Halo 3 Iwo Jima tribute and Assassins' Optimus Prime

by Dustin Burg { Nov 17th 2007 at 4:15PM }

We have a case of the lazy Saturdays today, so we figured we'd share two rather fun and delectable pictures with you. The first pic is the one you see above and comes from the crazily creative Halo 3 community who decided to re-create the famous Iwo Jima flag raising (high-res, thanks Halonut1) in Valhalla. It's an effort we feel to be tribute worthy. And if you're not impressed with flag raisings or Halo 3 then you should check out the Optimus Prime cameo in Assassin's Creed. We're proud to say that we had a geeky chuckle when we spotted it.

So ends our lazy Saturday blog post of picture awesomeness, now you can go back to your regularly scheduled lazy Saturday programming. Goodbye.

It just looks somewhat like a semi truck. What makes that Optimus Prime?

Halonut1 @ Nov 18th 2007 12:23PM

Also if anyone finds it tasteless their a idiot.

Nice Halo pic, although if they've gone to all that trouble to do the pic they could've made the last two guys get a bit closer to the flag.
Really good picture though.

And yeah that Optimus Prime pic made me smile. I was expecting to see a robot head.
Well spotted!!
