Thom-A293: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

*His name and service tag may be a reference to [[Tom-B292]], another SPARTAN-III.

*In the ''Deliver Hope'' trailer, Thom is seen wearing a gray [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]] with jetpack and a [[Mark V(B) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark V[B]]] helmet with the [[External Hardened Uplink|HUL]] and the CNM attachments, and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/FJ/PARA variant|FJ/PARA]] knee guards. It is possible that Bungie's image of Noble Six is based on Thom or vice versa.

*Thom was originally intended to play a larger role in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' as a member of Noble Team, and was described to be "cowboy-like", but like [[Rosenda~~-344|SPARTAN~~-344]], was ultimately cut from the game and only mentioned in the [[Noble Team performance reports]] as a ~~former~~ now-deceased member.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aOb6Nn8egA '''Youtube''': ''PAX 2010: *Bungie Panel*''] ([[Marcus Lehto]]: ''"And yes, originally, there were seven ~~Spartans~~. A little trivia for you guys; Rosenda and Thom were two Spartans that didn't make the cut..."'')</ref>

*The ~~way he died~~, ~~which was~~ ensuring the detonation of a bomb within a Covenant ship, is ~~virtually identical~~ to the ~~way~~ [[~~Sam~~-034]] ~~(the first SPARTAN to die against the Covenant) died~~. ~~Though there were key differences between the two. Sam was forced~~ to ~~stay due to a puncture in his suit~~, ~~while Thom simply didn't exit~~ the ~~ship in time~~.

*The manner of Thom's death, ensuring the detonation of a bomb within a Covenant ship, is remarkably similar to the deaths of [[Samuel-034]] and [[Jorge-052]].

*An early concept image of Thom's face bears a remarkable resemblace to [[Jason Jones]], one of the co-founders of [[Bungie]].
