User:An elite '92/Type-52 Ultra-Heavy Assault Platform

The  is a heavy assault walker. Unlike the previous model, the w:c:halo:Type-47 Ultra-Heavy Assault Platform, the Type-52 is designed primarily for assault on open terrain rather than for mining. In addition, it can be completely sealed so that it can travel into hostile atmosphere without the need for the Elites on board to wear environmentally sealed armor.

Design
The new Scarab is designed very similarly to the Armadillo, primarily because both are based on the Scarab used in the Great War.

Lower Deck
This deck contains a door at the aft end for deploying the Ghosts on board. Unlike the Armadillo, it has several sections, and it is possible to open only the center section, exposing light armor on the ground to the Scarab's ventral turret while limiting the possibility of boarding. The disadvantage of this configuration is that the door is easier to break through when it is closed. This element was taken from the Phantom. It is connected to the main deck by a ramp in the middle running fore to aft, and at the front is the Ghost bay.

Main Deck
The bridge of the Scarab is at the front. The center contains the main power source and the stairs to the upper deck. At the back is a gravity lift leading to the anti-air turret.

Upper Deck
This is the walk outside the Scarab. It can be sealed from the Main Deck to allow the Scarab into areas with extreme atmospheres without exposing its crew. Unlike the Armadillo, the Scarab does not have an aircraft on board, primarily because it is more intended for direct assault than for deployment of units.
