Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories Thread (The #1 Search Topic)

A. im chill just tired of seeing the same posts repeatedly

B. That chest piece on squad slayer is clearly collar breacher. Its almost 100% identifiable by the pic only way you could confuse it is if you don't know what collar breacher looks like or you have a low-def television (old boob tube)

C. Just wait a little longer I posted the dates you wil be hearing some kind of new halo information soon enough.

June 7th-9th E3 expo 343i will be present bungie will not

July 7th Bungie day (should be the last halo related one)

July 21st-24st Comic Con should have some halo stuff but not much on reach other then news about marvels rendition of TFoR

Aug 26th-28th PaxPrime halo fest will be celebrating halo's tenth anniversary

In Halo 3, there was skulls on the downloadable map packs, is there anything B.O.B related hiding in the Reach map packs? Just a thought.

False, the chest piece in the photograph is NOT collar/breacher which is the one with a row of shotgun shells on your upper chest etc. what gives this away is the strange black markings on the chest and its shape.

I assure you I am not trolling and if you look at the person in the front of the squad slayer pic that chest piece is as I have found out so far unobtainable.

Even matching all of my colors so they were Blue like the picture I couldn't find a remote chestpiece with any similiarities in the very limited space you can see of the picture.


I'll put a pic on my file share showing you the chest piece, it's collar/breacher.

EDIT: there, it's called slayer, they're quite clearly the same chest piece.


it's clearly not the same

I THINK I found a new BOB at the Pillar of Autumn :O

I was playing on Normal difficulty to try some shortcuts for the upcoming LASO mission, at the point after the buggers I grenade jumped op the right ledge and suddenly I was facing a BOB!

To be clear, it's not the BOB you'll find at the 'scorpion spawn'!

Screenshot: on the left you'll see some random elites and on the right you'll see the BOB with its shields flickering

Shields are up because I was shooting him as seen in the video below.

A short clip of me walking and finding the BOB

Also got the Bungie.net medal for it.

If needed I can render the video, if the BOB is already found before I won't render and return to my cave... :P

  • 05.17.2011 3:20 PM PDT

I believe that BOB was already known about...

Been playing since pong, and you?

Ok guys I have identified what the BOB helmet, and new chest piece are. The monical over the right eye, and the face mask are an attachment to the new helmet. If you remove the attachment I believe the helmets indentity will be very clear. I have taken a sreenshot in Halo3 for you all to consider. I think you will be very happy at what I found. I do not know how to unlock the helmet, and new chest piece. What I do know is that Bungie is a business , and we are it's consumers. I believe these new pieces of armour will be unlocked after the release of a new map pack. Hey they got to pay the bills right. Anyway lets get to it. I believe the BOB armours are a early Hyabusa type. I hope the OP can photobucket these screenshots together for comparison.

BOB and Hyabusa

Yes the Hyabusa crown is missing. However several points are present. Look at the small visors. The cheek vents are similar. Furthermore both chest pieces have a high collar, and a structure that continues down near the waiste. I believe this is the Y structure on the Hyabusa chest piece we have come to love. I believe I have solved what the BOB armours are. Please feel free to comment.

Fix your link.

And seriously, with the number of armor pieces out there, there are bound to have some that are based off others/look like others.

Hayabusa was more of a "promotional" armor for DoA4 i beleive.

In case you didn't know, DoA stands for Dead or Alive.
A game witch the devs placed a spartan in.
Bungie, thankfull, placed the Hayabusa armor in H3.
It didn't realy have its place in H3 and shure as hell doesn't have it in Reach.

I am aware Busa was a promo. Thats why the new helmet will be different enough to be a new helmet. But Busa has become an H3 favorite, and the new helmet will harken back to the H3 times. The community will be very happy when they get it back.

Please do not generalize the community as there is a larger than you think population that think Hayabusa was "trash" and should of been a "never-has-been" armor.

And from my personnaly stand point, most people i noticed that want hayabusa back are under-aged gamers.

If you want something done give me a Spartan Lazer Cannon and a few seconds. Spartens Dont Die the just go missing in action.
Standup for the little guys!

if the flying bobs are not bobs for the bob helment why not try the place in New alexander when you get ambushed in that one place forget the name and keep killing the bugs maybe a bob will showup after you kill a few waves or so if they all just dont die well thats my 2 cents hope it helps good luck out there....

The link is fixed. I do not mean to generalize. the community. I simply mean many Reach gamers said they missed it. It is personally not my favorite. However I do have a way of finding things. Most of the things in my fileshare, and screenshot history are original Easter eggs. I believe I have the all time record for most finds. To me this is just another discovery.

Difference between actually finding stuff, and making ones up.
This BoB = Hayabusa is i believe one that is being made up.

I went to see the ones in your file share and i do have to say i didn't know those lol.

Don't be silly. You're not wrong because nobody is agreeing with you, you're wrong because your points are weak and poorly supported. The fact that people disagree with you is a symptom of being wrong, not the cause or the proof of it. Canary in the coal mine, so to speak.

I see how you drew this conclusion, however, I don't believe that this is the case.
The OP describes quite clearly the argument that the BOB helmet is based on Marathon BOBs, and frankly, that argument has a great deal more credibility. Any similarities between 'BOB' and Hayabusa are, I believe, purely aesthetic and coincidental.

  • 05.17.2011 11:10 PM PDT

Just to be sure, with the flying Bobs do you get medals for them on Bnet?

Reason for asking is, if you do then, although we may not have found walking Bobs for Exodus and NA, perhaps you don't have to, i was thinking that, there could be Bobs waiting to be found in the Firefight levels? Perhaps this is part to the puzzle that we are missing? Any thoughts?

No they don't.
But some medals are "broken".

  • 05.18.2011 11:42 AM PDT

Boo! Did I scared u?

Did anyone ever consider that there could be brute BOBs? Brutes with the same AI as BOBs, most likely with shields.
Just a thought.

  • 05.18.2011 11:55 AM PDT

I heard this was Sparta but I am obviously mistaken...

Its been more than just a thought for a while now.

Bob is disguised as a marine of course

Do you think the marine in the reflection area of NA who is cowering has anything to do with it? Press switches and kill him for the medal?

  • 05.18.2011 12:59 PM PDT

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Has anyone confirmed that buck is invincible? I still believe that buck has something to do with the BOB

1) I think he was kidding, and
2) You don't get the medal for killing that guy. I've activated all easter eggs on NA before plus killed that guy and nothing.
