Subject: New Covy Massive Walking Mech Thing?

"I Prefer Warm Halo, Sauted in Awesomesauce"

I was looking at the BWU and in the image found this.
http://www.mediafire.com/i/?g8mnzevpzfmg7el

Is it just me or does that look like a giant, bipedal scarab.

No matter how hard i try i can't find another covy vehicle that fits that except maybe a really big AA Gun.

Ideas?

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Looks like a Locust.

Locusts are Quadrupeds, not Bipeds. They also don't have that profile.

It's the closest vehicle to the one in the picture. Either that or the Gorgon, which I highly doubt.

Or a cut vehicle Bungie didn't tell us about. I don't know.

The third option is the likeliest.

There are two of them shown at different angles. They are indeed bipedal.

intreasting although bungie could have just made that to get fans riled up like we are now or their hinting at a vehicle 343 might be introducing?

It's a concept art piece, wouldn't look too much into it, but probably a concept for a locust like vehicle.

"How you like them pears? Guess what I mean by pears."

Explain the Ghost, Wraith, Revenant, and Banshee.

Those aren't walkers.

  • 01.28.2011 8:06 PM PDT

those are not covenant walkers so theyre names are irrelevant at the time

  • 01.28.2011 8:06 PM PDT

:) someone gets it

  • 01.28.2011 8:07 PM PDT

Check out that concept art page blog thing there is a better picture of it.

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

Just looks like a Super Scarab to me.

Too small

I wish bungie would have put a scene like that in game with big vehicle battles,something the game lacks

  • 01.29.2011 2:47 AM PDT

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

I think it needs a supernatural spiritual name, like all the others have, like a "Poltergiest" or "Rugaroo" (That made up? That sounds made up...)

Either way its a concept piece im guessing, the image was likely chosen due to the increase in released concept art, so im guessing it was pulled from the game

I wonder when, and if theres any evidence on the reach disk...

Ghost names apply to most Covenant vehicles, but the two other Walkers (Scarab, Locust) are named after insects.

Ironically, insects of ancient egypt, The scarab being a guardian of spirits and the locust being, well, i omen of death :P

So maybe an egyptian insect name? no one likes "Rugaroo?" :P

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.
