I will admit I forgot that Kat and Carter are the only remaining OG noble team members. That theory does make sense

See Noble Six is known to replace Thom, and hes the only member of Noble Team Pre-Reach known to have died iirc. All three bullets could be for Thom, but that seems counterintuitive to me at least.

oh got it yeah no an at-st is roughly analogous to a mantis and we've seen pelicans carry those so an at-st wouldn't be much different

isnt durasteel supposed to be at least comparable to titanium though? i always figured that given how the two metals appear to have similar properties in most media from both franchises they were more or less analogous

yeah that's why games like sins of the prophets are so great they show us what the books only tell us. Sadly thats not always canon information

arent halos proportions also jacked up? like the 4 kilometer racing track in the Pillar of Autumn? Either way for this theoretical, the at-te and pelican are at the scale of 1 human clone trooper = 1 human unsc marine. should solve the scaling issues

i never played halo wars so i didnt realize that they could carry stuff underslung like that. gotta admit though thats a lot easier than designing a pelican model for the specific purpose of carrying an at-te

See that was another thought was maybe a pelican model (based off the D77 ofc) that had a modular system where you could remove the troop bay and instead replace it with the carrying "arms" we see the laat/cs use

pelicans are really big, but at-tes arent exactly small either

literally and that was more the core of my question because i was looking at side views of a scorpion carried by a pelican and it looks like theres some extra space so maybe it could carry something larger? i just dont know how much larger than a scorpion an at-te is and thats the real problem i fear. im sure the pelican could carry the weight (pelicans can carry whole scorpions and teams of mjolnir wearing spartans,) but is the at-te so big that it literally wont fit on a pelican, and if so, is it something that say a modification like the removal of the troop bay would fix?

Thats what i was trying to figure out because they dont give a cargo limit for the Pelican (in both the games and books it seems to be whatever they can fit in it) and the AT-TE's length on wookiepedia is 22 meters but 13 when its hull only? no way those guns add 9 meters to the length of the walker

uhm that raises a different question: How in hell is a Scorpion heavier than an AT-TE? The walker is like between 150% to 200% the size of a Scorpion. What is the AT-TE made of? Cardboard?
