Aye
I kinda like the modern look that artist gave Yukari....

Before people disappear

@ S121
Curious, what can the Bubble Shield from Halo do? Is it a sort of "grenade" in a sense? Can the Bubble Shield withstand a C-4 blast at point blank range?

I'm thinking of maybe ACO is able to pull some items like that from the games, including the ammo...
Maybe even magic tomes...

@Cucoo

No, it's not a grenade-like device, it's more like a gunless turret that you place on the ground.



It protects against pretty much everything, but vehicles and people can still pass through. Last I remember, you can't shoot people from inside of it either. The shield is a two-way shielding system, meaning that you can't shoot people from inside the shield. If you throw grenades while inside the shield, the grenade will stay within the shield and kill everyone inside. Same thing with rockets and bullets. They will ricochet and kill the people inside.

The shield only lasts for 20 seconds, and I can't remember if it can recharge or not. I think it's a one-time deal.

@ S121

How big (dimensions and weight, I presume the wiki has both?) is it and the shield it deploys and How does it activate?

The reason I ask is cause I just thought of a scenario where Eleos recklessly charges into a situation to save someone, flings out a C-4 block, pulls out the detonator and then activates a bubble shield when the person he's trying to save is within range while simultaneously detonating the C-4 as it activates on the outside.

Or the inverse where he straps the C-4 onto the bubble shield device, throws the combo at the target, activates the shield and then detonates the C-4. Contained explosion

EDIT: Nvm the specs I think I found them...

@Cucoo

It weighs 20.5 kilograms (45.1 pounds). ( a lot heavier than I thought. 0_0)

The wiki doesn't say how large it is, but you can always use this video.

Remember that the Spartans are 7 feet 2 inches, meaning that the Bubble Shield will be ever so slightly larger compared to a normal sized human.

well drn it that's kinda big then (I would say it looks about 3-5 ft tall) =w=....
so much for that idea...

EDIT:
The reason I asked was it a grenade was cause I saw something like this somewhere else

@Cucoo

I'll admit, it's a pretty big item. -_-;

The reason why it's so big is because it's a device used by Brutes, guys much larger than Spartans.

@ S121

Aye, I finally found and read the wiki.
...Could we Say ACO managed to get the tech and then developed the grenade version?

@Cucoo

I suppose.

You mean this one, right?

If so, will it last as long as in the video? What are your thoughts? My reasoning is that the smaller device might only have a small protection time, due to the smaller shield generator inside.

@ S121

Just as long as it can survive a blast, aye it'd work for what I mentioned.

EDIT:
You know, I knew what a Wraith was when I named WRAITH, but I forgotten this juicy little tidbit

And there's another version that says after a person's death.

Oh I'm gonna have fun with that...
