[[AMG Transport Dynamics]] designed the first Warthog prototype in [[2319]], dubbed the "'''[[Z-12]]'''". The Z-12 prototype vehicles quickly proved to be popular due to a well-crafted advertising campaign and adept engineering team which demonstrated the prototype's impressive feature set and unparalleled functionality in the unpopulated remote territories of both [[Luna]] and [[Mars]]. AMG claimed that the vehicle that could "go anywhere and do anything". Within the first eight months of the Z-12 prototype's existence, AMG received over three dozen exclusivity contracts. Most of these contracts came from the [[Colonial Military Administration]]. By [[2321]], AMG Transport Dynamics worked with the CMA and established a deal to cover all of their land-based transportation needs. Around the time of this deal, the Z-12 became integrated into the M12 Force Application Vehicle. In addition, a pneumatically-powered swivel mount and armored body panels were added to the vehicle.<ref name="waypointuni"/> | [[AMG Transport Dynamics]] designed the first Warthog prototype in [[2319]], dubbed the "'''[[Z-12]]'''".

By [[2329]], the M12 FAV had become the most common all-terrain vehicle in service with the military—closely followed by the [[Mongoose]] and [[Civet]] vehicle lines that were also produced by AMG. CMA personnel began to refer to the M12 as the "Warthog", first establishing the vehicle's nickname. Eventually, the Warthog was adopted by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. More than a dozen iterative changes were added to the Warthog, and over two centuries later, after its original creation and design, the M12 Warthog remained the standard utility vehicle in UNSC service. Due to how commonplace the Warthog is, all UNSC personnel are required to know how to operate and maintain an M12 Warthog, regardless of military speciality or branch of service.<ref name="waypointuni"/> | By [[2329]], the M12 FAV had become the most common all-terrain vehicle in service with the military—closely followed by the [[Mongoose]] and [[Civet]] vehicle lines that were also produced by AMG.
