Thanks for all the info regarding the type of turrets used on this set, It's great to see how much Halo knowledge you guys have. I'm going to update the 'skip times' with the turret names that have been suggested. keep it coming and thanks to all those that left a comment on the matter.
The fourth turret looks like a anti aircraft gun, not rocket. Well made video 😀 I was waiting for a beat to drop in the music. 😀
@@legobrickabrac Ha, I know what you mean about the drop, If you want the drop you'll need to watch the speed build, it has the full track. Thanks for the info on the gun too, noted.
@@brickman1175 Yes I think I'll check out the speed build later. The gun looks like a ground to air defence cannon.
Brick Man 117 Thanks to you...I want one.
Brick Man 117 Hopefully in Halo Infinite, we have different variations of scorpion tanks.
“Cortana all I want to know is why is it so expensive?”
I didn't even know this set existed before I saw this video. I'm going to have to get me one now.
That’s how I feel with every new halo megabloks set. I usually discover them at Ross
Cool
Yeah Im asking for it and Im gonna ask for the Pelican for Christmas.
Last I heard, their now hard to get, considerably......rare now
Those treads, the original design, and more designs, I can't wait for this set!
Just bought one. Haven't built it yet. This is the first set I've EVER been intimidated by.
Hope you enjoy the build, still one of my favourite sets.
They should do a set like this but as a covenant wraith. Since they had multiple different types of wraiths. For example the anti air wraith
Great idea
So watching this video, I think I can identify the turret types.
The first one is the default MBT scorpion.
The second one is obviously, an anti-air rocket turret as correctly identified by Brickman.
The third one appears to either be a mortar cannon (most likely) or simply an artillery piece.
The fourth is an anti-infantry turret with an additional missile launcher attachment reminiscent of those on Bradley AFVs (essentially an anti-tank guided missile).
The fifth is yet again another anti-air turret (Brickman also noted this) however it's not shooting rockets, it's a flak turret.
Honestly I wanna get this set just so I can put the mini MAC cannon on it from a few years ago
Just got mine today for $51 and it is amazing! I may have not bought it if it wasn't for this review, you did an amazing job of showing off the different variations and I couldn't keep myself from buying this thing! Keep up the great content!
Glad it helped, great set, enjoy it.
I also have it because of the video my dad bought it for 40 dollars in an auction
Where did you get it? It’s $80 everywhere
You guys are so lucky, most places have it at $130-$150.
My favorite one is the turret with the ejecting shells
I love the unique functions for each turret.
The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing, that would possibly make this better is adding a "ping" to that turret. This is really good, I want one hahah
Easy...
Buy 20 boxes and build them all separately...
👍
I would but this, but the fact that it costs almost as much as the new pelican makes me want to just get the pelican, but the scorpion is still awesome
My only complaint about the set is that you have to go to the website for the instructions, but other than that I love it. Also I like how the base version is based off of the reach model scorpion. Great review btw.
I couldn't agree more, lets hope they never do this again. Paper instructions are a must.
For the whole instructions or just for the different turrets?
@@NoahgotLEGO the whole instructions
@@DarkSoulsReject That must suck for people that don't have access to the internet
I got the instructions on CZcams
That's not a MK 4 spartan, but rather a MK V spartan. You can tell by the design of the chestplate being the same as the Halo Combat Evolved: Anniversary spartan armor (Cononically MK V) as well as the helmet and pauldrons being the classic MK V design.
MK 4 armor is what you see in the Halo Wars lineup, as well as the older spartans they released around 10 years ago to coincide with Halo Wars for the 360.
Huh, so they actually made the Tarantula (The missile pod one) and the Sun Devil (The quad autocannon). These were things with only a brief mention in the...Encyclopdia, I think it was? Nice to see them in an actual block set.
The Tarantula was an anti-armor missile platform, and the Sun Devil was meant to be an anti-air, but the autocannons also excelled at an anti-infantry role.
Didn't know they were called the Tarantula and the Sun Devil. It makes this, even more, satisfying my dude
@@sinisterisrandom8537 they're also known as M808C and M808D.
The sun devil's cannon had the barrels much closer together similar to the cannons on the millennium falcon.
I don't have much to say on the tarantula as we don't have any official designs to go off of.
Thanks for this info, big help. I have updated these two turrets in the description with their names. Just 2 left to find names for.
You could probably make a rhino with this
This is an epic designer set, and I think my favorite turret is the first one mainly because it resembles the Halo 1 tank especially with the figurine.
*Which is mk 5 not 4*
But they are a lot alike
Great review overall
Thank you
Turret 5 if you look at the back of the box mega refers to it as an "ARTEMIS PROTOTYPE PLASMA CANNON".
that red is because in the original scorpion come a red spartan (in that time the only one) and has the same color.
Thanks for the info, didn't realise that.
bought 1 at regular price. found out walmart was doing a clearance sale so i got 2 more haha
That is cool but how did you find in Walmart we looked at Walmart and Target and none had it so my dad bought it online
Why three tanks nothing wrong with that just wondering
@@sneyeper5243 walmart.ca i'm in canada. all gone now :(
@@sneyeper5243 i wanted to have multiple configurations without having to rebuild it each time.
First one is the standard 90mm smoothbore, second one would be a SAM launcher, third could be something like siege artillery, number 4 is a rotary anti aircraft platform (probably Vulcan) and lastly, 5 is most likely quad auto cannons around 40-50 mm. Essentially, a turret for every occasion.
Thank you so much for the info on the turrets, I really appreciate it when viewers help out with the bits I'm unsure about, I'll add this infirm to the description.
Brick Man 117 No problem! I always did find it kinda funny how 500 years in the future humanity still relies on such similar weaponry and technologies as our “modern” day counterparts.
I bought two of these amazing sets (almost got a third) and I love them! I was able to make the og turret more accurate to it's in game counterpart all just with the extra pieces included in the set! I just love how many extra pieces you get! I was also able to make a "heavy" turret for the second tank that I am quite proud of, especially for the fact that again I only used parts included with the individual sets, so anyone could make them with just the base set
I managed to snag one of these at an EB Games/Gamestop in Canada and it does not disappoint. If I could I'd get probably 2 more. I've built the original Scorpion design ofc, but I also love the 6 Tread/Gattling Turret Combo and the Hover Tread/Quad Turret Combo.
Darq Dragon By Hover Tread do you mean the tread system without the actual, y’know..treads? Just the wheels? That’s the only one I haven’t built yet. Didn’t like it at all at first but it’s kind of grown on me. I just built the original Scorpion design after doing some of the others but I think I’m going back to the 6 Tread (love that one)/Anti Tank turret. But I do want to try out the Quad Turret and treadless treads/Hover Treads (if that’s what you’re talking about) before then.
@@timabata3530 Yes Tim, those would be the ones
Honestly, I'm acutely disappointed in myself for not getting this thing for myself for christmas. It's just so cool
Great video, thanks for building all of the turrets!
the spartan is sarge from red v blue
He could be I guess.
Is Sarge and shela
Tucker did it
lol gotta love red v blue
I have a full collection of the red vs blue character I have all the blues Carolina wash all reds custom sharkface the reds warthog and Sheila also have the meta and wyoming
Oh and the Sheila is this set
I would love to see these scorpion variants added into Halo Infinite! These are so cool!
Also dude I love you’re music.
Thanks, choosing the right music is key to a good video, unfortunately you can't please everyone.
Thanks for letting me know you approve.
Brick Man 117 no problem dude because it is killer! I can’t believe there are people who don’t like it!
This review was great. You gave a lot of detail when talking about each turret, and now I want to buy this set now haha.
Thank you
Turret 3 is based is a more Bungie era scorpion turret where as the standard turret is a 343 era scorpion turret.
This thing is 150 bucks now I really wanted it but know it’s just a dream
Now it’s 250 bucks
Same
Yeah I got it for 60 first day and it is amazing
The second turret resembles that of the Wolverine Charge Set for anti aircraft capability.
Brilliant video just like your others.
It looks like Target has it, but not my local store. I've bought the Warthog Run set from there, so I'll try to snatch it when it becomes available.

Thanks for making this review!
I would love this set, if I could find one that didn't cost $225+.
This set looks really good and it will be a great addition to my collection. I´m going to most probebly pick this up for christmes.
Once I get my next cheque I'll for sure buy it through your link! I must have this set!
Thank you so much watching the video and supporting the channel by buying through my link, very much appreciated.
@@brickman1175 no problem! Thank you for this video as I was on the fence about it! Though it really does suck about it not coming with paper instructions, but I suppose that's a small sacrifice to make. I was wondering, you said that the hull mg turret rotates but I don't believe you showed it, how much can it move from side to side?
Es bellísimo amigo nuevo suscriptor espero llege pronto a mexico
this is such a awesome tank!! hope it goes on sale soon.
This is the only video where I actually went woah on all of the internet and I went woah more than once
Thanks 👍
A shame it was near impossible to get this. I really want the implement the mechanism where it drops shell casings whilst firing the projectile into another set
That's my fav feature too
I dont remember when the original mega block tank came out but my friend was a huge fan of Halo so he got the set and glued it to his Graduation Hat for the ceremony in elementary.
Never even saw one at retail
I'm so impressed by this set, definitely a buy
And nice review, tks!
I´m getting this for Christmas!🎅
Saurian5 Maybe santa told me what he is going to get me early.😉
Me too!!
Mee too!
It's Mark v Spartan, not Mark IV. But still, great review!
Yes, your correct, slip of the tongue. Thanks for the correction.
Man, this is such an amazing set, it's just pretty expensive! It is totally worth it, though!
I've gotta say this set is very impressive! An absolute masterpiece! Thanks for the information in the video. I will definitely give this video a huge thumbs up! By the way, you forgot to make a review about the tread patterns. You can even purchase the product for $45 plus tax on Target.com. you will save more money than on amazon.
Thank you and thanks for the info. Time factors stopped me from reviewing the track systems.
Well, I see. You can buy from Walmart at a low price as well.
Yeah
Okay, that number 3 turret has definitely peaked my interest for this set. That’s just fun looking, but I know for a fact all of those little projectiles will be gone in no time if I do get it.
14:00 heavy auto cannons likely, could probably rip through a wing in milliseconds. Experienced stuff like that in War Thunder
Thanks for the info, that makes more sense than my guess.
Just found your channel. Glad to see someone giving mega some love. I’m still mad LEGO bought BrickLink after BL entertained the idea of putting mega on it.
Welcome aboard 👍 I had no idea that brick link was considering adding MCX to their site before the buy out, that would have been great, just what Mega needs. Obviously never going to happen now though. 😞
@@brickman1175 They never said Mega by name, but they said other block brands. We know it wouldn't be lepin or something, so it was probably mega.
Yeah, I really wish there was a bricklink for megabloks. MOCing is so difficult with mega
Just wish they'd do grizzly next
If you mess around with the parts from this and another scorpion or rhino you could probably build one
@@pododododoehoh3550 yeah I guess its just when I do it, it looks like garbage 😂
I hope they re-release this at some point
Sheila and sarge
Those pod launchers things are surface to air missle
The turret at 10:04 is giving me Self-Propelled Gun vibes. As in you're correct. Its a heavy cannon, usually SPGs are high caliber artillery cannons like Howitzers or anti-tank cannons like the German Pak guns.
Sarge !!!!!
The original scorpion tank from Combat Evolved does not have a gun turret on it which kind of disappointed me about this set but I'm still going to try to get it as soon as I can
I'm on the fence about paying mad after-market prices for this right now so came back to check this out and I'm thankful for how indepth you go mate. Think I may just bite the bullet.
My 9 year old daughter is my studio with me right now and just asked to build that set, unfortunately I've used the parts for the Ultimate Hog so she can't. She asked if she could ave one for her birthday, I said no as I'm not prepared to pay the current price, such a shame these weren't readily available as it really is a great set.
@@brickman1175 the Ultimate Hog was worth the sacrifice! I agree mate - it is a shame Mega are unable to re-release sets. Something like this would sell very well through a online platform!
Really sad I couldn't purchase this when it was first released
For the instructions, download the Mega Construx app. It has animated instructions which made the build so much easier than a static diagram. When you finish the build, the app gives you a nice animation of all the turret possibilities in action.
The Mega Construx Beyonders™ App isn't available in the UK App Store. You need a US App Store account to be able to download it. But you are correct, the app would have made life easier. Thanks for the suggestion :)
I couldn’t download it on my old iPad 2, it requires iOS 11 and that thing is a bit outdated at iOS 9.3.5 lol. I had no issues downloading all the instructions to iBooks and building from that.
That's disappointing to hear the app isn't as widely available as I assumed. Thanks for posting this vid. Its really great to see all the turrets and their functions.
I found these at an overstock store for $29.99 (US) a set last holiday season. Needless to say I probably bought way too many
@@aidancalfee2634 sadly not. I used them all for custom sets. In hindsight I should have gotten a few to sell for decent prices (not scalper price) for others who couldn't find these.
Nice bro. How many did you get?
@ethan boss where? A store called HomeBuys in the greater Cincinnati area of the US
@@calby7202I bought 3, one for an alternate build (I had already bought one months before from Target online and built the basic Scorpion build), and 2 I used to make a large troop transport.
Excellent review! I first built the mini gun turret and the single, long treads on either side. I’ve just now taken apart the treads (love the parts multi-tool/separator, especially useful for this set!) and plan on trying out the 6 tread system and turret 3 after that. I actually skipped that part in the video because I really want to see it’s action feature for myself once I build it lol.
It should be noted (if it hasn’t been already) that the 2 hatches in the rear of the tank body can be fully closed with the ammo storage crate inserted. The video makes it look like the crate being in there might cause that bottom hatch to hang open a bit.
Thanks for the feedback and your bang on with the comment about the luggage doors, sometimes I don't see things until after filming. I'm glad your enjoying the set as much as I did.
This is probably my most wanted set.
I'll never find it though.
Amazon.fr sucks.
Try Amazon.com . The shipping cost should be under 50$
They should rerelease this set
I would say it would be better rereleased with paper instructions and only the pieces for the standard scorpion
I hope they re release it soon mega construx is known for re releasing stuff like the warthogs
It’s just so expensive now
I don't think they'll re release this set but a new infinite Scorpion should be on the cards.
If they do, I would love to see a second figure added. Like a blue Hunter but actually painted unlike the trash Warthog Run ones.
@@brickman1175 if they do I hope they use the M808 scorpion because I have the H5 it it’s turret is missing that scorpion look
The second turret setup is a Wolverine's weapons from Halo Wars 1 and 2
No it a another unsc vehicle I can't spell the name but named after a big spider and it a variant of the t808 main battle tank or scorpion tank with anti air capability it very obscure never showed up in a game and it like the unsc equivalent of the anti air wrath the covenant had from halo 3
I'm actually quite pleased with the new tracks. Having run afoul of self-destructing Rubber tracks in some of their previous tank builds (probuilder, Halo AND CoD sets) individual plastic links is the right way to go, IMO.
This set had such a short runtime. I blinked and it was gone :(
You should make it so your custom pelican can carry a warthorg or this scorpion
I'm working on that area at the moment so will need to figure something out, I'll see what I can come up with.
@@brickman1175 nice
Brick Man 117 That’s the roughest part, I made a Pelican MOC a few years back (2013ish?) using the old pelican sets and a few assorted other sets and the back unsupported “bridge” area needs A TON of internal support, it got to the point that I glued a metal piece of pipe down the middle and attached a weight to the chassis of the pelican to keep it from sagging/collapsing due to the weight of the thrusters. Maybe that’s just an issue I had because I built it so long ago.
@@jerrell1169 bad pieces? The new ones are better
@@jerrell1169 Everything on the Ultimate Pelican build is a challenge, but worth it. Figuring out the problems is what makes it so rewarding. Thanks for heads up.
Maybe one combination that some could do is the Grizzly from halo wars. Good video !!!
Thanks
...that magazine-fed autocannon, though. This is a gorgeous set, and I may have to pick it up myself.
I really love the figure
The second turret looks like the turret of the wolverine
They need to reissue this tank I really want to get one.......maybe two
I agree, we need a Scorpion in the Infinite line.
@@brickman1175 I thought this was the infinite line scorpion
I'd have gotten 2 or 3. One for the default build, one for an attempt at an original style turret, and one for one of the random ones
@@KevinSanchez-ol3jd Look at the date for this
@@cloneman6659 did you just really reply to a month old comment?
Great review!
Thanks
I really like your reviews btw will you do reviews on other sets like the halo heroes or the blind bag series?
Thank you. Figure sets and blind bags are difficult to get in my region without paying crazy money, that's why I don't review them, because I don't have them. sorry.
Man I need to pay attention to the mega construx halo toys because I’ve been lacking on getting these
Man I had the choice between this and the UNSC Frostraven vs Decimus (Both were around 60 bucks on amazon few years back)
I Opted for the Frostraven, but I wish I chose this
Though i guess if i did i'd be wishing id gotten the Frostraven so, oh well
First turret is the Scorpion.
Second Turret looks like the Tarantula configuration
Third Unknown.
Fourth looks like the Sun Devil
Fifth Unknown.
I need it!
For while I thought Mega was done with releasing big sets as all they seemed to do for a long time was just small figure packs. It's great to see Maga really putting the effort into not just a good build but a great build. What a great idea to have different forms of model all in one set. Great idea and hope it sells well. I might get this as I have and love the last scorpion tank from Mega. The last turret looks like a anti air gun and not rockets. Well made vid.
Thanks for the comments, I agree with them all. Here's to hoping Mega go all out for the release of Halo Infinite next year.
@@brickman1175 I think the buyout from MATEL probably stoped large set development while they had a shift around of the business.
@@legobrickabrac Agreed, lets hope they are settled now so they can get back to big sets and a wider range of sets like they used to do. Here's hoping 2020 is a big year for Mega.
@@brickman1175 I'm just really happy to see them try to go above and beyond for this new scorpion. I doubt they will do the biggest sets anymore, I think this tank is probably gona be as big as there sets get now. There the best sellers.
14:00 that my man is a flak cannon so the anti air was right
Thank you.
This set makes me melt
This is so coooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey brick man 117 a moc you should build is an ultimate elephant
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list.
A very nice set to get if I could of found it and the retail is not in store or online vendors. Goes for a high price. But I would like to add this one to my collection very nice set.
It's a great set that I almost didn't buy, would have been one of my biggest regrets as the current price sucks. Wish I'd brought a few more for MOCS.
I bought the new phaeton gunship over this when it was 40 buck s ripp
It's definitely better than the halo 5 tank that mega construx made because the turret part is sticking out to much in the halo 5 scorpion set
The spartan is a Mk 5. Mk 4 has a chest piece that looks like pectorals
Taking notes 📝
The spartan is mk 5 but great review
So basically this is a armory vehicle set... to bad we cant have all the turrets at once to put in a dont know a motor pool garage and have some of these just sitting on a rack. As for the m1 grand firing system should dump through the bottom, and yeah the auto cannon aka scythe (that's its name it's in reach), and the last turret looks like a base turret from halo wars.
Your Halo knowledge is obviously greater than mine, thanks for inputting and taking the time to explain the guns.
Foxleader The Garand keeps its casings in the clip, the bottom part is the magazine which contains the stripper clip, all the casings are ejected with the clip when empty.
@@brickman1175 I know halo to a T brick man it's funny I havent came across your channel sooner, due to I'm subbed to most mega construx, and lego channels.
@@jerrell1169 I love how much you guys know about tanks! I'm learning a lot.
Nice
I would kill for a warthog version
Awesome review thanks for showing all the builds. Unfortunately when I order mine it'll be over 250.00 ;(
Tell me about it, I want to use this set to create an Ultimate Build Scorpion but I'm not buying another 4 sets a £250 each. This was released ta the height of MCX distribution issues sadly so many missed out.
I would probably just get that set to have an accurate sarge figure XD
buy the mastershief vs brute pack for 10 us and you recieve a painted assault riffle and detailled energy sword the chief have really really great detail on it
@@SamWalt-zk7cg what does this have to do with sarge?
I miss read sorry😅
@@SamWalt-zk7cg lol your good man.
The ctf artic warthog comes with a good sarge figure, and a shotgun.
