File:Covenant assault - Aftermath.png|John-117 wearing the non-canonical Mark IV design from ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Prologue]].{{Ref/Note|[[Josh Holmes]] has [https://web.archive.org/web/20160413032116/https://twitter.com/JoshingtonState/status/474224115608731650 confirmed] that the use of John-117's unique Mark VI model to represent the Mark IV in ''Halo 4'''s Prologue cinematic is not canon. The geometry was recycled because the production team did not have time to create a unique Mark IV model that would have only seconds of screen time. ''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' notes that John's upgraded Mark VI suit resembles an earlier Mark IV line (likely as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the cutscene), though this does not mean that the two designs are canonically identical. The cutscene uses the same model to represent the Mark V suit John canonically wore when he met [[Cortana]], further invalidating its canonicity.}} | File:Covenant assault - Aftermath.png|John-117 wearing the non-canonical Mark IV design from ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Prologue]].{{Ref/Note|[[Josh Holmes]] has [https://web.archive.org/web/20160413032116/https://twitter.com/JoshingtonState/status/474224115608731650 confirmed] that the use of John-117's unique Mark VI model to represent the Mark IV in ''Halo 4'''s Prologue cinematic is not canon.
