With the ability to teleport, who needs vehicles?


For combat.


But any combat utilities a vehicle has, you can just equip onto the Promethean itself. Its already a giant machine.


And "Promethean" vehicles wouldn't be Promethean so much as it'd be Forerunner. The Prometheans were infiltration units designed to strike at the heart of Flood infestations and destroy them from the inside. They wouldn't need to use vehicles for the most part.

On the occasions they did, they'd just use Forerunner vehicles. Though I'm unsure of if they could use a Sphinx or Seeker.

They need to self assemble around the "driving" player like the weapon animations from campaign.

Look at the Didact's armour assemble around him when he exits the cryptum. That's what the vehicles need to do.

Exactly.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Do I need to put every thing in caps? LOOK AT THE GOD DAMNED TERMINALS! They explain everything and canonically put this thread to rest.
The terminals in no way say whether or not they used vehicles.

The Prometheans were a last resort, by then I doubt that the Didact had the resources to build vehicles as well.

Whatever they are, they need to be bulky and unstreamlined as hell.

Don't forget the orange trim.

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

Irrelevant. They were made for fighting the Flood. That's the only thing the Didact intended for them at the time. Vehicles would just slow them down.

Its okay, we won.

I would imagine something that is streamlined, practical, and has maximum ergonomic efficiency. It would obviously need a fair share of hardlight to go along with it. You should use the Promethean weapons for inspiration.

If you are talking about the ancient forerunner warrior servant prometheans, I would suggest something similar to the war sphinxs mentioned in Cryptum. It would have have to be large because Promethean Forerunners are massive.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

Yay!

As someone who has watched the Terminals multiple times to make sure they didn't miss anything...

There is nothing in there that actually says the Prometheans didn't use vehicles. And when you think about it, your argument that they 'were just made to fight the Flood' is kind of senseless. I don't think the Prometheans alone could be capable of space travel, OR out-of-orbit insertion. BOTH of which seem as a requirement to be able to fight the Flood.
