Subject: Possible Slight Recon In Promethean Size?

I was skimming through the concept art of the Promethean Knights earlier and noticed one of the concepts showed a Forerunner about the size of the Chief partially encased in armor, having extended mechanical arms and legs with a second set of joints. In Cryptum most Forerunners wear some type of Combat Skin and in the case of Chakas and Riser the armor had the ability to increase their physical size and height. Cryptum also portrays the Warrior Servants, specifically the Didact at a massive 15 feet in hight. I always thought that was waaaay too big even with mutations involved, could the writers at 343 had the same thought and made a slight recon for Halo-4 by explaining some of the massive height for the Prometheans and the Didact as a result of their armor? Concept art link below.

*Retcon.

I assume the really, really powerful leader-type Forerunners are the ones that are 4 meters tall, and the smaller ones are just footsoldiers?

Just a guess.

Retcon. My bad. About the Promethean Knights being lower level foot soldiers, I dunno. Most Warrior Servants were about the size of Didact. I wouldn't thing the Forerunners would just stick any composed Forerunner in a Promethean Sentinel. The most popular theory going around about the nature of the Knight's is that they are almost like the Husks from Mass Effect; dead or dying soldiers turned into cyborgs(part flesh, part machine) or that their minds were simply used as templates for Promethean AIs. We won't know for sure until Halo-4 comes out.

Oh, the Knights? I've heard they're pretty much just glorified Sentinels.

I am alpha, i am omega.

I am the last of the primes.

The knights we fight aren't Prometheans in that sense, they are like the guard dogs for the real prometheans.
