::::It's true that all of the models are commonly called "Scarabs", but then again, things like the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]] and the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]] are commonly only referred to as "battle rifles" even when they are obviously different models with different designations. To avoid this, we could always call th T47 UHAP article "Scarab" and mention that only the Halo 3 one has a confirmed official designation while the others are just referred to as "Scarabs". The same would apply to [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage]] and [[Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun]], which would be called "Wraith" and "Shade", respectively; it doesn't really make sense to apply the formal designation of the Halo 3 model to all of their iterations since the iterations in question are considerably different in appearance and function and we have no way to know for sure if the Halo 3 model's designation is applied to all of them. Obviously, the articles shouldn't be separated so that every different model would have its own article, but the name could be changed to describe the subject in general to avoid the assumption that all models have the same designation. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 09:48, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

:::::"Scarab" is a nickname for the plasma-spitting Covenant behemoth that wreck havoc over Arcadia (Halo Wars), New Mombasa (Halo 2/ODST) and Voi (Halo 3) while "Battle Rifle" is a term which defines the operation of the weapon. As such, the analogy you've given is incorrect... but anyways... I agree with the rest. :P - <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></font> 09:57, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
