gaming Is the FOTUS armor a brony reference?

[Fiery Shadow 109]

Now this discussion is mainly going to focus on the Halo 4 limited armor permutation "FOTUS". Now first of all; what is FOTUS?

First of all we need to read about the halo wiki's page about the armor.

 

"The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/FOTUS is a variant of MJOLNIR (GEN2) utilized by the SPARTAN-IV's. It is manufactured by 343 Industries and was tested in Kirkland, Washington, URNA and received high movement proficiency ratings for coffee runs on rainy days."

 

Now this doesnt say much as it is a joke of some sort.

But the pages trivia says a little more.

 

-In Halo 4, the armor could only be obtained by purchasing the Halo 4 Limited Edition Xbox 360 Bundle. The bundle also includes an exclusive Xbox 360 avatar costume version of the armor. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the armor can be worn by any player.

 

-"FOTUS" is an acronym of "Fist of the Unicorns," a musical band comprised of crewmen on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552.

 

-The description refers to Washington State being known for its coffee and having the most rainfall of all the United States.

 

Now note the second trivia. "Fist of the unicorns". this doesnt really sound brony to me as its according to trivia a musical band on the Now Destroyed Pillar of Autumn.

 

now let's have a look at the armor itself.

Doesnt look brony to me. Why, you ask?

Well have a look at the Promethean Knight. Especially the head.

if you can spot the differences then you can most likely understand. The Armor was inspired by the Prometheans in general.

 

so no. the fotus armor is not a brony reference. feel free to discuss here.
