Jumping the gun

Jumping the gun indeed. It would be better to put the images in the Pelican article first and then create an article if it has a new designation. Just like how we did it with the Cyclops MK.II/Mantis. — subtank 12:52, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

Agreed, however I chose to do the later because I felt this Pelican is a completely different variant from the Pelicans in the previous games. Just like how the Mammoth came to be, I'm duplicating the same with this new Pelican.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 13:00, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
A bit different for the Mammoth since it didn't look remotely similar to the Elephant (aside from its mammoth size)... but I guess this is fine... — subtank 13:03, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
What made it more confusing for me was that we had two different Pelican variants (Halo CE-Reach era, Halo 3 era) and I wasn't sure which variant to put it on. That's the other half to why I created this article instead.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 13:12, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
You got a point there. If this is a third, make sure to create a disambig.— subtank 13:15, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
Will do. Also in reply to your comment- "And why they have to make it... ugly... is beyond me. Bungie's design is more aerodynamic(?) whereas this one is more... bumblebee-ey?", I agree, and they gave it a "Russian Hind" chopper canopy look.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 13:17, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

Dropship 79 Heavy

On Halowaypoint this Pelican variant has been offically named as the Dropship 79 Heavy so the page can now be renamed. Source http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide
