The [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels of Onyx]] had significantly more powerful weaponry. They were described to be a sphere surrounded by three floating "booms", or small pieces of armor that had powerful energy shields that would suddenly "pop" into place in order to deflect objects moving at high velocities.<ref>''Halo: Ghost of Onyx''</ref> Their shields are not activated by slow-moving objects, such as rocks, which [[Team Saber]] used to destroy one of the Sentinels. Their energy weapons, described as a single golden beam that, although charged slowly, could melt straight through the armor of the Spartan-IIIs. The Onyx Sentinels also have the ability to combine energies, for different purposes, such as stronger combat abilities, or excavation purposes. Their powers are exponentially increased by this combination, and enough of them were able to combine to easily destroy two Covenant destroyers. However, the second Covenant Destroyer was caught off guard after a slipstream space jump, and the first one had its energy shields down. | The [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels of Onyx]] had significantly more powerful weaponry.

In [[Halo 3]], it seemed that even the [[Monitors]] had the ability to defend themselves against the Flood using a focused beam similar to the Sentinel's beam, but much more powerful. [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] showed this ability in ''[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]''<ref>''Halo'' (''Halo 3'' Level)</ref>. It is also quite odd and puzzling as to why [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] didn't use this ability against the Gravemind in ''[[Halo 2]]''. It is assumed that the Gravemind is likely to have damaged [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] when he captured the Monitor, disabling its beam weaponry. It could simply be that it was not equipped with one, or that the Monitor was corrupted by the Gravemind. Although, it is possible the [[2401 Penitent Tangent|Monitor]] attacked the Gravemind every chance he got, explaining his red "eye".
