Summary
A Tesla Cybertruck sporting a uniqueHalo-themed design has been spotted in public in the US. FeaturingHalo’s iconic matte green color scheme and adorned with the insignia of the United Nations Space Command, the Cybertruck’s original decals finally make a long-running meme into reality.
First introduced in 2019, Tesla’s Cybertruck was designed as a futuristic electric alternative to challenge the hegemony of traditional gas-guzzling pickups. However, gamers quickly pointed out that the Cybertruck’s angular lines and blocky construction resembled those found in low-resolution video games.Memes comparing the Cybertruck to games from the early 2000scirculated on social media almost immediately. One recurring comparison capitalized on the truck’s remarkable resemblance to theHalofranchise’s iconic Warthog transport vehicle despite missing the mounted machine gun turret typically seen in the games.
The memes attracted such attention thatElon Musk and Xbox even teased a potential but unfortunately fruitless collaborationbetweenHaloand Cybertruck. OneHalofan has finally made this dream a reality and transformed the Cybertruck’s stainless steel shell into a vehicle plucked straight from theHalouniverse. Redditor r/DevinOlsen snapped theHalo-themed Cybertruck innocently parked up as if the Master Chief himself would step out any second. Featuring a stunning vinyl wrap from California-based SSCustoms, the Cybertruck resembles a Razorback troop transport, a turretless Warthog variant introduced inHalo Infinite.Cybertruck owners wishing to replicate the impressive look can purchase their own UNSC wrap for $2,700 from SSCustom’s website.
Custom Halo-Themed Cybertruck Spotted in the Wild
Despite near-universal praise from the r/halo community, the Cybertruck’s owner has plans to further customize their creation. After images of their vehicle circulated on acybertruckowners.com forum, user “Gail_Lewis_844” claimed ownership of the pickup. Responding to a post cheekily pointing out that the truck is missing the Warthog’s usual mounted .50 caliber machine gun, the owner states they “really want to add a turret” and is planning to use a 3D printer to modify the barrel of a Nerf turret and create a custom mount and shielding. While they might be the first to convert a Tesla Cybertruck into aHaloRazorback, otherHalofans have previously built a custom road-legal Warthogusing parts taken from Chevy pickup trucks.
These impressive creations are not the only UNSC vehicles in the real world. Various props and replicas have been made forHaloTV shows, and aHalo InfiniteWarthog even joined Ryan Reynolds on the red carpetat theFree Guyworld premiere. Since its debut inHalo: Combat Evolved23 years ago, the Warthog has become not just one of the most enduringly popular vehicles in theHalofranchisebut one of the most instantly recognizable in gaming.
