Is it just me or are those video's up on youtube a little flawed? The guy says there is only one BOB per level but they spawn in diff locations and yet, You drive fast enough on L2 WC and you find one BOB with a Concussion Rifle, knock him down, keep going and you come into contact with a BOB holding a Plasma Repeater all in a single playthrough all in one game. Next time I go through it I will save the vid.
As for Banshee BOB's, I have seen a couple of people co-op the thing. One kicks the guy out of the Banshee while another uses a couple of head shots via a sniper rifle. Yes, the whole thing was done on Martin1418's Devkit but still, it counts.
Find me proof, I will shower you with cookies. As it stands, We know that 1: there is one bob per level. and 2: the bobshees can't be high jacked.

So, anyway, this is an update of an earlier post of mine with some more interesting info I've collected, and some notes to address certain people's queries who have PM'd me:
Note #1: The invisible elite at the beginning of Winter Contingency is not a BOB.
Note #2: you cannot highjack the BOBshees.
Winter Contingency Gold ranger elite
Some BOBs only seem to spawn on Legendary (with Concussion Rifles), Easy-Heroic BOBs will spawn with Plasma Repeaters.
It's been found that on winter contingency that there are 7 unique spawn points for BOB:
BOB ID Location Description
1-W-02 (Western Complex, Building labeled "2")
1-W-B5 (Western Complex, Building labeled "B5")
1-W-07 (Western Complex, Building labeled "7")
1-E-B5 (Eastern Complex, Building labeled "B5")
1-E-06 (Eastern Complex, Building labeled "6")
1-N-07 (Northern Complex, Building labeled "7")
1-N-ST (Northern Complex, "storeroom" area behind broken wall in northwest corner)
ONI Sword Base White with random armor variants
1: Dual-weilding Plasma Rifles, completely out in the open in the Sword Base Courtyard outside the Hunters' lair.
2: The second one is on an upper level inside the base, in the room with the datapad.
Nightfall Gold ranger elite
1: An agressive BOB at the first major settlement,
2: An aggresive BOB where you first help the militia spawns on top of the building in the back, and tends to jump off of it pretty quickly.
3: Another agressive BOB in the Powerhouse area, spawns on the bridge above the Rocket Launcher.
Tip of the Spear Gold ranger elite
1: On a hill on the left side of the road right before the first AA gun
2: An agressive BOB with a Fuel Rod spawns in one of three places on the run up to the spire right after crashing your Falcon into the sheild.
Long Night of Solace Gold ranger elite
1: One exits from a drop pod after you've fought your way up the beach. Usually disappears instantly, but sometimes joins in the fight.
2: When first entering the Corvette's Hangar, to open it up for Jeorge's Pelican.
3: There's sometimes one at the controls of the Corvette's bridge
4: Another can appear when you return to the Hangar, on the ground floor.
Exodus bobshee
One of three places: one as you're crossing the gap after getting the rocket launcher and sniper rifle, One as you're loading the civilians onto the pelican and one as you're crossing the bridge after activating the anti-air guns.
New Alexandria bobshee
Known to spawn in a few different positions northwest (relative to your starting position facing north, I think) of club errerra and one next to where you first start the level, they spawn about 5 mins in.
The Package Gold ranger elite and bobshee
1: A BOB with a Concussion Rifle spawns at the very start of rally point Alpha, around to the left near the bridge. To get to him in time, sidestep the Elites and Grunts already engaged with your fellow Spartans by hugging the left wall until you hit a ramp. Quickly go up it and nade the Jackals first so you can get some alone time with the bob.
2: A BOB has been found at the eighth Data Pad,right next to the button you push in the Atrium that initiates the cutscene to Halsey's Lab.
3: A BOB may spawn while you are defending Halsey's lab from the Covenant, around the time Halsey states, "The Package is almost ready, just a little more." He is dropped off down the left hand path along with a wraith.
bobshee: during the firefight to secure Halsey's lab, a bobshee will spawn for a few seconds up near the 'ceiling', and needs to be taken out with the spartan laser very quickly.
Pillar of Autumn Gold ranger elite
1: This BOB can be found directly after Rally Point Alpha, under the building with the first generators in an Invasion match.
2: A BOB can be found where the Scorpian/Warthog would spawn in Invasion on Boneyard. From inside the building above the other spawn point, you can easily snipe him, though he takes a few shots.
Lone Wolf Gold ranger elite
1: A VERY aggresive BOB will spawn at with a sword. It can take the killing of 40 enemies depending on your difficulty level just to get him to spawn and even then, he has double overshields and you still have to fight the other covenant troops.
So going on my theory that the bobshees and the ONI BOB count as being akin to the silver skulls and the others gold skulls, we have 7 gold (missing two) and four silver...
Alternately, The ONI BOB may be a gold skull BOB, meaning we have Eight (missing one) and Three bobshees (also missing one).
The only places left for a BOB are Exodus or NA, hence my conviction that we've missed something. Bobshees, on the other hand could be in pretty much any level as far as I know, though probably not in Exodus, NA or on the package.
Personally, I feel that the last one may be on exodus, in an area that was removed from the final game, but that's only because I keep seeing doors that are supposedly unlocked, but don't open and because we're running around, for the most part, as opposed to flying around the map, but that's just me.
