Kevin Hurd, a fellow Halo fan found this on instagram.
I’ve made a close-up of the set also pictured below the Drone. It looks like it has two Drones, a semi truck AND the NEW articulated Kat and Jorge figs! If this turns out to be true, then we’ll have all of Noble team minus the base Noble Six Spartan.
[UPDATE] It seems the set number and name is 97511 Covenant Empire Drone Attack and will retail for $29.99. [/UPDATE]
Check out the pic below:
No official word on price or availability yet. Again, this was on instagram. Is it a hoax? I sure hope not. I and many other Halo Mega Bloks fans have been wanting the Drone for quite some time now.
Also, this drone is tan. It leaves room for reissues in green as well as the red version.
For now, treat this as not factual until Mega has an official reply.

Ho-lee CRAP!!! That is SO AWESOME!!! I want 5 of these! The new drone figs are fantastic, the other two members of NOBLE are great, but most of all, I’m stoked for that truck! I’ve been wanting more civie-themed sets for battlescape dioramas forever. Now we’re finally getting some!! Woo hoo!
Looking at the arm on the right, it appears there is a ball joint at the shoulder….is 2015 possibly going to show off newly articulated Covenant?
Yes indeed. The Drone looks to have the new articulation. The Prophet from the Shadow set has ball joints. You can see that figure here: http://halofanforlife.com/wp-content/uploads/MB-Shadow-Truth-ORTHO.jpg
it is not ball joints if is being rotated/moved by a peg
That’s right. Did you see the shoulder/elbow joints of the drone? Those are ball joints.
idk, from what I saw and see ;)…they look like pegs…and the wrist and thigh armor look like they come off too.
Whatever you may have “saw” might have been a prototype. It doesn’t matter to me. Hinge or ball joint, I’ll just be glad to finally have the Drones added into Halo Mega Bloks!
