When initially conceived, the [[Mantis]] was heavily inspired by the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS|Mark I ADS]] from the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short, ''[[Prototype]]''. This armoured exoskeleton was initially concieved to fit numerous roles, mechanics and shapes alongside featuring a dedicated shield. This early Mantis also had the ability to use a jetpack, thrusters and a [[railgun]], and an early prototype was developed which consisted of Master Chief riding inside and driving a larger Master Chief.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-101712-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 10.17.12|D=12|M=10|Y=2014}} This later evolved into a full mech, though remnants of this early idea could be seen in some concept art and early models which featured booster-like jets on the shoulders. These boosters can be viewed in-game, via the Mantis holograms on the [[Dominion]] vehicle spawn pads. | When initially conceived, the [[Mantis]] was heavily inspired by the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS|Mark I ADS]] from the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short, ''[[Prototype]]''.

The Revenant has seen a major redesign since its iteration in ''Reach'', with the vehicle as a whole being generally bulkier and up-armoured compared to the original version. Instead of the driver controlling a light [[plasma mortar]], the vehicle now has an automatic [[plasma turret]] in the back which can be manned by an independent gunner - making the vehicle more akin to the [[Wuzum-pattern Spectre|Spectre]] or [[Warthog]].{{Ref/YouTube|KXzYKQZDrpM|Gamecheat13|Halo 4 - The Revenant and Disintegrator}} | The Revenant has seen a major redesign since its iteration in ''Reach'', with the vehicle as a whole being generally bulkier and up-armoured compared to the original version.
