What would Halo be without those small vehicles to help us maintain map control, or finish a mission in campaign more quickly? Mega Bloks is bringing us several new sets in this category. We have the Gungoose, a Ghost with a special rider, more drops pods and two more UNSC Cyclops.

Okay, let’s get to it. The Gungoose was first announced for the Halo Master Chief Collection. Since it’s announcement, people have been excited to try it out. Mega Bloks has made their version of it and it looks fun!

Is that a black armor colored Spartan??? The only thing I do not like with this set are those two plates over the guns near the front of the Gungoose. I won’t put them on my set, when I get one.

Drop pods have been a mainstay for sometime, not only in the games, but for Mega Bloks as well. Below we have four new ones coming to us. Following along the popular ‘teethed’ helmet theme from last year, we are getting Green, Arctic and Black ODST drop pods, not to mention a Blue Covenant Elite drop pod. Man, I’m SO very happy we’re getting that Elite again. I really wanted to build up a small army of them!

Jul ‘Mdama is coming folks and he’s riding in on a Ghost! This is another rebuild of the popular Covenant Ghost. The side wings have been augmented to add shape instead of being flat as they’ve been in past Mega Bloks models.The symbol on the helmet is painted on. That’s my only bummer for this set as I was hoping for a translucent piece. But I sure as heck am getting it. The Ghost looks great and I HAVE to have all of the named characters in my collection.

What would another year be without more UNSC Cyclops. While many fans are getting tired of the mold, I have to say I think at least one of these is going to be a GREAT seller. Can you guess which one??? Hmm, let me ‘flood’ you with some ideas…This Flood infected Cyclops is only the second Flood infected vehicle to date. The first being the ghost from last year’s Flood Invasion set, which I reviewed here. This Cyclops os fantastic. That Halo 4 style infected Spartan looks VERY cool. Man, I want a squad of those little dudes. That infected Cyclops arm though…Wow, it looks like it can do some damage.

Here’s a closeup shot of the figure:

And another shot of the cyclops:

We also get this red and silver Cyclops. I DO know the name of this set but was told not to reveal it…Dang it. I enjoy knowing this info, but not begin able to share it drives me (and I’m sure some of you) up a wall…

That’s a look at the small vehicles and ships. What sets do you think you’ll be buying from these? Of course I’m going to get all of them.
