*Strangely, every ''[[Halo]]'' game manual describes the tank as the M808B. This is odd since the ''Halo 3'' Scorpion is clearly a variant from the original tank. It is possible that this is because the Halo 3 tank is a variant of the same model. | *Strangely, every ''[[Halo]]'' game manual describes the tank as the M808B.

*In every Halo game the Scorpion's serial number is the [[Birthdate_on_Tank|birthdate]] of [[Marcus R. Lehto]], [[Bungie]]'s senior art director. | *In every Halo game the Scorpion's serial number is the [[Birthdate_on_Tank|birthdate]] of [[Marcus R. Lehto]], [[Bungie]]'s senior art director. | ||
*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', the Scorpion is specifically cited in the manuals for each respective game as firing 90mm HE shells. ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' claims that there are variants that fire 105mm shells. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', the Scorpion is specifically cited in the manuals for each respective game as firing 90mm HE shells.

*Underneath the turret of the Scorpion, there is a Jack-O-Lantern drawn in blood. This can be found by destroying the turret, then standing on the upside-down turret. | *Underneath the turret of the Scorpion, there is a Jack-O-Lantern drawn in blood.

*The Scorpion tank resembles an actual Scorpion with the front boogies being the pincers, the rear bogie's being the legs and the cannon being the tail and its stinger. However, this may refer to the FV101 Scorpion Light Tank used by the British Army in 1973. Ironically, the real-life British Scorpion tank is a light tank, compared to the Halo Scorpion heavy tank. However, later variants of the real-life Scorpion also featured a 90mm main weapon. | *The Scorpion tank resembles an actual Scorpion with the front boogies being the pincers, the rear bogie's being the legs and the cannon being the tail and its stinger.
