HALO 4 Commander Sarah Palmer

Presenting Mc Farlane's Commander Sarah Palmer the SPARTAN Commander from HALO 4. 

Sarah Palmer is a member of the SPARTAN IV program - which mean's in essence she's a Mjolnir Gen 2 armor augmented and genetically modified professional soldier. This distinguishes her from the members of Noble Team who are members of the SPARTAN III program - basically cannon fodder soldiers who did not receive the same genetic augmentation that the members of the SPARTAN I, II and IV programs received.

Sarah Palmer was received training from one of Noble Team's survivors: Jun A266 - Noble 3.

SPARTAN Commander Sarah Palmer encountered the Master Chief when he rescued the beleaguered crew of the UNSC Infinity during the First Battle of Requiem. She thought the Master Chief would be taller.

SPARTAN THORNE - Mc Farlane Toys Halo 4

Presenting from McFarlane Toys, SPARTAN Gabriel Thorne, the main character of the SPARTAN Ops series of Halo 4 where he served as a rifleman in Fireteam Majestic. 

Now to the uninitiated - and this get confusing - SPARTAN Thorne is a member of the SPARTAN IV program - which is essentially a batch of genetically modified adults given Mjolnir armors to create super-soldiers.

SPARTAN IVs are not to be confused in with the cannon-fodder members of the SPARTAN III program which included Noble Team, as these were just soldiers given superior training in tactics along with Mjolnir power armor. They were literally released to die and delay the Covenant. 

And not to be confused with the members of the SPARTAN II program from which John 117 hails. He was kidnapped as a child, subjected to training and genetic augmentation and then given  Mjonir Power Armor - which also explains why he's so expensive. Modifying adults was cheaper. SPARTAN II's were still superior to SPARTAN IVs - though SPARTAN IV Mjolnir Generation 2 armor is superior to the Mjolnir armor issued to SPARTAN IIs.

But then, John 117 now wears a SPARTAN Mjolnir Generation 2 armor. 

So he's superior in every way.

HALO Mantis - Megabloks

Presenting a HALO UNSC Mantis power-armor from Megabloks!

We at the Dungeon first piloted a UNSC Mantis Exo-Skeleton in HALO 4. We have to say that we totally did not expect to find Power-Armor in that game - I mean isn't the Mjolnir armor enough? So when this bad boy showed up BOY DID WE PUSH IT TO THE MAX!!!!

We loved it! mini-guns, missiles, stomp here, stomp there. You have to love the UNSC Mantis!!!

We're frankly disappointed that McFarlane has yet to produce one yet, but then a full sized UNSC Mantis capable of let's say being driven by any of the members of Noble Team, would be huge (And incredibly expensive)!

Till then, this will have to do. When we saw the Megabloks UNSC Mantis, we just had to have it.

Cortana (Halo 4 Spoilers)

Don't read this if you're a fan of the HALO series and haven't finished it yet.


I've recently noticed the spike in people visiting my review of the Halo 3: Cortana figure. I was wondering what all the sudden interest was all about.

Then I finished Halo 4, and I was absolutely thrown into a depressing fit.

Cortana dies.

It's just not fair! It's not right! I've been fighting side-by-side with Cortana since 2001!

I don't get how the Master Chief can go on knowing that he made a promise to a girl that he can't keep when he promised to get her home and that everything will be alright.

Such a dumb ending to a wonderful series. Almost as stupid as the ending to Mass Effect 3.

A major F U to 343.

Rest in peace Cortana.
