Mega Construx Halo Universe Red Team Warthog Rescue Unboxing Review 

I think the 'rescue' part of the title is what the scene was based off of,because they could be trying to rescue Anders and Forge

I like how Mega went back to the old Warthog building design for this set because it is based on Halo Wars 1 which takes place ~30 years before the current events in the Halo universe. Also, I think the rescue part of the name is alluding to a scene in the first Halo Wars in which Professor Anders gets captured by Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee and Red Team pulls up and attempts to rescue her.

Personally, I would add the fire markings on the warthog but add the gauss cannon to make it like a special warthog.

Good to see Jerome and the rest of his teammates, Douglas and Alice in action once again. I think it makes sense for them to not make a female torso for Alice, considering that the OG Mark IV (GEN1) Halo armor they’ve worn (also including Daisy, Margaret and Cal) doesn’t exactly make them quite as distinctive as it just made them all look like muscular chads in general, unlike Halo 4/5 and then Infinite which makes them look more streamlined and a lot more distinctive by their torso and their bottoms. The OG Halo 3 shotgun is finally fixed? Looks like I have good reasons not to reject it, and just by you giving it to Alice by the handle, just reminded me of them pumping the shotgun with one hand by using the inertia. And, sorry to see you got Douglas being messed up with his armor. His looks a lot worse than my silver Recruit’s back armor chipping off. Seeing the UNSC Elephant is really cool, as well as seeing our beloved character Sgt. Johnson being the cupid for saying dee-vine intervention for the fellow Marines that were afraid of the Scarab. Other sets that I’d love to see being made, would have to be the SPARTAN-II Black Team, and an ODST Fireteam being led by Cal-141 during the events of Halo Legends: The Babysitter. Doesn’t hurt to try honoring the Spartans we’ve lost.

It would’ve been funny if Mega upscaled the guns like they were when the first sets came out

The reason it’s called “red team rescue” is from the scene in HW1 when the three of them in a hog try to rescue Anders and Forge from the arbiter

All Bungie style warthogs are 1 stud shorter than the 343 style warthogs because the 343 style warthogs use a specialized piece with the hand rails that stick out of the side

there actually is a female mark iv chestplate piece that's used for kelly and linda, but i do agree with the fact that alice doesnt really need one anyway

This set is so nostalgic! I remember when I was 7 I had the winter warthog but I sadly lost it while moving I think my parents put it in storage because I found it’s box in a box full of random things we threw out but I know no extra pieces were in there but I can’t wait to get this warthog! Edit:Bro stop puting weapons in their left hands! Red team is RIGHT handed! Except Douglass he is a both handed person!

This plus the noble team set plus the Chief and arby set 😭😭😭 straight bangers

I love how we get all of red team in the same set, especially in the same green

Cannot belive we still do not have a grizzly tank by far the best halo veichle.

The new one is a M12LRV and the infinite one is the M12LRV-B the ones used by the spirit of fire is the covenant war error version the one that seen an infinite is the postwar version, which has had several upgrades and redesigns to its chasse

I like how he said that he was gana take a look at Jerome and he strate up said Douglas

The rescue part is a nod to halo wars

my Douglas came with no legs. Yours is kinda cool, coulda made a version of him all beat up by Atriox after he crushes his shoulder

💯100% one of the best warthogs Noce review!

the messed up shoulder on Douglass’s armour is from when Atriox crushed his armour

I just picked this up yesterday. Nice little build and good figs. I like it. The suspension was a pain in the ass though

I love the Mark IV. That cyan one looks awesome mainly because of the wash it has.

Douglas did get his shoulder crushed by atriox so technically that is lore accurate :P

One more thing! Maybe rescue comes from how they will recur Mega from bankruptcy!😂

i didn't relies that it was out yet so this shocked me very much but i got to say i think your reviews are very fun to watch.

Just got this set and for some reason they didn’t include the shield pieces for the Chaingun but included them for the gauss canon!

I honestly cant wait to start getting my hands on some of these. I am so glad they got rid of the ugly chasis design from the previous bungie era hogs they made and the other little changes they did make the Warthog one of the best beaten only by the Attack Guasshog and HR Rockethog. I also love the look of Red Team in this set. The older ones looked weird with the marbeling they added to the armor and they lack the sweet looking extra prints on the helmet. Also, HOLY SHIT THEY FIXED THE H3 SHOTGUN! YES! Now I actually want to get more of it again! The things I thin could have made this set better though is if they made this a 40 dollar set and gave us some figs to fight Red Team with like a couple purple PAINTED Hunters or a Elites and a couple Grunts. Also, I dont get why they are still doing the painted backgrounds except only putting them on the side of the box. Stop the stupid braey bunch shit by moving the stand alone pics of the figs to the sides of the box and put that detailed background on the front.

This set has finally arriving in the uk and should be arriving between 14th-20th I can’t wait to build this set

Everyone says that this set is based on HW1 when they rescue Anders but I think it might be based of HW2 when they’re fresh out of cryo and investigate Isabel’s distress call. It would line up, they haven’t had time to upgrade their armor or Hog since they just woke up

Dang! That looks awsome I need to get my hands on one to review it on my channel Nice review keep up the good work and stay safe

About that "new" shotgun, it's actually been around for years and I've gotten plenty of sets and figures with it.

im rly excited for the phantom pack with jega in it

I knew it the shot gun is bigger when I saw the images of Kelly and this set I knew it but people were telling me it’s probably just because they are renders but no I was right

Don’t know if I’m the only one, but the rubber tubes that make the suspension work tore within about a minute of me putting it together 💀

My only complaints are that there’s no printed Warthog front and top lights, the tires and windshield hold piece should be green, and most of the black parts of the hog and turret pieces should be green also

Mega, stop trying to make me go broke.

A Great review thanks , I like the barrier construction , I am hoping to get a couple of these , it is a shame it is an exclusive in USA as I am UK based and my most reliable supplier of new Halo these days is the Amazon USA site

This is a really good review and I look forward to getting it

Just today they came in stock at Walmart and I instantly ordered 2 haha (Canada btw)

WTF EXTRAS,EM I HIGH🤣🤣

Am I the only one that thinks that Mega Construx Halo is at it's peak again?

I just noticed that your set had unbuilt figures but mine had prebuilt figures

U think u can maybe start adding links to the sets? It'd make getting to them a lot easier

The “new” shotgun isn’t actually new. I have 3 of them from older sets. I’m not sure from where, however there was a big shotgun, a thin one, and this one which has been rereleased.

Want one for red team, and a gauss cannon. Not to keen on the warthog.

Serrina on the turret😭

Ah 30 bucks, it is quite expensive now,. Oh it was a Walmart exclusive damn probably explains the up price, I'm in UK it's on amazon for 45 bucks idk if I wanna spend that much on it, but I do love red team and want a version of them in mini

Those helmets need to be remade

I woke up just to watch this

I think that This form of Jerome is the better, This color is really good, and all red team is AWESOME, probably one of My favorites sets of all time!

Hey Cbassguy here, sorry you got a messed up douglas! Great review nonetheless

I just got it today and step 6 is getting me really pissed off 😂

I think you mixed up Douglas and alice too , I think Douglas was supposed to have the skull shoulder and alice the bird but idk

I want this set for the figures I have the original Douglas but not the rest of red team

I think (maybe) its called rescue, cause in Halo Wars the spartans would come and rescue the marines? Just a guess i dont know :)

Ngl but I may get 2 of these sets! But great review bro! 💯

What is the spartan armor on these figures, and are there any new assets with this style?

My local walmarts haven't carried mega halo for over a year, I'm screwed 💀

ive been to a ton of walmarts in the last two months and no luck with this or the odst pack...

Ugghh I need at least two of these!

Wait, you can return figure for quality control?!? Wtf. I didn’t know that! How?!?!?!?

If I’m able to get this set I’m going to leave it in flame hog variant because the lack of printing for the hood details on the plain version is too plain. Although that is probably for piece reuse ability

The rescue is you saving Douglas

This is a great set but I can't get hold of its not even on Amazon I think but still great set the figures are great the warhog is amazing and the second build! And one great thing is that you can get the design of the halo warhog run! But I wish they had made the seats better.

Is “Construx” even in the company name anymore because I don’t. See it on the box. It’s just “MEGA” like LEGO”.

Bro my Walmart DOSENT even sell mega anymore 😂 and even if they did they won't only sell little things and not like the red team rescue

Is this set still being produced/sold in stores? Can't find it anywhere. Cheapest I found on eBay is $43.50 + about $10 shipping. Is this worth it or better to hold out for now in hopes the price goes down?

I want this set so bad 😭😭😭 where can I get it

Hey Zee, these are at my walmart, Do you think i should get this? Its a good deal, i need advice lol

I find it odd that the figure weren’t pre-assembled since that have been for the other sets.

4:38 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

did you get douglasis armor fixed

does anyone know if this will release in europe?

5:20 bruh She had long hair

Is the warthog the same as he 10th anniversary one just with the flames?

Sucks your copy had so many flaws with the figures I just got this set and everything was literally perfect.
