Establish your army, build and expand your units with the Halo UNSC Pelican Dropship playset by Mega Bloks! Build and recreate epic battle scenes between the UNSC and the Covenant with this authentic buildable vehicle! A mainstay of the UNSC military, the Pelican Dropship's primary role is to deliver troops, equipment and weaponry to and from forward combat positions, making them an essential tool in the war against the Covenant. The key to its longevity and versatility comes from its four rotating thrusters for VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) capability, allowing it to deploy or evacuate UNSC forces within moments of landing. Set your pilot in the fully functional cockpit, load your Pelican's troop bay with UNSC soldiers through the opening rear bay door and take your special forces into action!

Ideal for children ages 8 and up!

The Pelican Dropship has been a trans-atmospheric mainstay of the UNSC for many decades, with only minor design changes and improvements over the years. Its purpose is the deployment and extraction of UNSC Marine forces, with the ability to ferry in mechanized infantry such as Warthogs and Scorpion tanks. (This is somewhat the opposite use of the UNSC's other dropship design, the Albatross, called upon mainly for the delivery of vehicles, but with limited troop capacity.)

Although primarily a trusted workhorse for the Marines, several acquisitions from pirate raids by rebels have made a captured Pelican a favorite of independents in outlying colonies.

Pelicans are often stored in overhead compartments onboard large UNSC vessels. They can either deploy their landing gear, or remain suspended magnetically within their docking frames.

The forward edge of the docking platform is designed to align with the aft payload and troop bay of the Pelican for boarding and disembarking of troops and equipment.

The Pelican's cockpit can accommodate a seated pilot and co-pilot, as well as some standing room for other crew as needed, such as a mission commander. The pilot and co-pilot controls are exactly duplicated. In the event one pilot is incapacitated, the other can fly the Pelican solo from their own console. Under normal operations, a pilot is responsible for vehicle flight, and the co-pilot oversees vehicle/cargo deployment and retrieval, as well as handling firing control.

The compartment between the forward cabin and the troop bay contains a food rations facility, head, and some weapons storage. It also acts as an airlock between the troop area and the cockpit. Overhead, there's the Pelican's upper access hatch to the exterior.

The troop bay has seating for ten Marines, can optimally hold twelve soldiers, but can carry even more if the need arises. There is storage under each of the seats, under removable panels in the decking, and weapons and tools can also be strapped to netting overhead. There are usually two wall-mounted medical kits on either side of the troop bay airlock to the cabin.

The underside of the tail of the Pelican is useful for carrying vehicular support for the troops on board. The dropship features electro-magnetic clamps allowing the Pelican to carry the UNSC Warthog LRV, the Scorpion Main Battle Tank, or other optional cargo. A troop carrier for increasing the number of soldiers the Pelican can carry is not a common addition, but can be added as a payload to the dropship's tail. The troop bay has an airlock seal with the standard troop compartment and windows afford a view for tactical reconnaissance. This addition can increase the number of troops the bay can accommodate nearly six-fold. UNSC weapons canisters can also be individually magnetically locked and deployed from the clamps when an area is not suitable or capable for the dropship to land in.

The Pelican is equipped with EMP-resistant electronics both for tactical reasons as well as the ability to utilize magnetism to mount vehicle cargo.
