Description
I had this idea for a UNSC-modified Hunter mech on my way home from class.History:
The UNSC has a nasty habit of improving on any bits of Covenant technology they capture and this Hunter-class assault mech is no different.
Though heavily damaged in battle, this Hunter was intact enough for the UNSC to repair for use by the elite Spartan Squadron. The Fuel Rod Gun was disassembled and sent off to a Think Tank for reverse-engineering; in its place is a Spartan Laser, which has a third of the charge time and unlimited shots due to the Hunter's superior power source. While standard Hunters would use their cannons as clubs, the UNSC's Hunter has had a prototype Plasma Axe blade mounted to the bottom of its gun to reduce possible damage to it. Also new are the improved shields on its left forearm that are lighter and can cut through enemy hulls easier. It also has limited flight ability due the jet engines that replaced the old spikes. Finally, its legs have been almost completely rebuilt with stronger armor but less mobility, a worthy trade-off considering its new defenses.
It also has various cosmetic changes to make it blend in with the rest of the Spartan Squadron's mecha.
4/16/2011: The UNSC Hunter was recently featured as part of the Bungie Weekly Update along with many fine Hunter-related screenshots and other great pieces of Hunter art!

EDIT 3: I'm tired of answering this in comments: this UNSC Hunter is a robot. The wormy part was replaced with AI containment material from Mjolnir armor.
EDIT: Changed the gun a little. I took off that machinegun and added a scope and a nifty axe blade.
EDIT 2: Found better GP-02A lineart for the legs. Now the UNSC Hunter stands a little prouder and taller.

The Halo wiki says there's no a between the "M" and "g" but you were closer than I would've been.

Oh, thanks! These things are my favorite even though they're almost impossible to kill without getting close.

But we wouldnβt be ablre to drive this.

Well we could if this was a exosuit like the prototype suit or, we could control this like a drone our Spartan would disappear and be replaced with the Mech Hunter. On the other hand this mech suit could be heavy cyborg armour.

Yeah, it could... but the Hunter look wouldnβt make much sence unless 343 said βFuck logic and letβs make something cool because itβs coolβ

The Mantis isn't awful but it does share that stocky aesthetic other UNSC gear had.

I do love to drive around in the Mantis and attacking over players but this mech suit looks like it can do much more like the Prototype from halo legends.

I would've liked to pilot the Prototype in a game, either as a vehicle or in place of being a Spartan. It was awesome in Legends.

It's a shame there was only one and it got destroyed.

All in favor of this being a legitimate Halo asset, comment "Aye".
F*cking aye!

I could almost see the Hunters joining up with the UNSC after the war with the Covenant. IIRC, the Hunters were forced into joining the Covenant after being threatened with orbital bombardment.

Can I just say one thing? Hunters are a worm like species, not a mech.

That they are. This, however, is a UNSC version of my Hunter-based mech:Β http://dracostarcloud.deviantaβ¦

Oh ok. I really want this implemented into Halo 5. You should make more mechs
π: 0 β©: 1
I have. I've done mechs based on several Mjolnir types, most of the Covenant races, ODSTs, and UNSC Marines.

Try a forerunner promethean type mech, I suggest the knight would be good as it is bipedal.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll give it some thought; it's a good idea. I haven't done a Halo mech since ODST.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think that a promethean mech would be really cool, you only need to decide whether it's before the diadact took them over(blue) or after(orange) and if it's UNSC/Covenant/Forerunner.Β

With the magic of Photoshop, I can make it both!

True, maybe you should.

A much more worst foe to face on the battlefield, besides the elite in spartan armor art I saw earlier, and now I'm paralyzed in fear...

Just keep your target locater handy and let an orbiting battleship or a Mammoth do the heavy lifting.

NOOO, to late he's coming right at me! *gets smacked* AAAAAAAAAAAH! *dies*

Oh well. Free ammo and grenades for me.

If I could put something like this into halo 4
Id call it the juggernaut suit and make it a vehicle in game
give it a machine gun/grenade launcher(like the ones on the falcons but less op) on one arm and a shield for blocking on the other(blocking makes you slower but less prone to explosives)
can sprint like spartans but onl for a short time
if you block while sprinting you move slower and for less time but you bash attack people by ramming them
Make it immune to emp, and can take head shots
it would be vulnerable from the rear though

It's gotta at least get the grenade launcher. Even a Falcon's machinegun is too weak.
π: 0 β©: 1
i meant the grenade launcher on the falcon (give it a six shot launcher has to reload but has infinite ammo)
and even then falcon machine guns destroy just about everything but heavy armor
the gauss hog, scorpion tank, and banshee are the only vehicles that
can stand up to a falcon and even the banshee doesn't stand much of a chance
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd hope you meant the Falcon's grenade launcher. The handheld one sucks.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not if you know how to use it
Its a insta kill weapon if you use it right

also you forgot that at the end of halo 2 the Hunter were working with the elite how for a time up until this new for were human allies how is to say that they are still some elite and ex-covenant allies that work with us that armor could still have a living breathling hunter.although the did not use that part for Halo ODST or halo 3 witch pissed me off.your work is a master peace 15 out of 10.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that some Hunters were working for the Elites at the end of Halo 2.
π: 1 β©: 1
ya that what piss me off about the 3 game they could have mix up your all some with it but they did not fallow the story at all they remove the specter and make it were the scorpion need s second do to work the turret ,removed the turrets use in 2 as well.one i found the turrets of to convinant do to them being light and carry able by human or covenant troops ,made Miranda into a changed her from kick ass to lame and dall ,the Elites in it were get and the other add ons.and kill about every one you like beside chieft ,Cortana, and Arbitor.i wish if they are going to make new versions of covenant that they also keep all of the old stuff to. turret of halo 2 ,the sheild chair turretc of 2 ,the specture ,all old disigns of the brutes ,grunts ,weapons, and crafts instead of constantly changing them.

Miranda got lame? She dual-wielded a magnum and a shotgun! She killed more Brutes than any Marine I ever saw!
And that's LAME? >
