This can be seen on Uprising and The Great Journey. In the ending cutscene of Uprising, two Phantoms have their turrets folded in (one goes to drop off Tartarus with Miranda and the other goes to the bridge). Halfway through The Great Journey, you see the Phantom at the bridge with its turrets out. | ||
*In the [[E3]] 2003 Preview of ''Halo 2'', the Phantom does not have a gravity lift and the troops are instead dropped off from the back. The Phantom is also capable of carrying a Spectre or a Wraith by using hooks located under its "belly". It also seemed to have only one Plasma Cannon. | |||
*It was noticeable that the [[Brute Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] spent most of his time pursuing the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] in a Phantom throughout ''Halo 2''. The ship's ability to travel through space made it invaluable to the Covenant's strike teams when engaging the [[Heretics]] and Flood as they sought to uncover the mysteries of Halo. | |||
*In ''Halo 3'', the Phantoms used by the Arbiter and his Elites vanish right after taking off in the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]. This might indicate that the Phantoms have technology on board capable of cloaking the entire ship. Players can also enter this Phantom and walk around, but will fall to their death as the ship disappears. | |||
*On ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Campaign level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]], once on board the Phantom in single player where the Arbiter and [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] leave, if you kill an [[Elite]] manning a Plasma Cannon, you can get on the turret. Then, when it flies away and cloaks, you will also cloak with it and not fall to your death. Dismounting or detaching the turret will decloak you, causing you to fall through the ship. | |||
*In ''Halo 3'' it takes the same amount of hits from a Scorpion to destroy both a Phantom and a Wraith - about four hits on [[Normal]]. | |||
*In Campaign Scoring charts, it counts as both a "Heavy" and a "Giant" vehicle. | |||
*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', when you destroy the Heavy Plasma Cannon, in some cases, you will receive the "[[Used Car Salesman]]" achievement. | |||
*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', if you destroy a Separatist Phantom, it will emit a green gas instead of the purple from the [[Covenant]] counterparts. | |||
*A Phantom has never been known to have been taken over by the [[Flood]], although the [[UNSC]]'s Pelican has in ''[[Halo 2]]'', and the Spirit has in the [[Halo Graphic Novel]]. | |||
*In the [[Keep It Clean (Trailer)|trailer]] for ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', a Phantom is seen on patrol using two bright searchlights to sweep the streets. Oddly, the lights are located in the exact location as the Phantom's chin mounted gun, possibly meaning that this Phantom was specifically adapted for patrol or that its gun had a headlight mounted alongside it. In the cutscene where the Rookie receives a transmission from Dare, the Phantom that passes by have a searchlight mounted on the front turret. The headlight also appears in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. | |||
*Oddly enough, in the ''Halo 3'' E3 trailer, the Phantom seen makes the sound of a [[Hunter]] charging its [[Assault Cannon]], or a [[Scarab]] in ''Halo 3'' right before the final explosion it makes when destroyed. | |||
*In the E3 trailer the rear is open suggesting it was meant to have a rear door. This was later cut from the Halo 2 and in Halo 3 it was replaced with side doors. | |||
*While it was originally suggested that the Phantom replaced the Spirit, this appears to be false due to ''Halo Wars: Genesis'' and the fact that both the Spirit and Phantom appear in ''Reach''. The appearance of both of them in ''Reach'' may mean that the Phantom and Spirit have different functions than one another despite both being troop transports. It's also possible that the Spirit was slowly being phased out of service. It has been suggested that perhaps the fleet that attacked [[Reach]] was equipped with prototype Phantoms, or conversely, that the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] from [[Installation 04]] had yet to replace their Spirits with Phantoms. | |||
**It may also be that Phantoms are used as more of a gunship while Spirits are mostly used as transports despite both of them carrying troops and being armed. | |||
*When a Wraith is being carried, it is invincible until dropped (except in [[Halo 2]]). This is best seen in the [[Halo 3: ODST]] mission, ''[[ONI Alpha Site]]''. When the Phantoms comes around for the second wave, the player can fire his Spartan Laser at the Wraiths they carry. The Wraith can take 4 to 5 shots without being scratched until dropped. | |||
*In [[The Art of Halo]], there is a Halo 2 Phantom render that has its side doors down and has heavy plasma turrets on them. | |||
*In the [[Halo Legends]] short film, ''[[Prototype]]'', a Phantom is seen carrying a Wraith ''inside'' its troop bay, as oppose to hovering below it. | |||
