I have thought of a cool Covenant version of the Mantis, and I would like the communities oppinions. This is my first thread on this forum, so don’t expect too much.
All I ask is to say what you like, or give constructive critism. Thank you.
And I present to you, the Reaper!
(Sorry for only putting a link, putting a diret imae wasn’t working for me)
The Reaper is a tri-legged walking beast that has a body that looks like a Banshee. It shoots plasma bullets out, and if you hold the trigger, it charges and shoots a fuelrod-like burst. It is bascially a giant plasma pistol. Maybe it could be named plasma cannon?
Anyway, it can’t stomp, but can climb up steep (Not straight up and down) walls.
So thanks for reading, please tell me feedack!
If anything, I’d say the covie version would be the locust from halo wars, it was basically a toned down mini scarab
Guess I never saw one. That’s basically what this is now that I think about it: A mini scarab. Sorta
Yea, being able to pilot a Locust would be bad -Yoink-. I’m also all for adding the Vampire.
What you got there is similar to the locust in all but the locust shoots a consistent beam rather than one plasma bolt. Anyways a covie walker would be nice.
it looks like the Covenant stolen Reaper technology lol.
Just for reference, the locust

I lol’d hard at your drawing there. Not in a bad way in any means!!! Thank you sir, bring out the Reaper!!!
Locust, halo wars, enough said.
Isn’t one geriatric walker enough. I don’t need another mech to get excited about only to have it balanced and boorish.
Mass effect Halo… thing needs a different name. it’s basically a reaper from ME
hey man, i really like this! it gives off that creepy crawler look, and reminds me of the locust in halo wars. It also reminds me of the tripods in the war of the worlds movie. I think that could be a definite possibility in halo 4

I would have to disagree with you regarding the name change, it fits perfectly with the lore of Covenant vehicle names. If you look through the history of Halo you’ll see the Covenant vehicles continue with the synonym of the word ‘Ghost’. (Disregarding Scarab and Locust, the odd ones out)There is Ghost/Wraith/Banshee/Revenant/Phantom/Spirit/Spectre/Lich/Shadow/Shade/ and Vampire. Whether or not it looks similar to a Reaper is a matter of opinion.
I’d rather have the Locust but I like how the Reaper resembles an Infection Form.
I also like how you made it so that it can climb up surfaces. There’s been a lack of traction in Halo recently.
Chief slides off rocks, Wraiths can’t go up -Yoink-, Ghosts are pathetic, Hog is a pos, Scorpions are so slow and easily flip when driving into walls.
What the hell happened to Halo 2 where the Spectre, Ghost, and even the Wraith were maneuverable and could be adept at traversing the toughest terrain? And there’s also CE, where you could get to the top of the level Halo in a Hog!! Without launching. Lastly, bridge jump. If that was in Halo 4, it would be impossible simply because Chief sinks like a rock.

You know, the Covenant technology degreed with time. Like in Star Wars universe.
On topic, i’m going to make an redraw the Reaper of the OP. My drawing skill sucks, but i’m going to try anyway.
Thank you everyone who likes the thread!
What for? BTW I’m fine with it.
The Locust looks just like what I wanted it to look like, except for tri-legs.
Banshees fly, all the other Covenant vehicles hover over the ground. They have no stability over steep terrain. The Reaper is a personal climbing vehicle.
It would be fun to see these in a Halo campaign. Like Master Chief and Spartans are camping on a mountain, and all of a sudden get sabotagued by climbing Reapers.
Maybe Halo 5? We could try to get this popular or something.
BTW not only has UNSC technology advanced in four years, but imagine what the Covenant invented…
