*The Bumblebee's front window is "breakable". If you make a Warthog hit it hard by propelling it with an explosive, the window will make a breaking sound but will still appear to be intact. | *The Bumblebee's front window is "breakable".

*It is possible that the [[Master Chief]]'s presence on the escape pod contributed to the failure of the pod's landing routine: combined with his MJOLNIR [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] Armor, [[John-117]] weighed nearly 1,000 pounds<ref>'''Halo PC Strategy Guide'''</ref>, which in addition to 7 or 8 Marines and a pilot may have put the pod's mass in excess of its design specifications. On the other hand, it is also unlikely that the Bumblebee's designers would utilize highly constrained mass profiles in designing the pod, given that atmospheric resistance and gravity vary considerably from planet to planet. | *It is possible that the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s presence on the escape pod contributed to the failure of the pod's landing routine: combined with his MJOLNIR [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] Armor, [[John-117]] weighed nearly 1,000 pounds<ref>'''Halo PC Strategy Guide'''</ref>, which in addition to 7 or 8 Marines and a pilot may have put the pod's mass in excess of its design specifications.
