Real, working, full-sized Halo Warthog shows up in New Zealand

Only thing that doesn't work on it is the guns

Made for the Halo movie, some film crew guys put together a fully functional Warthog -- and it looks like it drove straight out of Halo. Right now its a part of the Armageddon Pulp Expo, which is taking place in Wellington, New Zealand.

The folks from NZgamer.com took a bunch of pictures of the Warthog, and it the machine is pretty impressive. Down to the controls and the paint job, the 'RL' Warthog looks like an almost perfect replica of the Warthog from the games.

And yes -- it even drives.

It'd be great to take this down a New Zealand highway on a hot day. Maybe crash a rugby match or something with it. Fun times.

That is awesome as hell.

it says the gun doesn't work, and besides, no government would allow someone to have a jeep with a .50 gattling gun on the back.

Amazing. If only someone can make some real plasma weapons already and maybe some Mjolnir armor with real shields.

lol, I'd settle for a bubble shield or banshee would be cool!

Especially if they are for public use, except that the banshee probably won't have any weapons. But, I really wouldn't mind using a Banshee instead of a car. And bubble shields, if improved from the game, could be used if you are caught in a burning buildings and protect you if the ceiling collapses.

Plus, people would have some kind of defense in case their country was invaded or if a criminal runs by wielding a gun.

Oi, what? I don't remember that. I suppose it is in the realm of possibility though.

It actually was for the viral films, not the movie. This warthog and that video have been around for a while now.

Dude how funny would it be if you saw a warthog park in lows foods and a mom with 2 toddlers came out of the car.
