Halo MA5B AEG? Check! Halo's Master Chief Mask? Check! Halo Warthog All-Terrain Vehicle? Errr… not available. The Halo game franchise artifacts are now appearing in airsoft, with that premium priced MA5B AEG already in the market and the Master Chief airsoft mask which is in the market before that. But for those who are fans of the Halo game series, nothing beats arriving at the airsoft field with those in a Warthog All-Terrain for that all-Halo effect?

There's also an alternative to the Warthog, if this will be released to the market and it's just a one-off creation that even the United Nations Space Command found it special to give its designated code name.

Ford Motor Company and Galpin Auto Sports have partnered once again to come up with a unique custom creations and this partnership dates back to decades with all street rods and custom trucks. For the Halo 5: Guardian promotion, they have unveiled the Ford F-150 "Halo" Sandcat.

According to Ford this vehicle started its life as a Lariat SuperCrew 4x4 with an FX4 off-road package and a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. With the makeover, Galpin Auto Sports wanted it as close to the Warthog theme and thus applied the custom matte-green Halo body wrap. Additional stuff to make this custom job work are the Baja XTR off-road conversion kit from Addictive Desert Designs, custom Fox Racing shocks, 17-inch wheels from Galpin, Deaver leaf springs, Currie full floater rear axle, and more.

As an added touch rear passengers can play with the Halo video game as they set-up an Xbox console system in the rear with the headrests equipped with video monitors. This means if you are in the front as a driver or front seat passenger, or as passengers in the back, riding this vehicle would mean fun. If you are able to snag one of these vehicles, then it's something to invite team mates to play Halo in between missions during milsim events. Since it's also a truck, you can carry all the team's stuff and gear at the back.

With all the work made to it, the United Nations Space Command has given it a designated code name as "M552" which is close to the internal code name given by Ford to the F-150 truck, which is P552. F-150 "Halo" Sandcat  will be on display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) at the Los Angeles Convention Center from the 16th to the 18th of June 2015.

If you're not satisfied with the UNSC "M552”, here's a real world four-wheeled Warthog for you to dream of bringing to the airsoft field:
