Halo has a long tradition of being portrayed through other media, such as books, Anime, and action figures. In a recent email sent out by Mega Bloks to their customers, the toy company revealed they will be producing two brand new UNSC vehicles, the UNSC Siege Bike and the UNSC Light Assault VTOL. According to the email, which a Halo Waypoint forum user poster here, these new vehicles were built by a weapons testing division in the Office of Naval Intelligence called REAP-X (Reverse Engineering and Prototyping–Xenotechnology). But the email does not mention whether they will be in an upcoming game, or just made specifically for Mega Bloks.
The siege Bike is described as: "ONI’s solution to single-manned rapid assault vehicles like the Covenant Ghost or Brute Chopper is none other than the UNSC Siege Bike."
The Light Assault VTOL is described as: "the UNSC Light Assault VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) craft is a heavily armed, full mobility combat flier designed to operate in confined environments, such as forests, cave interiors, or even a skyscraper-dense metropolis."
It is unclear if or when these vehicles will make an appearance in A Halo game or some other piece of Halo Fiction, and 343 Industries have yet to acknowledge their existence. It should be noted that all Mega Bloks Halo sets have been based on existing vehicles and characters in the Halo universe, so it is possible that the Siege Bike and VTOL could be implemented into a yet unannounced Halo game.
Halo Mega Bloks have been made since Halo 3, and the most recent Halo 4 series offers a wide variety of both campaign and multi-player related toys like the new promethean enemies, the UNSC Mantis Mech, and the Forward Unto Dawn.
