- I'm so excited to finally share this one!! The Scorpion is such a quintessential halo vehicle and I'm glad I now feel like I've done it justice in its brick form. This took almost 2 months on and off (mostly on) to get done and is the longest build I have shared so far.
I've said most of what I want to say in the video, but ultimately, I don't see a reason why MEGA shouldn't consider ultra detailed vehicle sets. I think this is a prime example of how detail doesn't necessarily mean fragile. Who knows, maybe one day!
If you're down here reading the description, then I'll let you in on a little secret. I've spent the last while expanding bases/film sets as I plan things on just getting bigger and better (maybe not every video though!) A like, comment and sub would go a long way to helping me potentially keep expanding size and scope of what I make, who knows where this might go!
Cheers!

Here's a shot in the dark that mega blok has never even attempted with its Halo sets what if instead of storage compartments you swapped it out for battle damaged pieces like that back vent which is the weak spot on the tanks swap it out for like a flamed damaged version.
Phwoar! Really had to push to get this one out the door! Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you guys enjoyed the video. I just want to say a thank you to everyone who has watched, liked, subbed and commented this year, its awesome to see people as interested in this as I am. It means a lot, and I'm always interested in hearing what you guys have to say in the comments (even if I don't reply much, sorry about that!). Until next video, take care and enjoy the holidays.
Awesome work, all your MOCs impress me with not only the scale/accuracy but all the advanced techniques/angles you use. If you don’t mind me asking, which sets do you source most of your parts from? Mega doesn’t make too many in that forest green color lately lol
Thank you. Honestly I can't really help with sets as there are far to many to keep track of. The main ones for this would be the Cybertruck, halo 5 pelican, halo 4 scorpion sting, and original Falcon, but there are likely bits from far more other sets. I'm not fussed about keeping any official MEGA set built (unless they come out with a UCS style line) so everything I get fairly quickly gets sorted into parts bins for mocs. Most of my pieces are acquired from used ebay listings and the like as its the most cost efficient way to acquire the most pieces, but everything after 2015-16 dries up in the UK so the bulk of my parts are from sets around then or before.
The poor private who was constantly hazed when he has to retrieve the shovel😂
Absolutely amazing. The best UNSC ground vehicle in your skillful style. Now the real question, do you have have plans for a figure scale Pelican, and will it be able to support a Scorpion on its cargo hold?
I wouldn't say I have plans for it per se 😉 and oof that'll be a tall order. I did go into the design of this with a "connection hardpoint" in mind, but it never presented itself during the build. Maybe one day though.
Man makes me wish there was a UCS Halo MEGA line
This. I kind of said it in the video but the demographic of Halo is older now (18- 35 odd). So I imagine they'd capture a market of people willing to spend if the sets were worthy of premium prices. I also find many of their build techniques are still quite simplistic. I think by pushing the boat out on advanced techniques (to enable more features / detail especially) they'd also garner a little more respect in the brick building community in general.
Man, your mocs are just absolutely flawless & everything I want a Mega set to be. After your warthog, falcon, & hornet mocs I was really blown away for the amount of detail & functionality your mocs have on such a small scale. But after seeing your scorpion I see you have the proportions perfectly scaled & thats imo reallly damn impressive. Cannot wait to see what you tackle down next! Would like to see how you handle a pelican, an elephant (a bit extreme ik 😅), or even some covenant vehicles. But just to add, I have been watching for a while & noticed your side builds with the crates & jerrycan builds. Their really nice peices of scenery so Id think itd be also cool to see how you buid Halo's UNSC barricades, crates, etc. Would also be interesting to see some of Halo's civillian vehicles like the cargo trucks in Reach or the futuristic cars in ODST. You have a lot of potential as a fantastic MOC builder & I cant wait too see what you have to create next!
(Just wanna add, the Elephant Sandnest set is on sale on Amazon, so if you wanted some tank track pieces Id recommend copping at least 1, or you can be like me & buy 4 😂)
Thank you. Great ideas! More scenery is definitely on the agenda at some point, as are logistics vehicles. Elephant is a little out of my budget (even on sale), especially in the UK unfortunately. I also find it hard to justify the expense as I have no need for any metallic green, kinda wish I could buy the set sans green bricks so I could get just the figures, treads, grey and detail pieces. 😅
Bro, you continue to amaze me with your MOCs! Theyre so dang accurate to the game and I absolutely love it!
Btw, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thanks, or should I say "Tanks"!
@@HaloReforger lol😂
You know the moc is going to be good when someone makes a video with the full story.
Holy shit I never knew I had a first wave HW Skorpion! Got a bin full of legos a few years ago and found some of, if not all, the pieces in it (some 4x2, the hatch, the tread guards, and some other pieces).
i think a primary reason why the tracks don't move super well is because they're inside out. there's no tread pattern visible, and the guide horns are in the outside.
You're right about them being inverted. To achieve the low profile, I had to use bar pieces rather than wheels in some of the tread assembly. These interfered with the guide horns making them harder to move when not inverted. Not ideal, but hopefully when I can adjust tread length with the new interlocking tread pieces (at some point). I can update the design to have proper rolling treads.
Mega needs to hire you
wake up the new reforger video just dropped
Loving these series!!!
Looks incredible, and merry Christmas!
God this thing is just so damn beautiful looking, I need one so badly now lol
Absolutely insane! Super impressed
dude this is freaking amazing!
the nostalgia looks so good the details do a short battle video please.
Great graphics footage and an awesome build , thanks for sharing
Absolutely beautiful video for Christmas. Merry Christmas dude!
Good LORD man this is amazing
A whole new type of Halo content to consume for me thanks!
This is just epic! Your mocs just capture the in-game models with such accuracy and precision that its a work of art. I wish that I collected Mega sets before. I haven't played any HALO games before, but the universe just meshes with what I like.
Hope that you continue with your mocs, all the best to yah.
Why are you so good at this? It's crazy
This is awesome, you did a great job bringing the Scorpion to life! Love that you focused on the H3 variant too as I'm not a fan of the massive vents on the side reach replaced the spare track links with.
Just discovered ur channel. I’m upset I didn’t see it sooner. Hands down the best MEGA mocs I’ve ever seen. The accuracy and detailing is insanely well done
Surprised it took me this long to stumble upon your channel but I have to say this is excellently executed and I think you are very underrated as a result.
Enjoy a new subscriber! :D
Really awesome
Great work! You should try and make a Kodiak
That is amazing
I abosolutely love the amount of effort and attention to detail you put into this build, truly unlike anything we've seen from MEGA. Keep up the amazing work! Another thing I love seeing from you is you always try to raise the bar with each build because you never conform to just "good enough" or the bare minimum you always go back to the drawing board and find new ways to improve your work which again I love to see!
My goal is to always eek out the most possible detail and functionality as possible from a brick built model, so thanks, your comment is really appreciated!
My goodness it is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! I wish you had step by step instructions and all the parts needed in a list. This is like Lego UCS quality right here! The fact that Mega doesn’t have a similar line kills me. I’d love to build one of these for my desk.
I love this dude
Outstanding.
Yours is the best scorpion model in my opinion. That's why I don't have a scorpion, they are nowhere near how they look in game
Awesome model, also are the tank treads inside out?
This is amazing! Even though it would be very difficult to make something like this with aftermarket parts, I would still love to see instructions for this or a build very similar to this just to have a chance at getting a scorpion this good. But who knows, maybe Mega will eventually make an elite/pro builder series for Halo sets to fix the scale of figures and vehicles.
Dude. You are amazing reallly love this MOC very accurate ! Hope to see instructions one day :D
We need this
i need this. Give this to me. this is a threat
seriously amazing job. always like the H3 version best
yooooo, reforger upload 🥳🥳🥳. i'm always waiting for you to upload🤧
Merry Christmas! Maybe a snow backdrop and ground would be nice, yknow, for winter season
The halo 5 scorpion mega blocks set was actually pretty good. At least functionally it is this way.
It’s beautiful…
Sick
Shiela is lookin' beutiful today!
I love this. My personal favorite Scorpion model is the one from Halo Wars. Maybe one day you could one-up the Mega version of that tank?
The detail is crazy man, sucks mega can’t get this level of detail without quality control and pricing issues.
Imagine having an auto load in the front internal department, That Reforger said was empty.
Let's go bro made Sheila from rvb
I love your builds and I’ve only seen 2 videos of yours 😂 I want BLUE PRINTS FOR THESE 🤩 for all your builds will you make instructions on how ?
Ultra Ego is definitely a better name.
i dont wanna be that guy, but the treads are inside out. but other then that, this is amazing.
Maybe you could stick on the Warthog machine gun turret to make it look more like a turret for the gunner?
Awooga
New to the channel, AWESOME build. Is there a way to get instructions or a kit/brick list to try my own hand at one?
I think the scorpion would classfi as a heavy adult tank like the American tortoise but with an actual engine instead of radial lol
Beautiful.. now build the grizzly tank from halo wars 1. U dont have to tho. Edit omg he knows about the grizzly!
Subscribed!
your stuff is awesome, do you have any plans making a moc based on one of halo's alien factions?
Are those tracks custom? I don’t think I’ve seen them before
Are there instructions that you designed for your Mocs
Pelican next? 🥺
How many parts would you say? I'm wondering if mega could pull it off.
Oof. No idea really. I personally think id doesn't matter too much if they designed "ultimate" sets that are more for enthusiasts anyway.
Hey I really like but I will like to if you have the blueprints to make also from where you get all the pieces the same color
Me, sitting here, wondering: USS Scarab?
Can I buy this from you??🙏🏾🙏🏾
seeing this after buying the mega infinite version of the scorpion honestly just makes me mad lol why cant i buy this scorpion for money
1st try is true to the hako 5 tank
I’d like some instructions pls
So you gonna sale the institution plz
Thanks for reminding me how awful the Halo 5 Scorpion looks.
Yup agreed 343 makes everything look dumb that's why I stopped playing Halo Infinite multiplayer and sold my game. These dummies got the Todd Howard syndrome like bruh they should of just hired those Bungie Devs looking for work and just work with them.
Can I buy this? 🤑🤑🤑
