'''WAR MASTER-class Mjolnir''' is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2]]] developed by [[Lethbridge Industrial]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|H4|[[Armor customization (Halo 4)|Armory]] description}}{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/9d4be5a8-4e5e-480e-a7f2-f5076408335d/war-master-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: War Master|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}}

==Overview==

===Specifications===

The WAR MASTER's neural interface was intentionally throttled after early testing showed inexperienced Spartans would dangerously overextend themselves in combat due to the euphoric side-effects.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5 Armory|H5G|[[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armory]] description}}

Followng the [[Shadow of Sundered Star|Didact]]'s [[New Phoenix Incident|attack]] on [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]], an [[Unidentified Spartan-IV]] employed this armor in a series of [[UNSC Tactical Simulator|tactical simulations]] recreating a number of historic battles.{{Ref/Game|HSS}} Later in [[2558]], Spartan [[To]] of [[Fireteam Jackknife]] employed the War Master armor during peace talks on [[Ealen IV]].{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=1}}{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=2}}{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=3}}

War Master was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an [[Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The armor has ONE available skin: Primal (PRML). As with all ''Halo 4'' armor, the skins were not included in the initial release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', though the release of ''Halo 4'' on PC and the start of [[Season 4: Reclaimer]] saw the skins added into the collection as default unlocks.

During the pre-alpha stages of ''[[Halo Online]]'', War Master was featured, though renamed to "Iron". The suit was later also given a concept pass by [[:Category:Images by Theo Stylianides|Theo Stylianides]] during the [[Development of Halo Infinite|development]] of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', wherein explorations were conducted to update the suit to the visual style of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR GEN3]]. However, the armor did not make the cut and has-yet to appear in the game.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/d0LAWW|Site=ArtStation|Page=HALO Infinite|D=05|M=03|Y=2022}}  

The three alternate skins for the War Master armor in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' all bear the names of various Roman leaders and generals; Augustan is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus Gaius Octavianus Augustus], who was a general under Caesar and later the first emperor of the Roman Empire. Scipios were part of one of Rome's oldest families, the Cornelia families. They had several generals and politicians in their ranks, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scipio_Africanus Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus] who defeated Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The last skin is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius Tiberius], one of Rome's greatest generals who was adopted by Augustus, eventually becoming emperor himself.
