HALO Reach SPARTAN Jorge 052 Noble 5

Presenting McFarlane Toy's Spartan Jorge 052 - Noble 5 -  from the HALO Reach video-game. 

Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052 was a member of the SPARTAN II program - the same program that produced the Master Chief. SPARTAN Jorge was one of the few SPARTAN II survivors who got assigned to work with SPARTAN IIIs. He served with Noble Team as their heavy weapon's specialist with the designation Noble 5.

As a member of the SPARTAN II program, Jorge received the same genetic augmentation and training that the Master Chief received. This made him stronger, than the members of the SPARTAN III program - who were just armor enhanced elite soldiers.

SPARTAN Jorge was killed during Operation Uppercut during the Battle of Reach. He was the first member of Noble Team in the HALO: Reach game to die. Fearing that they would lose the battle thanks to the arrival of a Covenant Supercarrier, Noble 5 and Noble 6 infiltrated the Supercarrier to deliver a slipstream bomb. Unfortunately their escape options were cut off and the bomb's timer was damaged. Noble 5 Jorge 052, gave Noble 6 his dogtags and literally picked up and threw Noble 6 off the supercarrier. He stayed behind to detonate the bomb manually.

SPARTAN Jorge-052's last words to Noble 6 was "Tell em to make it count"

Noble Team (Complete)

Presenting the complete original Noble Team from the UNSC Special Warefare Command Group Three.

From left to right: Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052 (Noble 5); Lieutenant Commander Catherine "Kat" B320 (Noble 2); Commander Carter-A259 (Noble 1); Warrant Officer Emile-A239 (Noble 4); and replacing Lieutenant SPARTAN-B312 (Noble 6), Warrant Officer Jun-A266 (Noble 3).

It took me a while to realize just how "Bio-Man" this image is: You have a leader, a cocky shorter female, a heavy guy that carries a big gun and a silent but deadly guy.

The above arrangement is based upon a very popular promotional art released for the video game Halo Reach as seen here.

What's so iconic about this image is that it also portrays Noble Team in the order of their deaths. 

Halo 3: Mongoose

Halo 3 Mongoose

Presenting the Halo 3 Mongoose! Easily one of the worst possible vehicles you can find yourself driving in that awesome video game. If you've played the game then you know that the Halo Mongoose is unarmed, tends to skid a lot - great for drifting - has a horn for an offensive weapon (Beats shouting "Get out of the way!")  and is one of the most unstable gun platforms (Even with a rocket-launcher) in the game - one of the easiest if not the easiest to overturn. I came across this particular Halo 3 Mongoose in Filbars while spending the afternoon with my wife. It cost me around PhP 1,600. It costs around PhP 1,000 on Amazon sans shipping

UNSC Special Warfare Command Group Three

Presenting elements of the UNSC Special Warfare Command Group Three (AKA Noble Team):  (L-R) Warrant Officer Emile-A239 (Noble Four), Lieutenant SPARTAN-B312 (Noble Six), and the big-boy Chief warrant Officer Jorge-052 (Noble Five). Spoiler: By the end of the video game, Halo:Reach, all three are dead - including, well... you since you'll be playing Noble Six.
