Can you explain anything in that list?

The same way modern prototypes with only one track do, the whole bike literally bends.

And you then have an inherent structural weakness along with difficult repairs and an even lower maneuverability ratio due to the fact you are imparting all of your momentum and kinetic energy into a certain location with a system not designed to do as such; wheels are simply better. They allow you to maintain a significant portion of your momentum, vector and kinetic energy when maneuvering whilst allowing a diverse range of trans-terrain transport capability at a greater speed. Not to mention that it’s harder to mobility kill something with four wheels, even if it’s driving on a rim.

The problem is, it doesn’t have wheels, it has a tread. The bending bike prototype is the only way it could turn based on the Megabloks design.

It couldn’t even bend then! I see no hinges, joints, etc on the entirety of the contraption and from the look of it, it has a solid unibody design and the track has no clearance between those two plates on the side of the bike and the guns.

Exept the last ones - because there are no words for it … and in a very simple way - sure:

supermagnetic leans: very strong magnetic fields (like “tractor beams”) that use a magnetic force (that works even on not metallic objects) to pull the bike around corners.

gravity wells: makes parts of the bike more heavy. like mini-black-holes … just more aimed. Also the focuspoints are not to 100% ON the bike. So it drives a curve.

roomwarping bubble: a bit like the “warp engine” in star treck. But with one warpbubble on each side to pull the room around - and to change the course of the bike. You might need a thrid to stabilze the effects - or you may destroy the ground.

quantum dislocations: choose the quantum reality in which the bike is more left or more right. Based on Meta- and Multi-Quantum-Areas and use a Delta to “find” the right one. Needs a lot of power - one or two black holes would be enaugh. :stuck_out_tongue:

micro-slipstream-effects: use the hyperroom slipstream around every molecular part on one side of the bike (also this should be balanced in its real speed). So you can “pull one side of the bike” through micro-slipstream to the left and to the right.

partial-time-splays: manipulate the realtime on the left or on the right of the bike. LIke two tank-tracks just on a chronobased streaming-field. You can drive left or right. Or more :stuck_out_tongue:

anti-room contortions: supersymmetric anti-room effects - means pull “up” the room until it gets “mirrored” - a bit like a warpbubble but not as “ball”. Could work very well - with the power of a few blackholes and the risk of decronifizise the whole sun system - if your engines get ovearloaded - would be like 1,000,000x the pillar of autumn - or something like that. :stuck_out_tongue: Depends on the system.

m/n-axis-drifts: you use some of the dimensions that you don’t notice (String / M-Theory got some already) and use them as “booster” or “anti-booster”. Sure you have to fill something in the dimensional areas first. Then you could use them to stear. For this you need anti-room and anti-time streams -which make everything very … “energy-charged”.
If you don’t dematterialize the bike and sink the room where it was into a m- or n-hole by creating a “black hole” in the timeline (cuz of the counter-time-stream) … Then also the room/energy levels could get out of balance. So the bike might explode into a “little big rip”. Depends on how “strong” your system was. This might pull like 1-3 whole galaxys into thier doom - and destroy some essential parts of the universe structure.

The other ones are even more a waste as a stearing-thing for a bike. If you can manipulate the room-energy-expansion factor you can do a lot of things, than only stear a bike - lol.
And they are even harder to explain. Also iam running out in words for everything. :stuck_out_tongue:
“etc. etc. pp.” means also - Iam lacking in words that I can type in here, too. :stuck_out_tongue:
(Its very limited in phoneme here.)

Orion10 is right. The most of these things would mean: covenant will be toasted until the war has even began.
Only nozzles or a moving front wheel can be working with the canon - I think. But I know the jet-nozzles are realy hard to control, cuz of the pitch axis. And the front wheel might make the track ripply - same counts for only leaning the bike to the left or to the right or/and bend it.

What we saw was a small Megabloks model, we can’t really take it as exactly what the bike will look like, especially with this small scale.

Unless it just doesn’t turn, or turns by leaning.

MegaBloks exposed the redesigned Charon-class Light Frigate before 343 did and has a history of being rather precise and in the latest GDC panel, 343 said they consulte and guide the toy makers in terms of fiction and canon. So, this mind-boggling idiotic vehicle is likely happening some time in the future.

Great, now we have a deadly contraption that can’t turn, has the maneuverability of Honey Boo Boo and is an unstable mess. Leaning is borderline impossible due to the width of the track and the fact that you’d tip the bike.

I’m glad, it looks like a very fun vehicle and a welcome addition to the Halo Universe. We already have vehicles like the Mongoose and the Warthog, the Siege Bike isn’t really that much worse. The scale of the Megabloks Siege Bike obviously prevents too much detail. It obviously turns some how, and the bendy bike prototype is really the only way.

> supermagnetic leans: very strong magnetic fields (like “tractor beams”) that use a magnetic force (that works even on not metallic objects) to pull the bike around corners.

That wouldn’t work. The magnetic response of non-ferrous materials is far too low to be of any practical use. Any field that is sufficiently large enough to move the mass of the bike with sufficient impulse to maintain decent mobility would end up causing damage to the surroundings (Look up images of people screwing up MRI scanning procedures. Exhibit A). And lets not even talk about how much it would screw up nearby electronics.

That’s the only one that made even a bit of logical or scientific sense I’m afraid.

I know that you listed all this for fun. But I still have tears in my eyes of laughing XD.

You are epic.
“I drive straight, shall the galaxy make the curves for me.”

Adding something that - if it gets out of control - might create an effect of intergalactic-mass-destruction only to navigate a bike a bit more to the left or to the right. This is just ridiculous. You should work for Orange Country Choppers.

Instructor: “Don’t drive to many s-curves, cadet.”
Cadet: “Like this?”
Instructor: “No! Wait!!!”

BABOOOOOOOMM - and our Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy get instantly sucked into a dimensionless abyss without room, time, light or energy.

Na, Iam not making fun of you. Heaven forbid! I would rather die.
Iam just laughing over your jokes.

Never meant that ‘you are ridiculous’ - or something in that direction.
I like you.

Well … then it’s OK. I dunno if life (existence) is that important - but I know what you mean :stuck_out_tongue: .

So: friends again… or still :slight_smile:

Huh? That makes no sense

33

The VTOL looks like a flying ghost while the siege bike looks like a snowmobile with a single tread.

They all look like death traps and liabilities for your multi-billion dollar super soldiers.

When Chuck Norris turns around, he doesn’t spin, the Galaxy rotates in accordance with the direction he wants to go.

Half of those explanations though, have inherent issues with the Quantum Mechanical Model. Notably in Quantum Entanglement (the bike would have to be “always left” or “always right” etc.)

> Half of those explanations though, have inherent issues with the Quantum Mechanical Model. Notably in Quantum Entanglement (the bike would have to be “always left” or “always right” etc.)

Not if you active control them. In each split second a new quantum area. In which the bike is more here or more there. But nvm… iam tired of this. Was never meant serious.

> When Chuck Norris turns around, he doesn’t spin, the Galaxy rotates in accordance with the direction he wants to go.

Erase that name of the actor and put in the word “I”.
Then turn around and look how the galaxy turns around you.
And keep in mind: it is not a lie or an illusion.

If you look on it from another viewpoint - you might see: you all have this ability. And the room is an illusion … and a lie. :slight_smile:

37

Well the reason quantum entanglement wouldn’t work as a turning radius would be the same as it wouldnt work for communication. The whole "If you have 2 alarms, one on earth and one on mars, and if something happened it would warn the other planet by glowing red. But when you look at the alarm it always glows red, ergo there is always a state of emergency or never one, and there is no interchangeable function between the two.)

More on topic, I dont like the design of the ONI vehicles, they sort of feel like the cheesy lego sets that sometimes come out (e.g. monster hunters or lego space). Halo’s gameplay is turning into Call of Duty and its universe into Starwars.
