 ===Specifications===
-This variant was a test bed for incorporating [[energy shielding]] technology with the MJOLNIR program. The helmet features an up-armored configuration with heads-up software that adjusts to combat situations that improves the user's performance and suitability. The shoulder pauldrons for this armor set are categorized as "blast-guard pauldrons".{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

 ===Development history===
-It was introduced in around [[2535]], ten years after the first version of MJOLNIR entered service. It was based on a design that originated from the first prototypes of the Mark IV helmet, one that was upgraded to withstand violent concussive force.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs and is compatible with later models such as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]].

This implicitly refers to Red Team, as the Grenadier variant did not enter service until 2535.}}
+The Mark IV [G] prototype{{Ref/Note|Although the ''Halo: Reach'' Armory consistently describes the [G] variant ''itself'' as a prototype, ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' makes no mention of this, instead stating that GRENADIER is ''derived from'' a Mark IV prototype. While the book's description may stem from a misinterpretation of the original source, both are represented in this article since they do not contradict one another.}} was introduced just over a decade after Mjolnir entered service.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} Intended to provide additional protection from concussive force, the Mark IV [G] helmet's architecture is an up-armored derivation of a likewise prototypical Mark IV design.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs; it is compatible with later models such as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]].

 After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Grenadier suit. This led to the creation of the [[INDOMITABLE-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF:Noble|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder 5/6/2016: Noble Intentions}}

-The Grenadier helmet bears a striking resemblance to [[:File:Halo Wars - Mark IV.png|an early design]] of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV]] that was removed from ''[[Halo Wars]]''. It also resembles [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Unknown Mark IV suit|the Mark IV armor]] worn by [[Gray Team]] as seen on the cover of ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''.
