The Forerunners also constructed [[Automated Turret|Automated Turrets]] that fire blue beams similar to those of sentinel majors. These turrets themselves resemble stripped-down sentinels, and hover in mid-air, tracking enemy targets, but are otherwise immobile. | The Forerunners also constructed [[Automated Turret|Automated Turrets]] that fire blue beams similar to those of sentinel majors.

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]] displayed this ability in [[Floodgate]] and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]''<ref>''Halo'' (''Halo 3'' Level)</ref>. The weapon was capable of draining the shields of a Spartan-II in one blast and mortally wounding Sergeant Major Avery Johnson. 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 | 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.

It could simply be that it was not equipped with one, although it is possible the Monitor attacked the Gravemind every chance he got, explaining his red "eye". 2401 Penitent Tangent probably never inflicted severe damage to the Gravemind, given its size and power. | ||
