Something a lot of more casual fans don't know - the Prototype suit would not die here. At least not in terms of concept. Pay close attention to the weapon systems, namely the minigun and rocket pods. The data and concepts involved in this project would eventually be combined with another and go on to become the Mantis mech we see used in Halo 4, 5 and Halo Wars 2. And no, Cole's backstory is a bit different. You've got bits and pieces but they're out of order. Cole was enlisted as a crewman in the UNSC Navy and basically worked his way up through the ranks to rear admiral before retiring during the Insurrection years, and was brought back into service during the initial battles with the Covenant at Harvest. During that time the man would quickly establish rules of engagement and actually manage to contest the Covenant despite an overwhelming technological disadvantage, and it would be during this time that the Cole Protocol would be written with the understanding that if the Covenant found Earth the UNSC would be incapable of stopping them. During the following years Cole would be the ONLY officer to really find any measure of success against the Covenant in naval engagements, culminating in a final battle around Psi Serpentis which was a gas giant. Man would inflict insane casualties on the Covenant while barely losing any ships of his own - a feat practically unheard of at this point - through some clever navigational tricks that I believe would go on to later inform the Keyes Loop, with the battle concluding as Cole launched enough nukes to transform the brown dwarf into a momentary star, eliminating the Covenant fleet. Odds are that he survived, too, ONI projecting something like an 80% confidence that he just went into hiding with the detection of a slipspace jump from inside the brown dwarf moments before detonation.
Interesting! I can totally see what you mean regarding the Mantis. Thanks for helping fill in for Cole's backstory. Its been quite a while since I read his story and I had a feeling I left a lot out so this is really helpful!
@@x2zchat Sadly there’s not a whole lot more available on Cole. He’s one of those weird figures who is mentioned literally everywhere within the lore but I think he’s only got a single dedicated story to his name, and he’s not like Johnson who got Contact Harvest but then went on to show up in a bunch of other novels as a secondary character.
Ghost being declared *"MIA"* is just the most badass thing he could earn as a soldier. Because being declared *"MIA"* is something the UNSC do for Spartans when they fallen in battle for UNSC propaganda. But for him again to be declared *"MIA"* means the UNSC honor his death to that of a Spartan. He didnt die as a marine, he died as a Spartan.
In addition to rescinding his statement, he also asked for Ghost to be listed as "Missing in Action", not Killed in action, even though it was obvious he had died. This was a subtle nod that the commanding officer wanted him honored as if he was an unofficial spartan for his heroic actions. "Spartans never die, they just go Missing in Action."
This is might favorite episode of the series. Its probably the most emotional one of the group, plus the action and animation scenes are gorgeous. i could watch an entire Halo Anime if it were made by this studio
This is by far my Nr.1 *Favourite;* Nothing is more rough than losing folks under your own Command. Let alone Your friends. Regardless of Your Rank - *In Military*
Fun fact about this one, the aesthetic of the Halo franchise since day one was heavily inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam from Chiefs Mjolnir MKV armor to the Hunter's whole design. This short was Halo going full circle having a short done by the team responsible for Gundam at the time.
Halo took ideas from alot of pulp media. The Spartan program is designed to be a carbon copy of the Kurt Russel film Soldier. The UNSC itself is based off of the government in Starship Troopers. We could go on and on how much influenced HALO. Firefly, the series that lasted 13 episodes, also plays a part in this. The Insurrectionists were that universes Brown Coats.
It's actually a web comic that has a few scenes from this animation. It's basically the rest of this story. The Ideals of Isaac Asimov are put to the test in Heart of Midlothian.

I heard recently (haven't had time to double check the actual lore) but Admiral Cole was 2nd in command of the Spirit of Fire before the Human Covenant war, under Captain Cutter. It makes sense that he would've found a way to mess with the Covenant and plan a contingency to slow their path to Earth after working with the Captain of the UNSC's oldest active ship
I recommend you watch admiral cole there is a video about his life and a video by i think space dock going over admiral coles last stand also the suit in this video was a real thing it was called the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL MARK 1 prototype Armour Defence System but only a prototype was build because this was late in the war and it was super expensive to build but the idea wouldn't be lost and the mantis mech suit would be build based on this suit
The prototype was still used, it was the forerunner to the power armor of the Spartans, and the mantis mech. The shield was a bubble shield I think. But instead of a power armor as we see here it was split into a heavy mech for infantry and a lesser armed version for Spartans who are able to casually use the weapons and discard them when done. The jump packs, and bubble shields were used as powerups for Spartans too
This suit is not the precursor to Mjolnir armor. This is the Mark I ADS, not Mark I Mjolnir. It was developed and prototyped during the H/C war as a way to outfit marines with power armor like the Spartans.
You have it backwards. Hrunting was the line of exoskeletons that the likes of the Cyclops were from. It predated Mjolnir and was for commercial/logistical/engineering work. Mjolnir borrowed heavily from Hrunting in its early stages, when it was originally another exomech-suit. Yggdrasil came later and was specifically for taking Mjolnir tech and adapting for non-Spartan use. Hence why the Prototype was designated Hrunting-Yggdrasil. It was a Hrunting project that was being equipped with Mjolnir tech.

Halo origins just proves we need a quality anime covering the human covenant war
Was a Ghost. Became Human. Died has a Spartan.

Studio Bones made this episode and their animation style definitely fits the halo design just from a anime perspective

@@Spartan117Lon Firefly is post Halo and the first introduction to the Insurrection, if anything it took from Halo.
This one is my favorite aswell. It's such a great example of how to write a short story.
Heart of Midlothian? Sounds like we gotta watch Halo Evolutions now lol
rob aint ready for mona lisa
Coming up soon! 😁

Be Human is alongside with The Babysitter, Origins I and II and Homecoming my favorite Episode
Here's hoping we see The Monalisa before Halo 4.
Edit: just saw the whole video; YES! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE REACTIONS! Halo Evolutions HERE WE COME!

Halo: Gundam Edition :)
The way it was meant.. to be :3

Hence why the Prototype was designated Hrunting-Yggdrasil. It was a Hrunting project that was being equipped with Mjolnir tech.
This was BASED on Mjolnir MKIII but was meant for use by regular infantry to give them an edge Spartan's can't even typically ask for.
Best action apart from the Package. Much more gory than the rest. Homecoming still my number 1
Isn’t this the invasion which sparked the start of the banished by atriox? Or I could be wrong but I think it was algolis
Yes. Yes it was
Preston J Cole was an admiral in the Human-Covenant war, not an engineer!!!
