Did someone mention my name- LOL! IMHO, both stock Elephant sets were great. The larger olive green Halo 3 M313 variant was the more game-accurate stock build. I think it was actually Mega Bloks' first really fantastic Halo themed set. The later, smaller dark green M312 Halo Wars Elephant had that clever deployable cannon on the troop bay roof and looked about right if you didn't look to closely. However there were many inaccuracies and missing common-sense features in that build- for example the forward "Mongoose garage" where the only point of egress was the front ramp! And same with the control cabin only being accessed through the folding wind screen!!! To provide access to these areas, I added doors between the control cabin, the amidships cargo landing area, and even a ladder and rooftop hatch. Yeah this build provided a lot of opportunities for customizers...
