What an absolute fucking unit this guy was.

[@ogre7699]

Who would in a fight? A galactic juggernaut hellbent on decimating humanity, or Michael "whot tha focks ah cancah?" Baird? I love this dude. Absolute unit of a marine.

[@rickregina5053]

For some reason, I think they might have missed an opportunity. Imagine this guy as a spartan-4. A pissed, Marv-looking dude in spartan armor.

[@nutyyyy]

I'm glad he was spared that fate.

[@adampatterson7248]

Served you Planet well Baird you will be remembered 🙏

[@greenpizza1176]

How have I never heard this story before, that was fucking Awesome!

[@MalpasDan]

Dude... I was a kid when I watched this. I don't remember any of it except the head cutting scene. It traumatised me for some reason. No one's fault but my own lmao. I couldn't remember the name or anything of it for years, until today. Glad I came back to it and saw it properly.

Yup, ghost died with his prototype armor just to save this

[@WarGrowlmon18]

The Babysitter episode is canon too. One of those ODSTs was Dutch from Halo 3: ODST.

[@CT--wq2ly]

Homecoming is also Canon and (correct me if I'm wrong) the one that had the Arbiter in it is also Cannon

Everything in Halo Legends is canon. Except Spartan 1337.

1:09 all I was thinking was “why is there a pink hitler in a kimono”. But then I realized “Halo AI’s sometimes where clothes from older civilizations like the Mona Lisa comics AI”. Man ain’t I a dumb dumb.

Yeah she's supposed to be some kind of ancient Chinese wisewoman or something like that.

[@troycarter2094]

0:28 The spartan looking thing is actually off of Halo legends if haven't seen it yet

[@OysterMassage]

Thats a MJOLNIR experimental suit. Its from the Prototype short in Halo Legends. It was basically a less effective Mantis. But they were rarely used in combat, and almost immediately discontinued.

[@combativeThinker]

Shawn Seward It was actually more effective than the Mantis, but its prohibitive cost precluded its widespread use in combat so its development was halted. The technology used in its conception was applied to the next generation of MJOLNIR armor variants and used in the development of the Mantis.

[@UNSCWarCriminal]

I'll always appreciate the blink-and-you'll-miss inclusion of the Prototype mech suit. A nice appetizer of interconnected worldbuilding.

[@alecbowman4127]

I love it. When I hear him I just envision Kal Skirata as Josh Adams portrays him.

[@bernardorios9948]

Y'all know this evolution on Planet Algolis took place in Halo Wars 2 and it's comic The Rise of Atriox took place when Atriox murders Pvt. Michael Taylor and 1st Sergeant Jessica Kress along with A.I. name Beatrix, right? 0:21. 🧐. This evolution is where Atriox formed the mercenary organization called... The Banished.
