Summed Up Objective: Obtain ONE BOB medal per campaign mission.
Sorry for some repeats in the post, trying to emphasize important key facts and sum things up as best as I can.
I consider myself a BOB fanatic. Me and my crew HRS know every spawn, on every level, on every difficulty for BOB. I understand how he works, and how much it takes to kill BOB. Now, I think people on Bungie.net and people who play Reach aren't looking at the BOBS the way I do.
The campaign had no skull collectables, and the skulls from Halo 3 unlocked armor, Hayabusa. I consider the BOBS to be "moving, interactive, skulls." There is a BOB on each level, and for the two levels (Exodus and New Alexandria) he is in a Banshee. (Proof: Under his description he is named as an Elite "Light" Vehicle.") I personally have killed one BOB per level on Normal, and now I'm two levels off killing each BOB on Legendary.
Before I elaborate deeper, each BOB gives you a medal, Bungie is having a lot of daily challenges for us to kill BOB on Heroic+, and these BOBS don't just appear as you progress through the level, they also appear behind you. On Long Night of Solace for example, as you move toward the Sabre, turn around in the level and head back to the beach. You will notice the beach is STILL full of activity. Now here is the fun part, kill three waves on the beach of enemies, and watch each wave. Each wave gets harder and harder. On wave 3, and toward the end, BOB will randomly drop in a drop pod, and disappear within two-three seconds. Bungie has programmed SO many unique spawns for the BOBS, I doubt it's just for fun or nothing.
BOBS descriptions tell you to "Wipe them out" "Seek and Destroy" and to simply kill them all. This is a reference to a Marathon Vidmaster, and to the secret of the BOBS, to find and kill them all on Legendary, just as you would wipe them out on Marathon. The Vidmaster also tells us to hit all switches and so on, but I think this doesn't matter. What we have to do Bungie.net is to kill ONE BOB per level, and make sure we get the "BOB" medal for each and every mission. This is why nothing has happened, because getting the BOB medal for the Banshee kills isn't possible. Yet Bungie states the BOB in the Banshee is a BOB, but it has NO pilot when destroyed and you don't get the medal.
Hackers destroyed one of the most secret, long term Easter Eggs of Halo 3: The IWHBYD skull. This was meant to take AGES to find. Hackers ruined it pretty quickly. Don't you think Bungie would have stepped up their game against the hackers for Halo: Reach? This is my personal theory, the BOB helmet.
Picture of the comparison here
The picture above is of the BOB eye piece from Marathon, and this secret helmet. This helmet is on the disk hidden away along with the chest piece we have seen in so many pictures. The screenshot was from IGN and IGN does not fake screenshots for the pubic. This picture was used on the Dashboard and has had a lot of attention. BS Angel from the Waypoint forums told us that "She can't tell us how to get the helmet, that would take the fun away from finding out how to get it." (Summed up quote) I doubt this means it will be unlocked via a patch in the future, this means the helmet works like Hayabusa did, get a BOB medal PER mission on Heroic+ and you get the armor pieces.
BOB has one-three unique spawns per mission, and they aren't normal spawns. Bungie has programmed some BOBS to be VERY hard to find, like the BOB on The Long Night of Solace. The secret helmet resembles the BOB eye piece from Marathon. Bungie is trying to help us along to killing these BOBS through daily challenges and is trying to bring attention to them weekly. The descriptions are to kill them all. BOB is VERY strong, probably the strongest enemy in the campaign shield and health wise, he flees, spawns secretly, and can vanish in thin air. He IS on each mission, and in a Banshee on two, which doesn't yield the medal for killing him.
The point is: Get the BOB Medal on each campaign mission, have each BOB kill register for each mission, get the helmet. Think of Hayabusa, a skull on each mission gets you the helmet. Hackers ruined IWBYD, Bungie isn't letting this happen in Reach.
Our goal: A BOB medal on each mission: So get out there and kill some BOBS! A list of BOB on each mission WILL go up today showing everyone of his spawns. We need to wipe these out.

I am intrigued, and hereby saves thread!
