When most people catch a glimpse of a Power Wheels toy car haphazardly barreling down the sidewalk, they tend to only see an expensive battery-powered vehicle suitable for overindulged children. Super modder flux83 however sees them as playthings simply bursting with potential. His latest project involved starting with a 2001 G3740 Street Scene Silverado and modifying it into a Halo 3 M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle. It took several steps to complete the transformation (including cutting the body, constructing various parts, bondo modification, and painting) but the resulting Warthog definitely made it time well spent. While the speedometer and headlights are amazing touches, ‘having a great big damn gun don’t hurt, either.’ More pics and a video of the Chupa Thingy in action after the jump.

If only Xzibit would take my Chevy Silverado and turn it into a warthog ;-;

We heard you like Halo, so we put Halo in your Power Wheels so you can play Halo while you Play outside.

Make her a Ghost instead. Ya know, the whole one-seater thing. :)
Posted by soulofaqua on October 9, 2009 at 2:50 am
The other daughter(s) would probably highjack it. I bet they’d get the “Maybe Next Time Buddy” achievement in no time!

well at least that way they’re guarenteed to learn how to drive stick if they have passengers. :)

This is the future of battery powered children’s cars. I hope he tries a scorpion next.

Am I the only one who thinks a kid that young shouldn’t be driving a vehicle based on an M rated game?

VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER
Just be happy that thing doesn’t go over ten mph, or you’d be stuck in the grill before you could say, “THEY KILLED FLIPYAP!”

OMG THAT IS A FUCKING NERF TURRET HOLY SHIT
Posted by xLAS3RP01NT3Rx on October 8, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Angel! You’re getting pretty close to 7 million hits!
Btw, Knowing my parents, thats DEFINITELY my first car.
Affordable, safe, speed barrier of 15 miles an hour…
Lethal weapon mounted on the rear…
I’m Set!
Posted by bs angel on October 8, 2009 at 11:03 pm
This is an excellent idea for a first car actually. No speeding tickets, limited passengers, very little chance of scoring a date … your parents are brilliant!

Best Power Wheels EVAR.
Posted by Crazeye0 on October 9, 2009 at 12:23 am
There’s just one thing.
Where’s the gunner ment to stand? there’s no space at the back, or maybe it’s part Warthog part Mongoose? with the little fold down flap?
Posted by pittofdoom on October 9, 2009 at 6:02 am
Is the turret movable? Cause that would even more epic.
Posted by SPOC on October 9, 2009 at 10:54 am
is that lil poison? he’s so lucky!
Posted by Sailor Harry on October 10, 2009 at 12:10 am
I’mma let you finish, but Weta made a better Warthog.
Posted by DethPwn on October 10, 2009 at 7:36 am
Forget Big Wheels!
Posted by hypnocake on October 10, 2009 at 9:27 am
It would be cool if the turret fired nerf darts.
Posted by suicidalkanoka on October 10, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Cool. I like that the turret can detach.
I do think it a bit strange the kid has his own live account though. (What? I only actually watched the credits of the other video…)
