[B] was instead based on the architecture of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] model.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Armory}} This would later be used as the basis of the final iteration of the Mark V helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} | Because the Mark V[B] helmet was not used outside SPECWAR Group Three, the standard helmet worn with the Mark V[B] was instead based on the architecture of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Initial production model|original Mark IV]] model.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Armory}} This would later be used as the basis of the final iteration of the Mark V helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} | ||
