Subject: Thel' Vadam, a General?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

Now I do know that Thel' Vadam was a Zealot. But the armor from the Halo trilogy to Reach for the Zealot drastically changed.
So this makes me wonder, does Thel' Vadam's armor change?
If 343 were to update the opening cutscene for Halo 2, would Thel' still be wearing that same armor. Or would he be wearing these armors:
Purple Zealot
Gold General
It seems that the General replaced the Zealot in Reach. So could Thel' be wearing General armor? Apparently the General in Halo: Reach is a type of Zealot.

Hmmm...Zealot most likely.

Thel'Vadam wasn't just any Zealot, he was an Elite Supreme Commander. The armour would likely be unique as opposed to a General or Zealot. Supreme Commanders wear purple armour for ceremonial purposes but this not being a ceremonial event, he would wear his standard uniform. I very much doubt he would wear General armour or even standard Zealot. Another Supreme Commander appears in The Package, Luro 'Taralumee and is wearing a golden set of armor that has a unique appearance. A remake version could look similar to this.

Thank You

although he appeared in Halo 2 with standard shipmaster armour at the start, but its possible that since he is shamed he can't wear ceremonial stuff

I don't think he would be wearing General armor. Look here.
