MEP-PU-2550D/E Generator

The UNSC Generator is an object of UNSC origin that is seen in the Halo: Reach Firefight mode of Generator Defense. The actual purpose of the Generator is unknown but Colonel Holland informs players when they start a match that the Generators are of utmost importance and that defending the is the primary objective.

Structure
The Generator is roughly cylindrical in shape and stands on four small legs. It is slightly taller than the Wolf Spider Automated Turret. It has a glowing yelow core that will gradually shift to red as the Generator takes more damage, similar to a Fusion Coil. The generator is capable of going into lockdown mode that is similar to the Armor Lock ability where a metal cover slides to cover the Generator's core and a yellow shield covers it. The lockdown lasts 30 seconds and the Generator will make a beeping noise when the lockdown mode is ending. After the lockdown ends the Generator must cool down for a short time before it is able to enter lockdown mode again.

Trivia

 * The Generator is similar to the Wolf Spider Turret in that it is able to linked to the player's HUD to displaty the unit's remaining health.
