While the [[Type-47B Scarab]] did ultimately make its way into the final game as a low-poly background entity on the levels [[Tip of the Spear]] and [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]] (with the latter level also featuring a more detailed. non-interactive setpiece Scarab at one point in the mission), early ideas for the game's campaign were to have the player character able to ''drive'' the Scarab. Early ideas for the level New Alexandria would have seen the player drive the Scarab in the remains of the post-[[glassing]] city. Prototypes for the Scarab were made and the physics involved described by Chris Ophdal as "sweet", though the Scarab was ultimately considered unsustainable - especially with the high engine cost needed to run the level. Ultimately, the drivable Scarab was scrapped and New Alexandria was transformed into an aerial mission focusing on the [[Falcon]] instead.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-halo-reach-tech-interview?page=3|Site=Eurogamer|Page=Tech Interview: Halo: Reach - Page 3|D=11|M=9|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Commentary|HR|Detail=[[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|Legendary Edition]] developer commentary}} | While the [[Type-47B Scarab]] did ultimately make its way into the final game as a low-poly background entity on the levels [[Tip of the Spear]] and [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]] (with the latter level also featuring a more detailed. non-interactive setpiece Scarab at one point in the mission), early ideas for the game's campaign were to have the player character able to ''drive'' the Scarab.

[[Cut Halo: Reach dialogue|Cut dialogue]] for the missions Tip of the Spear and [[Exodus]] shows that early plans for these levels were for both to feature Scarab encounters similar to those featured in ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', though all were cut. | |||
