Can we have the Grunt Mech Drivable?

How cool would it be to be able to pilot the Grunt Mech, kinda like the Mantis.

The only issue I can see with this is that I can see Mr.117 fitting in that tiny cockpit.

But what I’ve been thinking is you know how 343 adds all KINDZZZ of crazy guns in the game and just says “yo da humans did some research and implemented it into tha simulation yo” could we have like a Grunt Mech infused with the mantis or something cool like that.

This would make it so it’s not over powered, and I think it would be cool to have a vehicle that jump high as -Yoink-.

Just my thoughts, what do you guys think?

Sounds fun but I don’t think that’s in 343 agenda. Or is it? Cue dramatic music

Yeah, I do too think this would be on the bottom of the list of things of importance for Halo. Maybe tho, just maybe in H6 we will see this happen.

Saying “maybe” is just wishful thinking huh?

A Covenant’s version of the Mantis but it fires Covenant weaponry? Sure why not as long it can compete with the Mantis.

I would absolutely be all for driving the Grunt mech. I’d be fine with either variation too, Scarab arm or Needler.

Definitely competes with the Mantis, that huge Needler can super combine vehicles and it can booster jump around, I’d say a yes to that. But we’d need a big enough cockpit space, and usually Unggoy pilot the Grunt Goblin.

Why not reverse-engineer the Grunt Goblin’s equipment for the Mantis?

Change the chaingun to the one that is fitted on the Sword Needle Hog and the Rocket pod to the Beserker’s Claw and you’ll pretty much have a Covvy UNSC Hybrid Mantis.
Add to this a red-ish color scheme and a blue glowing energy shield as some nice visuals and voila!

Grunt Meks ar only fer us Grunts adn Grunts only. Stoopid humins, Broots, and Eleets can’t evin fit in teh Meks cuz they have big butts. The Created maed the Meks for Grunts since Grunts are alwaes gettin’s bullied. Nao we can show whose boss.” -DipDarb teh Wise

Got that message last time I suggested being able drive a Grunt Mech. I think the poor Unggoy’s just want something of their own.

That answers my question. I guess we will have to wait for the Grunt spin off game then since humans can’t enjoy the ride.

How about a hw2 cyclops instead

The base Mantis doesn’t set a very high bar to begin with. <_<
But on topic, what is essentially a covenant Mantis would be really cool, shooting giant homing needles at everyone from an armored shell would be pretty fun.

Also, in b4 Sword Needler Mantis is conceived.

What if they just added the mech ai to forge, BUT you can also set players to spawn in it and if they spawn in one, they are grunts?

Hannibal Mantis cries in the corner

Given my experience with it, I would say it outplays the Mantis.

Jump pack, giant needle attack thing, plasma caster fist, and a Scarab Gun… I want it.

Please, please playable Grunt Mech suits- a Covey alternative to a mantis! Req wise it would be like 4 or 5 for normal suits that shoot just needles and those would be ultra rare, and a legendary suit would be the one with the scarab cannon (plasmablaster yimblabblobpooploopfruit loop or whatever’s suit) would be 5 or 6 level. 1st covey legendary vehicle req

I don’t see that to be directly possible. The actual grunt piloting it is very cozy in the cockpit, I can’t imaging a 2.3 meter tall Spartan squishing into it.

That said, what I’d LOVE to see is a sort of heavy-mech built specifically for Spartans. Something like the Mantis, but much more heavily armored and equipped with a more human-like shape. Sorta like a mini Spartan-shaped Gundam.

Would be sweet, but the problem is that how can we fit in the cockpit? Unless we get a game where we play as a grunt.

Cool idea
