Talk:Deutoros-pattern Scarab: Difference between revisions

Here's something to think about.  Scarabs were designed for mining, not combat.  The ones used in Halo 2 were just makeshift weapons that Regret deployed.  The major refinement to the legs in the screenshot seems to be extra armor - as could be the purple plating.  This may be because they're adapting something that proved effective in combat to a combat role, or it could be the Brutes' natural instinct to destroy everything showing through.  That could also, easily, explain the new thing on the tail of it - which looks like a weapon emplacement that could have been added. --[[User:Forgottenlord|Forgottenlord]] 18:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

:Perhaps a comment should be added to the article about the dispute about what it is.  If it ends up not being a Scarab, we can update appropriately when the game is released --[[User:Forgottenlord|Forgottenlord]] 18:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
