===History===

As its name suggests, the M9 MAAT is designed for anti-air combat. It is not a tank in the traditional sense, rather using a [[Wikipedia:Half-track|half-track]] design which enables it to operate in rough terrain; it received the "tank" moniker due to its development alongside the UNSC's main battle tanks, as well as due to its general architecture and framework.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} After serving in the [[Insurrection]], the Wolverine was used to great effect in the [[Human-Covenant War]], most prominently during military engagements on [[Harvest]], [[Arcadia]], [[Dwarka]], [[Jericho VII]], [[Miridem]], and [[Troy]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} After the Human-Covenant War, the Wolverine was used in the [[Battle of Draetheus V|Battle]] of [[Draetheus V]] against [[Merg Vol]]'s [[Merg Vol's Covenant |Covenant]] forces.<ref>''Halo: Spartan Assault''</ref>

*'''Vanguard Wolverine''' - This Wolverine variant is capable of detecting Cloaked enemies. In Blitz mode, this unit has the "Rush" ability, which means it suffers no deployment fatigue when deployed.

*'''Arctic Wolverine''' - The arctic variant of the Wolverine is equipped with a modified drive-train system to allow for better maneuverability in harsh arctic regions, as well as additional insulation and region-specific camouflage for sub-zero ambush tactics unknown to Covenant forces.<ref>[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/unsc-arctic-wolverine '''Mega Construx''' ''- UNSC Arctic Wolverine 96852'']</ref>
