Trivia

  • Though obviously non-canonical to the Halo video games as a fan work, Syp The Mighty considers the events of this series occurring sometime after the events of Halo 3.
  • This series is filmed within the Halo: The Master Chief Collection game engine, specifically Halo 3.
  • Before the development of Season 1, various attempts at rebooting the series were attempted between 2012 and 2022 including:
    • A reboot in which Annoyances was to be the first episode of that was originally made while Syp was part of machinima group Firelight Studios to be set entirely on Outpost Black Out. Six episodes were written for this version, with Revoltge co-writing the first two episodes, structured like a sitcom. This version was scrapped upon Syp's departure from Firelight Studios, with Revoltge never being part of the group to begin with.
    • A second reboot that Question and Bagels were made to promote. This version was fully written, with 10 episodes, and would have had a completely different plot with more mystery elements. This version was scrapped while Syp prioritized working on her Bionicle-based stop-motion series Misguided followed by her taking five year break from making videos to focus on making original webcomics.
    • A third reboot while Syp was part of a sketch comedy group 06 Media, with her friends Dagnarrow and Dazalaras to star with her. This version was also fully written, with 19 episodes, once again with a completely different plot that would have saw Jace Casper as part of the main group instead of June in addition to Jones from Major Malfunction as a sixth guard. When 06 Media went on an indefinite hiatus, this version was scrapped.
    • Various unmade versions including a pilot for a fourth reboot set earlier in the timeline of when the guards first meet, an original live action comedy short for 06 Media featuring Geff and Jace, an original webcomic reboot part of Syp's CLEG series, and an original stop-motion reboot using figures hand-crafted by Syp. All of which would be scrapped upon the production on Classic Season 2.
  • Full episodes of the series began being re-released on Spite Box's Tumblr, beginning with Season 1.
