Talk:Sumda'te-pattern Scarab
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
--Shun Kanamee (talk) 18:36, 14 March 2014 (EDT)How many feet feet long, tall, and width is the Super Scarab? And how big is it compared to the Harvester? I need to know.
- I don't actually know. Since it was not one of the objects included in the first Halo Visual Guide, I didn't have any of the scans or data on that Scarab. I could figure it out if I had the model as I helped devise the measurements of Halo Wars objects for the book but I don't if any extracted mesh models from the game exist out there. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 20:16, 14 March 2014 (EDT)
Catalog confirms
Catalog just confirmed that the Halo 2 Scarab is the T-36 Scarab. Any thoughts or disagreements before I do a massive overhaul of the T-36 and T-47 pages?Sith-venator Wavingstrider

- Now that I see it, the "head" of the Super-Scarab looks very similar to the H2 Scarab's "head".--They're coming. They're hungry. (talk) 01:19, 23 August 2014 (EDT)
- For a long time the T-47 page assumed that the Scarab in Halo Wars was a Halo 2 Scarab. Then one day Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide popped up to put an end to that. Though me and Stephen Loftus had a discussion before I made this page and did say that the T-36 wasn't the Halo 2 Scarab. Of course 343 may have changed their minds on it.Sith-venator Wavingstrider

- Seems to have been overwritten. The original source of the Halo 2 and 3 Scarabs both being the T-47 was from the Scarab entry in the first Visual Guide, where Halo 2 is cited as an appearance, yet only T-47 appears in any descriptions on the page. This was actually discussed during the production of the book. The reference in the Halo 4 Visual Guide to T-36 was intended to refer to the Halo Wars variant, but it seems that Catalog has retconned that now. If I can follow up with them, I'll post in again. Don't change it just yet - remember, Palace Hotel is still explicitly referring to the "tee forty-seven" as the Halo 2 Scarab. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 14:39, 23 August 2014 (EDT)

So it's been about two months and the MCC is right around the corner. Did you get an answer Stephen?Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 17:11, 22 October 2014 (EDT)
- When I'd last messaged Catalog, it was still being bandied about. I just sent a follow up so hopefully I'll get a response in a day or so. Thanks for the reminder...this one had slipped past me.ScaleMaster117 (talk) 21:22, 22 October 2014 (EDT)
- Sounds good. I'll still work on the draft until then.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 00:43, 23 October 2014 (EDT)
