This was a great breakdown, in particular the speculation on the workings of the energy shield was very interesting. The oscillating magnetic field is a clever idea that doesn't have anything glaringly physics defying about it, and explains the invisible unless interacted with personal shields. The magnetic field strength required to destroy incoming projectiles would be enormous, but considering the incredibly powerful magnet technology we see through the halo series in the MAC weapons and fusion power plants it seems fairly plausible. However it doesn't really explain the opaque shields created by jackal point defense gauntlets, covenant portable shields, and other large scale covenant shield systems. My theory is that these shields use a high energy plasma medium like previously hypothesized. This would explain the constant glow, and extra resilience compared to personal shields, as the plasma provides actual mass to slow down the projectile and better conduct heat into it. Shields used on Covenant spacecraft could also use this same mechanism, which would give them their incredible resilience, and create the shimmering bubble effect that is sometimes described in the novels when a Covenant spacecraft shield is active.
But how does it cause bullets to come to a standstill?
@@thyholynoodle6282 It doesn't necessarily need to, a hypothetical energy shield, or any protective system that is paired with another armor layer, like a Whipple shield (a thin sheet held apart from the hull or main armor plate, sometimes used to protect modern day spacecraft from debris impact) just need to absorb enough of the projectiles energy that the armor underneath can deflect it, either by slowing it down or causing the projectile to break apart and spread its energy over a wider area. That being said, with the absurdly powerful magnets and plasma technology in the Halo universe it would be fairly easy to create a plasma bubble with a magnetic field strong enough to redirect most projectiles easily, and contain plasma hot enough and heavy enough to vaporize or halt any projectiles that get through. In general armor is not designed to outright stop a projectile, just direct its energy elsewhere.
@@isaacsnediker-morscheck3382 now that I think about it, it probably just catches the bullet in the magnetic field causing the the sharp decrease in kinetic energy.
Would the shield containing a plasma medium also explain how shielded ships are able to drop small sections of the shield in order to fire their weapons? Because in this video, he talks about how a shield using only an oscillating magnetic field would go down across the entire shielded area if breached in one location, and it seems to me (who's taken one year of high school physics) that a shield using those principles wouldn't be able to only drop a select section.
@@autumngottlieb3071 I think when looking at jackal shields and the portable shield barriers, we're looking at hardlight shielding. Much like the forerunner bridges. Keep in mind the covenant were technologically superior to humans for the most part
The reveal of the mantis in the campaign is absolute beauty. It rises from a hole, spins, and falls to its feet’s, like an almighty battle horse waiting for its rider to charge into battle with
Plus during your first test drive through the infinity, I think the mantis theme is in sync with the mantis walking cadence.
Untill you replay the level on legendary and relize how damn linear it is

This guy makes halo sound like a potential reality
All of the basic Halo Tech isn't too far out of our current understandings and capabilities. So at least on paper there is a strong potential for it to become reality.
Yeah, it makes the videos so much more interesting than reading a wiki page.
Most of this technology is feasible by modern standards, and possible woith our understanding of physics. The main reason we don't have much of this stuff is needing a few more decades of materials science, inadequate power generation, and lack of funding. AKA: I want my tax money to go into a spartan program.
That’s because it is.
@@Kalashnikova42069 This... This is one of the many reasons why Halo stands above so many other sci-fi universes. The fancy tech and lore are much more believable and emersive.

New Covenant: Hell, he's got a mech now.
Hey, some armor for my armor!
Jackal Sniper: I can take him

Yo. I heard you like mechs, so we made a mech for your mech. 😂

People call it mantis
But RVB fans call it Freckles
"Freckles, shake!"
I mourn for RVB. Shame.
Rvb zero kinda crap
Keyo Abrigo eh the voice acting is trash
To be fair, a show staying good for thirteen seasons is still extremely impressive.
Edit: Phrasing.
I honestly love that 343 was able to make a mech that still feels rugged and works with the UNSC pre-war aesthetic.
Since I watched RedvsBlue before ever playing Halo, I will forever remember the Mantis as "Freckles".

@@yuvrajshah1158
Ask 343.
When he talks about the science and engineering behind the lore, as I’m studying engineering (electrical) it fascinates me how simple he makes things behind the lore such as the energy shields seem so simple to understand. And given today’s technology and R&D it could be possible but funding and power supply would be the biggest issue. I love listening to him break things down whilst working on projects of my own or work for college. Who thinks he and other halo youtubers should do a podcast and breakdown the lore and science.
bro i feel the same, the man has a good way of explaining things.
Yup...just yup.
that would be a dream, and it is so cool to hear that someone who studies in this field is able to see this and be like
"Well ya actually that could work in the future!"
It gives me hope that if humanity gets its act together we can really come together and do something increidble. Also mechs.
Well probably only issac Arthur is comparable to this channel.
The warthog is possible but the lack of protection for the operators is a major concern. Though if we all switched to hydrogen fueled engines we would solve all fuel crisis globally as the only bi product of the engine is water.
I can't help and think what would happen to the Mantis if a Huragok got their cilia on it.
They were pretty creative with their remake of the JOTUNS after all
The Mantis would just be turned into the warrior servent war sphinx. :)
It would be something to fear, that's for sure.
It would likely become a blessed knight, continue on guardsman
With vehicles like the Mantis expanding the UNSC's roster from just wheel & treads to mechs, I wonder if in the near future the UNSC will develop any hover vehicles (besides V-TOL aircraft).
I also just realized, we have yet to see an UNSC amphibious assault craft in game. That potential addition would be a cool feature as then the Chief could cross bodies of water deeper than 2 feet.
Halo CE... Warthog in the water on silent cartographer.
The best part of the mantis imo is you can still crouch repeatedly to your allies
Dude I remember it saying I could crouch with the left stick, but I tried it and it never worked in Halo 4.
@@Stratonetic probably your controls, I remember if saying you could overwhelm hydraulics (to stomp) and the button prompt didn't change to match my controls, which are recon if I remember.
@@stygianoatman
Yup, I use Recon, I was thinking it was the button layout that I chose that messed things up, but I was too lazy to test the theory, better to run and gun than figuring out what button layout I need to t bag my enemies.
There's 100% a dedicated button for that in the cockpit.
Or desecrate your fallen foes
I wanna see more mech's in the mainline halo games like the Colossus and Cyclops :)
now here a man of class~
I just hope they do something with the other arm of the colossus because right now its useless
Little correction on how the shields would destroy projectiles: Induction heating. Bullets striking the shielding would experience very rapid, very intense induction of electromagnetic forces inside of the material, generating heat and melting/vaporizing it. Magnetic fields can't just levitate things, they can also set anything on fire as well.
Anti flood armor?
@@ironclaw3000user That would explain why infection forms pop instantly when they touch energy shields
"Freckles...
Shake!"
"It's Church!"
~weapon misfires, producing confetti
Technically, it's not a misfire. Dr. Grey deliberately made that decision when she installed Freckles' AI into Caboose's MA5D. That happens whenever you pull the trigger; only Freckles can actually fire it. This is to prevent Caboose from teamkilling.
@@autumngottlieb3071 I actually figured out that freckles having more control is better
Someone I cant remember: how did you figure that out?
Grey: I gave caboose the rifle for 5 seconds.....a busy day at the hospital that was.

I do not care what people say, the Mantis is one of the coolest vehicles ever in Halo
The AT-ST’s little brother
na, it the big brother
@@dainguyen2733 AT-ST came first thought
@@LAV-III point taken, but the mantis overall better than the atst ( in my opinion), so it's like the little brother with more smarts than the older
@@dainguyen2733 I feel like the mantis is more used for hitting targets farther away with strong blaster shops that pierce armor and cause explosion they move faster than the mantises explosives and has a higher elevation for shooting farther away targets and perhaps even anti-air but the Mantis is more for ground vehicles and anti-infantry and more versatile
@@dainguyen2733 it's kind of like the Marines and army they look similar and they do some of the things but they're used more for different roles and specialize in different things they just overlap a lot in certain areas
That picture in the front look like a Titan from Titanfall for a second to me.
@D Bo A Titanfall Titan would shred a Mantis without as much trouble as a Titan does a Reaper from Titanfall
@D Bo Titans the same size as the mantis but can punch things, they are just bigger infantry and have some pretty crazy weapons.
@D Bo The stryder is 21 tons the Atlas is 28 tons and the ogre is 58 tons, plus the vortex shield can just shot back the shells and rockets that the Mantis fires, plus the titans dash. if the UNSC had those during the coverant war. they would have an IFV crewed by one guy that would help them a lot.
I’m a fan of both halo and titan fall so I hate to say it but some titan classes would be able to rip a mantis in half but some would be Swiss cheese a little into the fight. I’m personally a fan of the scorch titan however I don’t think it napalm like weapon would be useful against a mantis. A vanguard class would without a doubt destroy the mantis in a head to head fight though
@@scorchprimethewalkingwarcrime Dose scorch use a thermite laucher? and it doesn't really need to destroy the Mantis, just need to cook the guy on the inside. i think?
While the Mantis is cool and all...the Human-Covenant War Pelican will always be the best vehicle in my opinion. So Iconic!
You know whats better than both? A pelican dropship with a mantis in the back! 😁
@@windbeneathmywings4884 ONI: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!
Called it Pentis or Flying Mantis
I remember the very first time I used the Mantis. The night of H4's launch back in the day, the H4 version of Valhalla in multimatching. It didn't take long to get accustomed its weaponry, but the other team (suck it, Blues) more or less panicked for a good while I became the rallying point for the Reds as I got around 15 to 20 kills before the Blues finally got me. Our side won and I got MvP. It was an almost magical moment back then. XD
I absolutely adore the Mantis! Hope we get to see it (or some version on it in Halo Infinite!!!)
Ah, the closest thing I can ever pilot and pretend it's metal gear
Ah. A true man of culture i see
@@quinn8599 yeah, I never had a ps3 so I never played mgs4
The English accent makes narrating this video gives it a certain level of elegance.
Wouldn’t a Spartan laser be a better weapon for this platform? Great video!!
yes but UNSC signiture weapons are projectiles and missles
It could be but again for the UNSC it’s easier to make a projectile with higher power than a energy weapon with their current technology though maybe it’d still be a good idea
Love the redone shield description. Always had a problem with your plasma explanation because then they would always glow. The new one is much more accurate to what we see and closer to my own theory that energy shields are shitty hardlight or at least operate on similar principles.
“Hrunting was a completely separate powered exoskeleton program altogether.”
It was a complete separate powered exoskeleton program. (“Airplane!” reference)
Wonder if the mantis will be used for several centuries like the warthog. The unsc are hoarders
Probably not. UNSC uses things for centuries when they're mind numbingly simple and easy to maintain. The Mantis is def not that
Its different with the Mantis. Its a giant mech that requires a good amount of maintenance and is always being upgraded. While things like the warthog and scorpion are just very simple and practical vehicles that require no replacements.
I have always loved the Mantis
The mantis was my favorite vehicle in halo 4 and 5 i used to call the mantis ground A10 due to the fact it was a walking stomping monster of a freind and machine.
I was obsessed with the Mantis in Halo 4! I had to include one in every forge world race track I’d make.
I also made a Mantis Arena with mancannons and stuff. I never got to play online in said Mantis arenas but maybe MCC will fix that.
I would like to see a breakdown of the UNSC Strident-Class Frigate.
mantis man
Halo 4 on PC!!!🥳🎊🎉
I never noticed before but since returning to warhammer 40,000, the Mantis reminds me of a light armored version of a Dreadnought (or more accurately those new pilotable mechs they got that I can't remember name of atm) I only mention as much due to its loadout of full-auto high velocity right arm & missile launcher left arm.
Don't get me wrong thou I do understand there entirely different vehicles from different franchises, I just want to say what I thought apon reflection
primaris marines have them i know i just forget name
That's Metal Gear!? It's already active!
Mantis and mammoth are my favorite parts of the new halo age
Jesus dude, the amount of detail you go into, it's astonishing. Like, holy fuck, explaining how the armor is basically made of transistors because of the doping of the crystalline structure... Trust me, I understand what you're saying, I'm just impressed as hell. The amount of research you put into Halo makes you an absolutely true fan. The truest of the true.
Straight up one of my favorite videos on this barren landscape of a site. I particularly enjoyed the discussion about the energy shielding.
A great video as always. Looking forward to the next breakdown.
Please put down your weapon, you have 20 seconds to comply.

@@lazyvideoproductions2979 You have 5 seconds.
I was just watching the prototype armour video
As a wise man once said, "Armor for my armor"
There was nothing better than getting a Hannibal Mantis and breaking that bad boy out during Warzone Firefight, knowing that you were going to own each round.
I love how the energy shielding explanation makes sense! That's actually pretty cool
This hypothesis is the most realistic that I've heard concerning shields. Noice
Another great video! I love using the Mantis so much and I love the soundtrack for it. I practically use it all the time in warzone halo 5 whenever I can. I know I saw a guy going into armories with one when I first started playing after that I copied him so I forget his name. If you saw them going into Temple on Sanctum it is because I enforced the behaviour.
I hate it when my team is pinned down by farmers so if necessary I will bring the fight to them even if it means my death and I hate cowards, but sometimes the team needs a little push and you gotta break that comfort of your enemy.
One thing that you could've mentioned is the striking resemblance of the mantis and Metal GEAR REX ;D
Everyone who gets to tinker with the Mantis: "MORE ARMOR!"
It was always werid how the Halo universe never invested in mechs
A nice vehicle. Seeing a Gauss Cannon Mantis would be a very scary sight.
That mantis look like one of the mech from mech assault
Looks close to a Cougar to me, maybe a Squished Vulture?
Cougar and or definitely one of our 2 round bois. Though it somewhat has some resemblances to ragnarok
It’s a metal gear with low rocket capacity.
Wow the energy shields make so much sense now.
Man I love this series. I can't wait for you to do the CAS, CSO and Infinity/Eternity :)
I would love to see the Mantis in action in an animated series or live action, would be nice to see the marines messing up brutes w/out the help of spartans
Damn I want a mantis to roam around in more than ever.👊💥🤘Another excellent breakdown man.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one!
Great video man
Just the breakdown of the armour and its make up. lends to your research and intelligence. Well done!
You're Videos like meditation in my most loved Franchise 🙂
I'm not a physicist, but from what I know of armor and ballistics, it seems to me that having a physical medium, even if it is a high energy plasma rather than relying solely on the magnetic field strength (which would also severely screw with your onboard electronics as well) would significantly lower the energy cost of the shields, albeit at the cost of not actually being able to regenerate them once the field cage is broken due to the plasma leaking out.
Great video keep up the good work.
This channel is so underrated.
*Spookston viewers has joined the fray*
Ah yes a man of culture
Great video. Can we please get a cyclops breakdown next
Installation00 are you going to do a detailed breakdown video on autumn class heavy cruiser in the future.
The shields magbetic field may be used to hold a small amount of plasma, creating a plasma wibnow as a gas barrier. Small solid particles could also be injected into the field the moment a larger field change (like a procectile) is measured, actingblike a high speed particle jet helping with shredding projectiles and disipating heat.
Mini Metal Gears
yay! another video
Whoa, the explanation of the shields was particularly amazing. Sure it was a total rework of how you explained the Mjolnir armor shield, but it felt so much more complete, and made more sense. These MDBs never cease to amaze me
MDB?
@@Alligator81 most detailed breakdown
"His name is freckles, because of the red dots on his face"
Yep old saying: shot the feet beneath out, joints
8:06 "Freckles!"
Speaking of mechs, if you would break down some stuff from the battletech universe that would be awesome
Is space frigates possible?
I've designed some, and one designed ( fictional I must remind, but still possible.) Is where it uses space x star ships, a ion engine, at least 4 to 5 solid space habitats, and one inflatable habitat that can be rapped around with a exoskeleton.
For direction control, control thrusters, and the same technology that causes the iss to rotate.
Then of course you have artificial gravity which could be obtained with magnetism.
John-117 is also a MechWarrior
A more accurate view is that he is a cyborg.. which is what alot of people forget what spartans are..
In theory then; couldn't this entire system be defeated by a ferrous projectile with an internal capacitor bank? By using inductance to cause a massive feedback loop, you could charge, discharge and recharge the capacitor using just the own shield's EM energy. So long as it was embedded, the shields wouldn't be able to recharge. And if the pulses were strong enough/frequent enough, you could even cause catastrophic damage. Excellent breakdown btw; even though it's one of my least favorite vehicles.
And this is partially why a 1 klick long "super-stack" Super-Mac such as the gun on Cairo Station can kill even a covie 5.3 klick long CAS-Class Assualt Carrier. That and a 3000 ton projectile is fired at 4% the speed of light with an impact force of 51.6 Gigatons equivalent to a blast force greater than 1,031 times that of Tsar Bomba.
Its been stated more than once how important the UNSC gaining MACs during the years of the insurrection prior to the Human-Covenant War were and was one of the key aspects of the amount of fierce resistance humanity was able to throw up at the covenant in the face of overwhelming annihilation and genocide.
oh man the explanation of the energy shields is genius, its too bad the power requirements are beyond us as of now, at least on a small scale.
Best part of the video was seing arbi doing arbi tingz at 13:13
I kinda hope we could drive the Mark II (D) Mega-Mantis. It looks like an absolute beast
The mantis wasn’t based off of the Mjonir armor as construction for Mjonir started in 2512 the Mantis was introduced in 2408
Well not to dis any of this because as usual this was amazing and well thought out and researched... the only major thing of note I herd was that we NEED TO GET THS MAN TO 100K ASAP PEOPLE. HUP TOO DOUBLE TIME, SEND TO ALL FRIENDS, COWORKERS, ENEMIES, AND YES EVEN THE DREADED FAMILY. WE NEED THIS DONE NOW.
something I've been thinking about for awhile now is in the future of halo will we get a mantis, scorpion, pelican hybrid with the shields of mjolnir mk 7 as standard idea for all the 3 including the other suits & ships?
I got here so early the Progenitors are still a single species
Ah yes, the forerunners who created the pyramids
Can we do titanfall titans on lore core multiverse next? I would love to see how the two mechs would fair against each other.
I like the new energy shield theory, it makes more sense to me
is there a video on the Prototype power armour seen in the Halo Legends Animation?
Most detailed breakdowns are fucking bingeworthy
Full on UNSC mobile suits when?
Funny thing is that the MJOLNIR is a mobile suit. Tomino originally wanted a power armor for Gundam but the execs said they want giant robots. Why would a huge humanoid mech moves and fights as if as they're infantry? Tomino's inspiration for MS is none other than from Heinlein.
can you do a most detailed breakdown of UNSC ARMY trooper armor?
Makes me want to play Halo 5 again.
I have a lore related question in regards to the mantis. Is there an in-game or canon explanation as to the reason why the mantis in Halo 4 is a single fire missile system, while the Halo 5 mantis is a multi fire missile system.
I understand that the mantis from H4 had a multi-fire mode (holding the trigger until all fired), But I am curious as to why the single fire mode was 'removed' from the vehicles' capabilities.
Something that would be amazing is breaking down the Hawk from halo wars
Awww I was super hoping you’d go over that massive looking Mantis that Johnson could call in back in HW2... but I guess it’s not canon or something?
Mantis?! I thought he was called Freckles?
As for the neural lace, I have my own theory on the matter, one which is based on the setting of Battletech, a franchise largely dedicated to mech combat.
In Battletech, the pilots of these battlemechs, commonly refered to as Mechwarriors, wear large, often bulky "Neurohelmets", devices capable of reading brain signals in a non-invasive fashion, in a particualar, those of the inner ear area. While gyroscopes and the control computers of a mech can keep it upright and balanced, the neurohelmet enables more mine fine control as well as indicating to the on board systems when it is acceptable to be off-balance. This allows the mech to operate beyond its technical limitations, such as side stepping an attack or throwing its weight into a punch (Yes, battlemechs tend to end up in fisticuffs), all the way to impressive piloting feets such as performing a handstand. For reference, the mechs we are talking about are in the weight range from 25 metric tons (Light mechs) all the way to 100+ metric tons (Assaultmechs).
Going back to the Mantis, I believe that the neural lace performs a similar purpose, allowing the pilot to have better fine control and the mech to be considerably more agile due to it not being limited by the more linear logic of mechanical sensors and control systems.
Im leaving the reference page for the Neurohelmet in this comment, should you wish to read more about it, or just the Battletech universe in general (something for the Lore Core series ^^).

I would honestly love a banished mantis
Can we get a most detailed on the cyclops? Or the sparrow hawk? Or really any of the unscs cool toys from Halo Wars
M-Metal Gear?!
Fusion does not have to be of deuterium. There are other fuels that can be used depending on the fusion reactor design (Helium-3, Tritium, and Boron I believe (know it is something that starts with a 'b') are the most commonly proposed fuels in addition to deuterium for fusion). In fact, some of these actually work better than the D-D reaction (D-T is one suggested reaction).
