This text is about the theroies about the Shangheili (or Elite) to the far left in the Reach banner
People that agree with me that it is an Spartan don't need to read it all, but comments and thoughts is welcome.


First of all.... Where did the thought of the SPARTAN to the far left, really is an elite?

(Image from Privet Cabooses thread, also Special Thanks to StrikeForce for creating these.)

Check that picture
And whatch VERY close on the "thing" to the far left.

When you are done, compare the shape of that to this:

(That picture is of the Arbiter from Halo 2 and 3. And it should probably be an Arbiter if the case now was that the figure on the left is a elite)

Now, lock at this picture

And please, don't complain on my poor MS Paint performance there, thanks.




First of: The Helmet.
The helmets aren't anywhere near alike. And an elite head would probably never fit inside an Mjolnir helmet.

Second: Shoulders: The shoulder parts are more like eachother. But still, the upper body of the left figure in this case, is much more massive than Arbiters upper body. And the shoulder plates aren't so alike more towards the elbows.

Waist: If you can't tell the difference here, I don't know what to tell you.
Same here, more massive waist on the figure to the left. The Arbiter wears no belt, the other one does.

Legs / knees: The armor part is completly different here to. And! The Shangeheilis knees are bent the opposite way of us humans (fact from "Contact Harvest", Halo novel)

I would compare the hands also, if the Spartan image gave me a better view of his hands.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Privet Cabooses post:
The far left is clearly Sam, he looks different, because he's in Mark IV armor, thats what he died in, he was a head taller then the other spartans, Bigger, and stronger.



And last.
It wouldn't make any sense if the left figure was a elite either. (If not that speculated "time travel" thingy was invovled.
Becasue the alliance between the humans and the shangheili didn't occure untill the last parts of Halo 2.
And Reach was before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved.


Discuss :)

Well, what got me thinking it was an elite were the legs, swore to god they were digitigrade, that was until i squinted a bit and saw they were just normal O' spartan legs XD

b.p

i dont think it is an elite as they wernt even on the spartans team, i think it would be a preety stupid story if only one elite was on there side

Lets Get Some

like you said...... it wouldn't make any sence because of the alliance between humans and elites in halo 3....... which reach is before all of the halo games anyways...... Read the books and it could clear things up for you.....

None are elites, the left thing is spartan holding a chain gun with belts hanging out.

Join the Bungie Kids Podcast Group!

Listen to our podcast and listen to us talk about the latest Bungie news and Halo: Reach updates!

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Listen, just think about it for a second. Humans and the Covenant are at each others throats right now. The Covenant have been murdering billions of people while taking dozens of planets in the Outer Colonies while the UNSC is trying to protect the Inner Colonies.

How logical is it that four Spartans are sitting next to one Elite. Not to mention that if it is an Elite, how long do you think that the Elite eill actually stay alive?

They are all Spartans, it's the only logical explanation. I would go and name off every one of the Spartans, but I think it would only make things worse.

That's a tall Spartan (Sam was tall, why can't any of the ones on Reach be tall too?) not an Elite. The legs are clearly human-hinged.

;)

I think that halo:reach might be after halo 3. Master cheif lands on that planet , which could be the post reach, he meets the 3 remaining spartans, and arby comes to look for master chief.

I never noticed that before, that pretty much proves it isn't an elite.
And the fact that it looks nothing like an elite.

Which 3 remaining Spartans? Reach was glassed, within a month the atmosphere would have been gone, and MJOLNIR only had 15 minutes of reserve oxygen. Also, the guy on the left is a Spartan, not an Elite (look at the legs for proof)
