Scarabs' armor were invulnerable to damage from [[90mm High Velocity Cannon|90mm shells]], [[102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank|102mm shaped charges]],.50 caliber rounds, and [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL HE missiles]]; the armor could be similar to the plating used on Covenant warships. In addition to the vehicle's main gun, two large anti-aircraft plasma weapons are mounted on top of the walkway; this weapon was used to neutralize the [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelicans]] ferrying [[John-117]] and his strike team while en route to [[Regret's Carrier|Regret's Assault Carrier]]. | Scarabs' armor were invulnerable to damage from [[90mm High Velocity Cannon|90mm shells]], [[102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank|102mm shaped charges]],.50 caliber rounds, and [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL HE missiles]]; the armor could be similar to the plating used on Covenant warships.

The model featured in ''Halo 2'' is often theorized to be a dedicated excavation platform (and was used as such in the game), in contrast to the more combat-ready model featured in ''Halo 3'', ''Halo Wars'', and ''Halo 3: ODST'', as it lacks many of the onboard weapons featured on the other model. Its size makes it considerably less maneuverable than the smaller variant, preventing it from engaging fast-moving targets while confined in narrow areas, such as city streets.

This handicap leaves it susceptible to boarding actions. | ||

If one can | If one can successfully manage to board the Scarab in ''Halo: Reach'', they will find that only the core of the Scarab can be destroyed. All other parts of the Scarab, including Plasma Cannons, cannot be destroyed. Destroying the core of the Scarab will also not destroy the Scarab itself. Instead, it will expose a hole in the Scarab, which bleeds orange Lekgolo blood if shot.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c7moeTlZEU</ref> | ||

However, on the previous level "[[The Ark]]", [[Rtas 'Vadum]] says, ''"Truth's fleet lies in ruins"''. It is possible that these were launched by a remaining ship as an unsuccessful final push to win the battle, or they could have been dropped from Truth's Dreadnought, which was not present in the main battle. | ||
*The ''Halo 3''-era Scarab was recreated in Halo ActionClix and is the largest figure ever made by Wizkids, the game's creator. A battle-damaged version was released at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con for $250, which included the Scarab, two outdoor maps, an indoor map (representing the Scarab's interior), four character cards, and rules for both the Scarab and the game itself. A normal one was also released at select retailers in November 2007. | *The ''Halo 3''-era Scarab was recreated in Halo ActionClix and is the largest figure ever made by Wizkids, the game's creator.

*A Scarab's explosion is extremely visible, as [[Rtas 'Vadum]] remarks how he saw the explosion of a Scarab from orbit, although it is probable that he may have been exaggerating or he was magnifying the battle from orbit. It is also possible that, due to the inclusion of both the Arbiter and the Master Chief in the battle, and the proximity to the map room on Installation 00, that he was paying particular attention to the battle. | *A Scarab's explosion is extremely visible, as [[Rtas 'Vadum]] remarks how he saw the explosion of a Scarab from orbit, although it is probable that he may have been exaggerating or he was magnifying the battle from orbit.
