So people have questions about the tank seen at Toy Fair. Allow me to answer some questions for you. For one, it’s NOT called a Scorpion. This I was told directly by Mega. Doubtful they’d mislead me on that. The camouflage bloks have a better mix of colors as noted by the pics below. Only the Red Spartan and Blue Elite come with the set. Now let’s move on to the pics I took while at Toy Fair.<\/p>\n

Below shows the tank itself. Make note of the Spartan included. It\u00a0has a Protector helmet, and what looks to also be Protector torso armor. IIRC the shoulder armor is Ranger\u00a0or Orbital. I didn’t get an answer on that one.

\n<\/a>Also note the blok color. It’s that nice moss green we’ve recently gotten. However, it now has a better mixed paint distribution showing strands of black and grey instead of splotches of those colors.<\/p>\n

IN the next pic, it’s more of a top down shot. I’m really liking the turret construction here.

\n<\/a>This next pic shows the Spartan slightly better.

The next two side views give us a better look at the armored treads.\"UNSC<\/a>\"UNSC
\n<\/a>The Spartan with the green visor in the above pic does NOT come with this set.<\/p>\n

A front view. The biggest thing to note are the treads. They are quite different from previous tank treads.\"UNSC
\n<\/a>As you see above and below, we once again (and happily I might add) the blue Halo 4 Storm Elite. He comes with a Storm Rifle and can man a turret.

Now since I’ve been told the name of this tank is not the ‘Scorpion’, I and I”m sure you too are wondering what this may be called. We’ve had other tank names before, like the Grizzly. With Scorpion and Grizzly not being related, it’s hard to guess what the tank above might be called. Peronally, I like the name Kodiak. Grizzly refers to a bear. The Kodiak bear is even bigger than a Grizzly (due to the extra amount of protein it gets from Salmon) and yes, I googled that last part.<\/p>\n

So what do you folks think of it? I am totally digging it.<\/p>\n
