![]() It’s sheer insanity, and just a taste of what players and player-designers will be able to achieve with Forge. A vehicle big enough to park a Scorpion a Hog and two Mongooses inside, flipping around at incredible speeds and tumbling all over the map, releasing exploding cores and the occasional vehicle like some kind of satanic piñata.Īnd all the while, players have the ability to play a normal game variant in this environment. ![]() Explode it with a never-ending cascade of fusion cores and you have the most dangerous Halo item ever. Now the huge metal beastie is indestructible, but it has weight and mass in the game universe, so explode it enough and you can move it. What we didn’t expect was the effect it had on the Elephant physics. Now, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what kind of chain reaction this would cause once a single core was detonated. They had their respawn times set to as close to “instant” as Forge allows, so that every time one exploded, it respawned. He basically placed a RIDICULOUS number of exploding fusion cores on and inside the Elephant vehicle. The Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Elephant Troop Carrier 97381 is scheduled to be released in August 2014 at a retail price of $99.99.Petar, one of our engineers, found a saved film from one of our testers playing on Sandtrap. As a result, these aren’t my greatest photos ever. The set was on display at the very back of the table of Summer 2014 Halo Mega Bloks sets, with the boxes sample on the top shelf of the MEGA Brands booth, making this the hardest set of all to photograph at the show. Of all the items I saw at the 2014 Toy Fair last month, the new Halo Mega Bloks 2014 Elephant is unfortunately the single set that I regret taking the worst photos of. I’m never a fan of Commander Carter, but even I have to admit that he looks pretty slick and deadly operating the giant cannon atop the new UNSC Elephant Troop Carrier! Thanks MEGA Brands!Īlong with a giant cannon and winch, the back of the Halo Mega Bloks Summer 2014 UNSC Elephant can be opened to reveal (of course) a troop bay full of seats for your valiant UNSC soldiers to cruise into battle in. figure, in the form of a translucent figurine on a holographic table.įar more exciting for most fans, however, are the final two members of the Halo Reach Noble Squad: Halo Mega Bloks Jun and Carter! Along with the Emile figure also being released in the summer, we’ll finally have all six Noble Squad members in Halo Mega Bloks action figure form!Īnd because these three are debuting in the summer, all of them will feature the new, super-poseable figure bodies. The new Summer 2014 UNSC Elephant Mega Bloks set will include the first-ever Serina A.I. If the theme of the MEGA Brands booth for New York Toy Fair was “things I never thought I’d see made”, we can add three more to the list with this Mega Bloks Halo Elephant Troop Transport set: figures of Carter, Jun and Serina!įor those who don’t recall Halo Wars (or who didn’t play it–shame on you), Serina is the main A.I. Well, not only is the UNSC Elephant returning to stores, but it’s doing so in the form of a completely redesigned form! Whereas the original Mega Bloks Elephant was based on the Elephant’s appearance in Halo 3, the new and improved Halo Mega Bloks 2014 UNSC Elephant Troop Transport 97381 is the Halo Wars version, based on my personal favorite Halo game. The 2011 Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Elephant set tended to warm shelves and ended up being clearances out from many retailers at half-price, so I truly didn’t think we’d ever see another UNSC Elephant Mega Bloks set at retail. I began my coverage of the Halo Mega Bloks Toy Fair 2014 sets with a Halo Wars set–my beloved Flame Warthog–so it’s only fitting that I conclude with another Halo Wars Mega Bloks set.
