Talk:HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) Geyrion

The original Cyclops is called the HRUNTING Mark III. Logically, wouldn't this be a Mark IV or higher? -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 00:10, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Though logically since it's called Mark III, then there must have been two prototype iterations before that. Maybe the place where this is being constructed was abandoned long before the Human-Covenant War and they never finished the Mark II and chose instead to move on to the Mark III. Weird.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs}

I thought of the same thing. Could it be that they "re-branded" the Mk. III exoskeleton as the Mark I Cyclops later on, somewhat like they introduced the Mark system to the MJOLNIR series? That, or what Spartacus said. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:31, 6 March 2012 (EST)

My guess would be your suggestion. Like the retroactive redesignation of the ORION soldiers as first-generation Spartans. -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 00:40, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Exactly. It stands to reason they abandoned the "Mark III" designation after they began developing the Cyclops as a new series of its own, despite its beginnings as an offshoot of the pre-MJOLNIR exoskeletons. Designating the second-generation Cyclops as Mark IV would've overlapped with the MJOLNIR family Mark system. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 07:17, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Has anyone considered that "Cyclops Mark II" could simply be an informal name, which was used in the showreel. -TheLostJedi 12:28, 7 March 2012 (EST)

Size

Judging by the SPARTANs running past it in the most recent trailer, the Mark II looks to be much larger than the Cyclops Mark I. Something to mention?--The All-knowing Sith'ari 15:20, 6 March 2012 (EST)
