The '''M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle''',{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}{{Ref/Reuse|manual}}{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}}{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} abbreviated as '''M12A1 LAAV''' and commonly referred to as the '''Rocket Warthog''', is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ground vehicle. It is a variant of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]].
The '''M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle'''<ref name="ENC"/>, abbreviated as '''M12A1 LAAV''' and commonly referred to as the '''Rocket Warthog''', is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ground vehicle.
 
==Design details==
The M12A1 LAAV is one of the UNSC's anti-armor vehicles, designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles. Despite this, it was rarely employed in the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} Unlike other M12 variants, the M12A1 can be differentiated by its appearance; the M12A1 Rocket Warthog is painted in black and has yellow paint stripes lined through the base. Its seats are also yellow and its tires have a darker color tone than those of the standard Warthog.
 
The M12A1 is equipped with a mounted [[M39 rocket turret]]{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}}{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} which fires three [[M19 missile|M19 SC-HE rockets]]{{Ref/Reuse|manual}} and requires four seconds to reload when the magazine is depleted.


==Production notes==
==Description==
In the [[Halo E3 2000 Trailer|E3 2000 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' trailer]], the featured Warthog sported a cannon that fired missiles like the M12A1 cannon, but looked like ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki />'s [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|M12G1 LAAV's]] [[M68 Gauss Cannon|gauss cannon]].
The M12A1 Warthog is exactly the same as the standard [[M12 Warthog LRV]], except for a few differences:
#It has yellow paint stripes lined through the base, to distinguish it from the standard M12 Warthog. It is also painted black, different from the normal color of a normal Warthog, which is a metallic olive. The seats are also yellow.
#It is armed with a [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret]]<ref name="ENC"/> on the back seat. The turret can shoot three [[Rocket Launcher|surface-to-surface rockets]] before reloading, but like all projectile weapons, it must be reloaded when the magazine capacity is depleted. The reloading time takes about four seconds, similar to the reload time of a [[Scorpion]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
#The tires are a darker color than those of the standard Warthog.


The M12A1 LAAV made its first in-game appearance in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]]''<nowiki/>'s multiplayer mode, and was thus later included in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' multiplayer component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
==Appearances==
In the [[Halo E3 2000 Trailer|E3 2000 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' trailer]], the featured Warthog sported a cannon that fired missiles like the M12A1 cannon, but looked like ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki />'s [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|M12G1 LAAV Warthog]] [[M68 Gauss Cannon|gauss cannon]].


The Rocket Warthog was intended to be featured in ''[[Halo: Ground Command]]'' as part of an upgrade package for the Warthog vehicle alongside quad-treads from the [[M862 Arctic Warthog]].''<ref name="CU">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/community-update-summer-red-summer-blue ''Halo Waypoint'': Community Update - Summer Red, Summer Blue]</ref>
The M12A1 LAAV makes its first gameplay appearance in ''[[Halo PC]]''<nowiki />'s multiplayer maps. Technical details of the vehicle were later expanded in [[Halo Encyclopedia]].


==Gallery==
Another Warthog with a different model of rocket turret will be appearing in [[Halo: Reach|''Halo: Reach'']]. Whether this is intended to be the M12A1 is unclear.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' {{MCCo}}
*[[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]] has his [[Missile Warthog|custom-made and trademark Warthog transport]] similar to the M12A1, although Mendez's Warthog had a rack of [[Argent V Missile]]s.
*''[[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]]'' {{1st}}
*Firing the turret rapidly will significantly decrease its accuracy, so it isn't reccomended to fire full auto.
*''[[Halo: Ground Command]]'' {{C|Never released}}
