Major Malfunction is a Halo-based machinima comedy miniseries created by Syp The Mighty, Chron Aldazaar, MozzyWozzy, and LizDanceTV as Steel Lion Media. It was directed by Syp and written by Chron Aldazaar, MozzyWozzy, LizDanceTV, and Syp.

Trivia

  • The title of this series comes from the question "What's your major malfunction, numbnuts?!", exclaimed by R. Lee Ermey's character Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket.
  • The logo for this series was designed by Corvaeraas, another member of Steel Lion Media and friend of Syp The Mighty.
  • Over ten years after this series ended on a cliffhanger, the final two episodes of WarGames would reveal the fates of the guards here and who was attacking. This retroactively made Major Malfunction canonical to Guard Duty, which was not the intent during its production.
  • A reboot of this series was produced by Firelight Studios around the same time as Annoyances in 2012, now called Major Malfunction II, that featured the same characters but Jones now wore an ODST helmet and O'Brien dies in the third episode. It was left unfinished, though Syp did make a joke continuation of it in 2024.
  • If the series had continued, there were plans for Corvaeraas (voice of the Brigadier) to voice a character named "Payne" while Syp's other friend Blankslate_GG (current voice of O'Brien) would voice a character name "Jasper".
  • While original music from Revoltge was used in this series, the actual tunes were composed for Guard Duty after the production of its first season. These tunes would finally see use in Classic Season 2, over ten years later, though Major Malfunction is technically where they were first heard.
  • Unlike other Guard Duty-related series, which are hosted on the Spite Box channel, individual episodes of Major Malfunction are instead archived on Syp's personal channel.
  • As director, lead writer, and co-creator, Syp retained ownership of the series after Steel Lion Media became defunct.
