The Flood Transport Form, also known as the Sweeper, was a Flood Pure Form[1]. Unlike the Carrier Form, which carries and incubates Infection Forms, the transport would carry a maximum of six unarmed Combat Forms to a particular destination.
Background
Physical Description & Physiology
The sweeper would have had four triple-jointed limbs to move its load of troops around, and featured numerous tentacles to consume or recycle biomass, dead or alive. The sweeper also boasted a biomass re-processor that converted recently-consumed biomass into rapid-growth embryos or Combat Forms.
Biomass Conversion
Before the Sweeper, or Transport Form, released its cargo, it would pass four steps, specifically:
- The Sweeper would pick up and collect any available biomass with its tentacles, whether an already assimilated Flood entity, or a sentient being.
- The biomass was then put inside of the Sweeper, and consumed for internal recycling.
- When enough biomass was consumed and processed, the Sweeper's growth pods would begin to form and then proceed to grow within the creature.
- The Sweeper would then cough up and shoot the growth pod into the air.
Trivia
- This was seen in The Art of Halo 3, though it was cut from the final version of Halo 3.
- The transport form may have inspired the Flood Stalker Form, as the body shape is similar between the two.
