REAP-X was initially announced by [[MEGA Brands]] through an email to Bloks Brigade members.{{Ref/Reuse|Special Report}} The organization was announced with three new Mega Bloks builds. The builds were of never-before-seen vehicles, the UNSC Siege Bike, the UNSC Light Assault VTOL, and the UNSC Quad Walker. At the time it was unknown if the organization and vehicles were intended to be canon or if they were created solely by Mega Bloks, similar to [[McFarlane Toys]]' [[Hellspartan project|Hellspartan]] figure. In a Q&A edition of the [[Halo Bulletin]], [[Frank O'Connor]] confirmed that REAP-X itself is canonical and that the vehicles were created in collaboration with [[343 Industries]]; however, MEGA Brands were given considerable latitude in the vehicles' designs. O'Connor hinted that the vehicles also canonically exist, though not with the exaggerated aesthetic of the toys.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/03/28/The-Halo-Bulletin-32813.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 3/28/13''] (defunct, backup on [http://halo.bungie.org/halobulletins/91 Halo.bungie.org])</ref>
