The ''Wuchek''-pattern Spectre was developed for, and ultimately one of several [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|cut vehicles]] from the pre-release era of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', with several pieces of concept art and in-game footage showcased at [[Halo E3 2000 trailer|E3 2000]]. At the time of its development, the vehicle was named the "Shadow", a name that would later be applied to [[Ruwaa-pattern Shadow|a Covenant troop transport vehicle]] introduced in ''[[Halo 2]]''. ''Halo 2'' would also see the introduction of the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}}, based heavily on the cut "Shadow" but given a significant redesign. | |||
The vehicle was restored as part of the [[Digsite|Digsite Alpha]] initiative and later canonised in [[2022]] as the ''Wuchek''-pattern Spectre.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} In [[2023]], the restored Spectre was released for use in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' modding via the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]'' as a fully functioning vehicle, featuring an operational driver, gunner and passenger seat. For simplicity, the vehicle was renamed from its in-development "Shadow" name to the Spectre in the fixed-up files.{{Ref/Site|Id=DSDeliveries|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-deliveries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Deliveries - Halo: MCC|D=07|M=07|Y=2023}} | |||
