Talk:Ukala Workshop Mauler

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

No definite proof that the Mauler is the Excavator

I looked at the source of the claim that the Excavator was just an early name for the Mauler, but it did not prove anything. I suggest that a seperate article on the Excavator be made until its fully confirmed, and speculation like that be kept out of encyclopedia articles. Justin Time 02:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

mauler, mauler, mauler

i doubt that it would be a flier, because "mauler" sounds like a bulky vehicle; i doubt it is the new wraith, because the new wraith is just upgraded... plus they wouldn't rename a vehicle for no reason (like chopper is not a brute ghost, its totally different (shoots spikes, rotary blade, etc))
mauler sounds like the constant pummelling that a brute in halo 2 does to the player...
WOA!!! BRAINFLASH!!! a brute spectre! maybe... it's a common land vehicle, armies commonly have jeeps...

possible stats>
crew: 1 drvr, 1 gnnr, 1 or 2 pssngr
turret: spiker turret
colour: purple or tan (like the chopper)
other: 2 big spikes at the front for splattering

tell me how a brute spectre is not possible! fludz 'carnttuchmee 09:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

The Brute spectre is called the "Prowler". -216.234.125.155 14:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I know, but i written this a while back before the prowler was mentioned... ah i was still right about being a brute spectre, just not the mauler... Grunty friends! 13:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Added EGM Cover

I added in the Recent EGM Cover sporting a Spartan duel wielding, one a Mauler. Not sure if it's in the best spot, but I saw it most fitting there.

The image.

Wheres the image why it isnt here? Clavix2 04:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please see your talk page -- sannse<staff /> (talk) 09:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I doubt the Mauler is the Excavator.

Yeah, I highly doubt it. Look at the "new" weapon that looks, to me at least, like a nerfed Scarab gun for normal play, and with a unique skin. Now, what are scarabs for? Excavating, do to their high powered plasma. What are shotguns for...?

Look at the Spartan in the brown at the bottom, that is not a plasma cannon. It's a new gun, likely the excavator. I suggest you unmerge the articles and create an article stating that it may be this new gun, the gun in this image, or possibly a new one alltogether. --User:MLG Cheehwawa

WTF? why is there a picture of a "spartan-elite", an elite wearing MJOLNIR armour... (next to the new weapon!) Grunty friends! 10:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Time to clarify. The 'excavator' was simply a name in the code. Seeing as EGM announced the excavator was the original name for the Mauler and they have this information from Bungie, i choose to believe them. And not everything has a obvious name, like the armor names found in the code like default, ninja, cobra, invader, predator and raptor. And that weapon at the bottom is a plasma cannon, for one it looks like the portable plasma cannon on used in Halo 2 on such levels as cairo station, secondly it shoots blue plasma like a portable plasma cannon and earlier versios of these have been spotted in videos. Basically its most likly going to be a support gun like the missile pod and the AIE. Honestly this idea of merging and such is silly. And too that note about an Elite in MJONLIR armour. Thats just the first Elite armour variant to be noted. It infact has little in common with the MJOLNIR armour except maybe that paticular one being a same color shade. --Ajax 013 17:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I know it's not the MJOLNIR armour, but masterchief stood in the same position with a shotgun. And if it ran past me I would think it's another Spartan.


I would like to believe that plasma weapon is the plasma turret, it looks like an arm guard too which would be unusable as a turret for shielding. Because Bunjie like to equalize teams (like SMG and plasma rifle, battle rifle and carbine, etc...) it could be a covenant version of either: Spartan laser or missile pod. It is possible that it is a plasma cannon just upgraded (the halo 2 plasma cannon looks feeble). Grunty friends! 07:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
