:The only major problem with this theory is that John still retains the battle-damage/scar (one on his right chest) from the previous title. If Cortana had indeed upgraded his armour as you theorised, then that battle-damage/scar should've been fixed. A worthy attempt but as it is, I think canon cannot explain this. However, we could interpret from a development/production POV that this is how 343i views the Halo Universe (rather than how Bungie views the Halo Universe) from their perspective, that this is how the MJOLNIR Mk VI looks like in their perspective. In other words, retcon... but not really a problem since we've faced even major retcons before (best example being the designs of the Elites throughout the entire franchise, from the skinny-Brute-ish ones in Halo Wars and the chicken/Jackal-legs in Reach to the not-that-menacing-like-in-Halo2 in Halo 3 as a number of fans have criticised since) without much canon explanation. Time will tell. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 07:23, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

::Hmm, I looked at every picture I could find, and all of them seem to Have the final, in-game model for Cheif covering the scar-spot Sith the butt of his BR, so how would we even know if it's still there? [[User talk:Infernal-Blaze|Infernal-Blaze]] 23:16, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Ah...well said, Subtank. Now that I think about it, many past interviews that relate to this topic have put a very strong emphasis on the artistic and out-of-fiction context of John-117 and his redesigned armor. That seems to have been a favorite topic of those who have been interviewed. From an artistic and presentation point of view, what you are saying is indeed correct. You are also correct in saying that there are still things that we do not know, and that time will tell.
