The Protos was one of [[Cut Halo Wars units#Scarab (Protos variant)|many units]] to be experimented with for inclusion in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. The vehicle was found in the [[Halo Wars E3 2007 Demo|''Halo Wars'' E3 2007 demo]], where it was destroyed via [[Orbital bombardment|MAC strike]]. Ultimately, the vehicle was cut and replaced in final release with the {{Pattern|Deutoros|Scarab}} from ''[[Halo 3]]'' instead. | The Protos was one of [[Cut Halo Wars units#Scarab (Protos variant)|many units]] to be experimented with for inclusion in ''[[Halo Wars]]''.
