Box & Packaging:
Figures:
This set included one blue Spartan CQB, one red Combat Elite, and one blue Spartan EVA.
Weapons & Accessories:
One gray Brut shot, one black rocket launcher and one blue Energy Sword.
The Locust:
Locusts are quadrupedal mining platfroms that are part of a larger class of constructs known as Excavators. Out of nine tiers of Excavators they are classed tier-one on its scale.
Like all known Excavators, the Locust is named after an insect rather than a supernatural entity like most Covenant vehicles. Locusts are members of the grasshopper family that are infamously known for rapidly stripping fields of crops. The walker's similar "building killer" usage may be the reason for the vehicle's name.
The Mongoose:
The Mongoose is one of the fastest and most maneuverable ground vehicles in the arsenal of the UNSC Marine Corps. It is a highly effective vehicle for reconnaissance, rapid transportation, swift tactical versatility, and for shooting between positions. A smaller cousin to the ubiquitous M831 Troop Transport, the Mongoose is a small ATV capable of carrying a driver in the middle of the vehicle and features a rear platform that can be used to carry one additional passenger, although official UNSC safety protocols advise against this.
