AMG Transport Dynamics designed the first prototype of the [[M12 Warthog]], the Z-12, was designed in [[2319]]. The company initiated a well-crafted advertising campaign and formed a skilled engineering team to showcase the Z-12 prototype's abilities in the unpopulated outlands of [[Mars]] and [[Luna]]. AMG claimed that the Z-12 could "go anywhere and do anything". In the first eight months of the Z-12's existence, AMG received over three dozen exclusivity contracts; the largest and most profitable of these contracts came from the [[Colonial Military Authority]]. AMG secured the deal with the CMA in [[2321]] to meet most of the organization's land-based transportation needs. The Z-12 was then redesignated the M12 Warthog. Coming into service with the UNSC, the Warthog became the most popular military all-terrain vehicle. However, AMG's [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] and [[Civet]] vehicle lines trailed closely behind.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/warthog ''Halo Waypoint'' - Warthog]</ref>

In [[2483]], AMG Transport Dynamics began to manufacture lightly armored all-terrain vehicles for the UNSC. AMG produced seventeen different versions of the "Mongoose" line, with the most recent model being the [[M274 Mongoose|M274]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/m274-ultra-light-all-terrain-vehicle-mongoose ''Halo Waypoint'' - Mongoose]</ref> In [[2523]], a rebellion broke out on [[Andesia]]. The widespread insurgency eventually reached the heavily defended AMG Transport Dynamics facilities in the capital city of [[Noctus]].<ref name="BetaLate">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never ''Halo Waypoint'' - Canon Fodder - Beta Late Than Never]</ref> AMG's facility in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]], on [[Earth]] was raided by the [[Covenant]] during their [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion of the city]] on [[2552#October|October 20. 2552]].<ref name="odst">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Mombasa Streets]]</ref> It was destroyed when the Covenant [[glassed]] the city the following day.<ref>''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Coastal Highway]]</ref>

AMG Transport Dynamics has a motorsports division, currently managed by [[Erik Burch]].<ref name="needle">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-needle-me-this ''Halo Waypoint'' - Canon Fodder - Needle Me This]</ref> The motorsports division routinely dominates humanity's high-stakes league of interstellar motorsports.<ref name="driving force">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-driving-force ''Halo Waypoint'' - Canon Fodder - Driving Force]</ref> The division has a notable time-honored tradition for improving upon their engineering capabilities through competition.{{Ref/Reuse|needle}} The motorsports division has produced prototypes and models, such as the dynamic and durable RallyHog, that have earned class victories in both the [[New Carthage Sprint Series]] and [[24 Hours of Quezon]].{{Ref/Reuse|driving force}} Burch attempted to launch [[Project HOGSTICKER|Project: HOGSTICKER]], a project to create a Warthog with [[blamite]]-afterburners, but the project was denied funding by Special Projects Director [[Tyse Jenkins]], who found it to be an outlandish idea.{{Ref/Reuse|needle}}

The name of "Asklon" is derived from the words "Ass clown."{{Ref/Twitter|vicdeleon|1378803117442002944|Vic DeLeon|Quote=And the Asklon Corporation are literally “ass clowns”.|D=05|M=4|Y=2021}} The sign on the [[Tterrab Industries]] building seen in the level [[Metropolis]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' originally read "Askloun."{{Ref/YouTube|C0yjEi4YnDM|Channel=Bungie|VideoName=First Look Halo 2|Time=87|Detail=1:27}} The name was changed to "Asklon" in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In ''[[Halo: Saint's Testimony]]'', a company by the name of [[Asklon Light Atomics]] was introduced, likely in reference AMG Transport Dynamics' alternate name. The relationship between the two companies is unknown.

* In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the company is only referred to as "Asklon." Their posters can be seen throughout the city, including all the accessible buildings in [[Mombasa Streets]] and even the [[NMPD headquarters]].

* In the ''Forza Horizon'' series, AMG Transport Dynamics uses the [[:File:UNSC insignia (post-war).png|post-war UNSC insignia introduced in ''Halo 4'']] as its manufacturer logo.

** Also, AMG Transport Dynamics is referred to as "343" in the internal game files of the PC releases of the ''Forza Horizon'' series, with "343" obviously referencing [[343 Industries]].<ref name="343_Warthog_15">[https://www.thenobeds.com/articles/forza-horizon-4-full-car-list-leaked-by-windows-store ''The Nobeds'' - Forza Horizon 4 Full Car List Leaked by Windows Store]</ref> This is presumably to avoid confusion with Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Benz, both of which are named as "MER" in the internal game files.
