It would simply be rude of a website called The Optimus Prime Experiment to not post this picture of the time Optimus Prime and the Master Chief teamed up to destroy a moa.
Perhaps this is why moa are extinct in New Zealand?
It was not because the Māori ate them. It was because of an intergalactic battle between giant robots, genetically engineered soldiers, and birds that KFC could only dream of selling through the drive-through.
The lore implications are obviously enormous!
Somewhere in the deepest corner of the multiverse, Cybertronian warfare, UNSC firepower, and prehistoric New Zealand wildlife all collided in one gloriously stupid battlefield.
Optimus Prime brings the moral authority, Master Chief brings the tactical silence, and the moa brings the ancient bird energy of a creature that absolutely did not sign up to be caught between a Spartan and a transforming truck with a cannon.
This image was the result of a competition that Bungie was running.
