~these ain't even out yet!
Vehicle Concept:
*Forerunner version in Parentheses*
Name: Slicer (or Centurion)
Species of Origin: Brute (or Forerunner)
Crew: 1x Driver, 1x Gunner
Armament: 1x Heavy Spike Turret (or Particle Beam Turret), 2x High Density Anti-Personnel blades (or Energy Blades)
Specifications:
The Slicer is a sleek arrow dynamic 2-wheeled vehicle designed to be a quick stealth vehicle that utilizes both orb shaped 'wheels' and covenant anti-grav technology. The Slicer while seemingly lightly armed has a pair of concealed spring loaded blades that snap out and cut down enemies when the vehicle's boost is activated (possibly energy blades). The vehicle is also equipped with a spike turret that can spray an impressive rate of fire of superheated spikes (or superheated beam of energy) that is sure to make enemies duck for cover. All though lightly armed and susceptible to small arms fire the Slicer makes excellent work as a fast strike vehicle for stategic point attacks of for softening enemy forces.
**explanation**
I was thinking a rough metallic exterior similar to other brute vehicles with a build similar to the R-Cycle (picture for those who don't know: R-Cycle) except buliker with a large enclosed turret (possibly ball turret) with 360 rotation that shoots spikes, spikes should be quicker than those of the spike rifle however, and the wheels should be either sort of bulbous orbs or similar to the chopper wheels. the blades aforementioned would be long sleek thin and sharp that spring out like wings when the vehicles boost is activated that are a one hit kill to infantry, blades similar to and inspired by those of the blade liger from zoids (picture for those who don't know: Blade Liger) vehicle should be between warthog and mongoose speed and same amount as health as the goose, meant to be weak, but more protective than the goose because the driver and gunner should be more voncealed by the turret and windsheild/armor.
As you can see I added the possibility of it being a Forerunner vehicle after I typed the other stuff up so its just in paretheses. If we go that direction the vehicle should be comprised of the angular pieces of metal that the Sentinels are made of but otherwise fit the description above.
other possibilties I left out (for various reasons, but still are open to)...
-invisibility (inspired by WISP idea)
-undectectable on motion sensor (inspired by WISP idea)
-lack of turret w/increased speed
-sheilding
-jump jets (substituted for boosting)
-ability to plant and fire long range spike lance (or energy lance) (inspired by Cobra from HW)
-ejection seat (combat ready when ejected)
-precision 360 turn (possibly sub for boosting)
this would whip the vehicle around very quickly carrying the same momentum it had at the same speed
-turret breakaway mode
this would detatch the turret and gunner into a standalone placed turret (similar looking to the turrets the covenant use on Tsavo Highway (image here) except made of same material as vehicle and smaller the main part of the vehicle would remain intact and funtional as a motorcycle-esque scout vehicle (still able to use the spring loaded blades)
-emp weaponry (inspired by the Gremlin (HW) and Bumblebee from the Transformers 2 game)
either a focussed beam weapon of area of effect burst that disables other vehicles
-invincible when boosting (inspired by Cannonball from X-men's ability)
-Flash ability
quick area of effect burst that leaves all surrounding enemies blinded
-Caltrop dispenser
-Oil slick
classic
-Pulse Cannon (substitute for turret)
would be a foreward facing blast that pushes and knocks all objects flying and dealing damage when the objects impact with other objects due to high velocity, blast would be semi-invisible comprised of noticeable ripples and shockwaves infront of the vehicle, I would recommend a single person vehicle if this is chosen
-some sort of flame weaonry
not sure it fits this vehicle, but its an interesting option for vehicles...
-Teammate teleport
not sure how to institute it but if you could teleport a teammate to you when your not moving it would provide valuable tactical options
-Brute shot cannon (sub for spiek cannon)
-Localized Gravity Burst
area of effect burst similar to slamming a gravity hammer, possible to institute with the boost
-Dampening Feild
area of effect burst or permanent area of effect that drains sheilds in close proximity, possible to institute with the boost
[Possible Vehicle Idea]
this idea arose while making this vehicle..
Boom Bike
Sleek motorcycle-esque UNSC vehicle with high speeds, high manueverability and no weaponry. however it has a mach accelerator (and.or mini-modified-shaw-fujika translight engine) that enables short quick boosts that cause small sonic booms...
done, for now...
open to speculation...
