Am I supposed to write something funny here?
MJOLNIR mk IV and V don't have built-in thrusters. And the armor in trailer is not mk VI. (Possibly something that Halsey puts together in the Dyson Sphere)

No they didn't. If you actually read the quotes I took from the book instead of spitting out cute little insults at me in the other thread you would've seen that they didn't have internal T-packs. Instead they had external ones that they picked up, wore, then discarded."Read? LOL I don't know how to read. If I knew how to do that we wouldn't be in this predicament in the first place. If you want to win this argument you can't use you fancy 'knowledge' and 'facts' and 'rational arguments'. I thought that was a given?"
What exactly are you quoting?
In any case to repost the quotes again that prove that neither the Mk IV nor Mk V had internal thrusters since people still keep on thinking that...
The Fall of Reach page 144:
"Spartans," John said, "grab thruster packs and make ready to go EVA. Everyone else-" He motioned to the three technicians.
"-get into the forward cabin. If we fail, they'll be coming after the Pelican. Protect Dr. Halsey."
He moved Aft. Kelly handed him a thruster pack and he slipped it on.
That was for Mark IV armor. No integrated thruster pack.
Page 348:
James almost had the explosives rigged to the nose free. A shower of needles hit him. One stuck the tank of his thruster harness-penetrated.
Obviously if it was integrated there wouldn't be a harness for the thing since it's built right into the armor. Further down the same page:
Linda shrugged out of her thruster harness.
No need to delve into how that shows it's a separate piece. That's for Mk V.
Ghost of Onyx too has Thruster interaction.
Kurt ran his own diagnostic. They couldn't take any chances with the packs. Designed for
long range deep space operations, it was one of the riskiest pieces of equipment they'd been
trained on. Even with triple redundancy in NAV system and stabilizers, one accident and
there was enough compressed tri-amino hydrazine in the double fuel tanks to propel you so
far and so fast off course, rescue would be an astronomically remote possibility.
Ghosts Of Onyx, Page 28.
I don't know about you, but I've never seen a Spartan carrying a pair of fuel tanks on his back before.
