Do you want to know what is brilliant, the fuck that attitude to "Spartans don't die, they're just missing in action"

A metric fuck ton of spartan II's die on reach and in operation first strike

Most headhunter missions for spartan III's were suicide missions and it in no way helped that spi was like tissue paper in comparison to early versions of mjolnir mk4 which couldn't withstand a plasma pistol overcharge shot without unsealing and opening up a massive shoot me sign

Noble team, just noble team

The spartan II washouts that weren't disabled died during augmentation

Linda was clinically dead during the events of halo CE

Despite surviving over 80 years and being part of the Orion program, it took one shot from 343 guilty spark to kill sgt Johnson

Spartan hoya, a member of augmented personal in mjolnir gen 2 armour although didn't die was left on a stretcher after being overwhelmed by Promethean forces (Although judging by the fact that he had no speaking lines after coming back to infinity and didn't appear with other members of majestic to escort dr halsey, he was probably not in a good shape afterwards and possibly clinically dead like Linda was)

In halo wars 2, isabel mentions that the banished killed the entire crew of the ship she was on, considering the prevalence of spartan IV's at the time and the fact that the unsc liked to send teams of spartans in pioneer armour to scout out and map out the halo's, they probably were going to do the same thing with the lesser ark considering how unexplored it was, they're dead

Honestly I have this headcanon that Samus actually returns the upgrades she picks up after each mission, since they're Chozo artifacts and she was taught to respect the culture by not taking things, and also part of her training as a warrior was learning to live without, so to speak.

That’s a fair headcanon. I personally wonder if the Chozo would be that bothered, since they are departed from the world and have no use for things that could aid their ultimate warrior and all those she will save in the future. But then again, the Chozo are very respectful and spiritual people, so it wouldn’t be beyond them to expect such a thing. Just as you said, it might be a sign of discipline training- that Samus cannot be greedy and must show respect and restraint, and not take the artifacts she no longer needs. That heightening of the warrior mind and spirit may be more important than any number of useful tech upgrades to a Chozo warrior.

Halo Wars 2 - Sgt. Avery Johnson Unit breakdown for Multiplayer

Following on from the breakdown for Sgt. Johnson’s Blitz cards, here is the breakdown for his unit’s in normal multiplayer. Lets begin!

Sergeant Johnson [Hero Unit] - 0 Population / 450 Resources / 450 Power

Sergeant Johnson is the hero unit for, ermm, Sergeant Johnson. Yes he is just like Kinsano, Decimus and Sgt. Forge where he would rather be on the battlefield then sat in the background. He will enter the battlefield in a mech suit that heavily resembles one of the original concepts for MJOLNIR armour for the first generation of Spartans, which Sgt. Johnson is, so the suit is very fitting for him. The initial version of Johnson has just a Minigun and the ability to drop a Repair Beacon on the ground to heal all friendly unit, it’s pretty much Restoration Drones on a unit, he does have some upgrades though:

Smart Missile - 450 Power Adds a Smart Missile onto Johnson's mech suit, this periodically fires a long range missile. This can attack air units!

Beacon Shield - 600 Power This upgrades the Repair Beacon so that unit’s inside take less damage and make the Repair Beacon last longer and heal faster.

Gauss Chaingun - 850 Power Replaces the Minigun with a Gauss Chaingun which does alot more damage.

Mantis [Ground Vehicle] - 5 Population / 400 Resources / 0 Power

Now aswell as the hero unit Johnson also has 2 other units that are unique to him and the first one if the Mantis. Now the Mantis for Sgt. Johnson doesn’t seem to make much sense since Johnson has zero connection to the Mantis, but since this is all mech themed it was a good way to bring the Mantis into Halo Wars 2. Now the Mantis replaces the Warthog and is much slower then the Warthog, but is much more powerful, not only that but the Mantis is pretty good against air unit’s aswell as ground. Now for the single upgrade for the Mantis:

Missile/Shield Req. - 600 Power Upgrades the Mantis missile to do more damage.

Colossus [Ground Vehicle] - 9 Population / 750 Resources / 120 Power

Fun fact about the Colossus, the Colossus is a giant Mantis, which you will notice very quickly, but the fun part is the Halo 4 map Adrift has a giant Mantis in the middle of the map that’s under construction, well we now know that is actually a Colossus that’s being constructed. Onto the unit itself for Halo Wars 2 and this is a beefed up Mantis and replaces the Scorpion tank, now unlike the Mantis this has a much larger attack radius and can still attack air. For the upgrade this bad boy has:

Stomp - 500 Power Allows the Colossus to stomp the ground, stunning and damaging all enemy ground units around it.

And there you have it, all the other units are the exact same as all UNSC leaders.

hhhhholy fuck okay so the Samus car in Rocket League gave me a really dumb/cool idea okay get this,,,, Autobot Samus

Yes, I like your thinking. With the limited knowledge of Transformers that I have, I’m gonna put this idea out there for all the fanartists

I’m honestly a bit surprised nobody’s drawn something like this yet.

[planet-bryyo]

in terms of what the chozo DNA gives her, it's very likely that she got a more bird-like aerobic capacity and metabolism (as in how efficiently her muscles use ATP and break down the waste products), improved eyesight, hearing, and reflexes, and a higher density of muscle fibers as the most conservative possibilities.

Agreed to that. Possibly something to give her a degree of psychic capability as well. It’s fairly substantial changes really, even if not all extremely visible.

[planet-bryyo]

Actually, I'm already sketching full views of the car so I can start working on Autobot Samus. I'm thinking she may have the Bumblebee style frame with the grill and headlights as the chest

Ooh, nice! Like I said, I don’t know a lot about Transformers but I look forward to seeing the final result!

I had some feels pertaining to Ipos here, so I wanted to draw my magical doctor dad. He's everyone's dad, whether he likes it or not.

Deciding who is a milab and who is a monarch is perhaps, a subjective thing. Some believe that it is a pointless exercise and is “splitting hairs.” To me and the many milabs I know, there is a difference. Without exception, all the milabs I know have the utmost compassion and respect for monarchs. There seems to be a number of milabs and monarchs who are consciously striving to advance the new world order agenda. Within the ufo and mind control research community, there exists certain individuals who have made blatant efforts to disrupt the research efforts of others. One such individual is Kurt Billings whom I interviewed once on the radio. Milab Operations Detailed article about military and alien abductions. By James Bartley.
