While HAYABUSA had different goals than its rival project, MJOLNIR, both programs resulted in powerful battle armor that boasted [[energy shields]]. It is unknown though whether or not the original version had energy shields. The HAYABUSA project was intended to develop self-contained power armor, and the project eventually culminated in the development of the Hayabusa Powered Assault Armor, which was developed by Facility [[RKD]] on [[Earth]] in the year [[2536]] and was accepted by the UNSC Ordnance Committee the same year. | While HAYABUSA had different goals than its rival project, MJOLNIR, both programs resulted in powerful battle armor that boasted [[energy shields]].

The Hayabusa Armor's advanced materials decreased its weighty bulk by one-third, and is aesthetically Japanese in design. The Armor was designed after Ancient Samurai and Ninja designs. It includes spiked shoulder pauldrons (correctly referred to as ''s'ode''). The purpose of the Japanese aesthetics was to instill fear in enemy soldiers while compensating for the armor's lack of defensive strength by angling the pieces to reduce ballistics penetration and providing a sleek, aerodynamic figure. | The Hayabusa Armor's advanced materials decreased its weighty bulk by one-third, and is aesthetically Japanese in design.

The helmet features | The helmet features 7 angular spikes, or spokes, one to each side and the face plate is fused into a single piece and contour. The spikes are another [[7]] reference. The top rear guard of the helmet is pointed, revealing the protruding spike. The bottom rear, around the neck forms a sort of neck guard, like that of a samurai helmet. The 7 spikes are always silver-white regardless of armor color. Clips can be seen on the side of the helmet. | ||
