[[File:H3 Beta AAWraith Shooting.png|thumb|Driving the early AA Wraith.]]
The Anti-Air Wraith's design dates back to early in the [[Development of Halo 2|production]] of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The vehicle mostly resembles the design that would later be finalised in ''[[Halo 3]]'', albeit built upon the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' model of the regular Wraith tank due to how early in production the vehicle was designed. The AA Wraith was one of [[Cut Halo 2 vehicles|many vehicles]] cut from the final ''Halo 2'' game, though the files for the asset have been restored by the [[Digsite]] project for [[Modding|modders]] to make use of. Due to being built upon a ''Combat Evolved'' Wraith and having more visual consistency with that game's art direction, the Wraith has been formally restored for use in that game - though can be modded into any ''Halo'' game's editing kit. The Digsite iteration of the vehicle was restored by project contributor General_101, who worked to fix the vehicle's textures and UI.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-discoveries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Discoveries|D=17|M=07|Y=2023}}
An early version of the Anti-Air Wraith found in the March 2007 build of the ''Halo 3'' Beta has an [[Cut Halo 3 vehicles#Early anti-air Wraith|early version]] of the AA Wraith available to spawn on [[Snowbound]] in [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]]. This early Wraith is purple like the regular mortar counterpart, and boasts a pair of automatic [[plasma cannon]]s as opposed to the fuel rod cannons it has in the final game.
 
The ''Halo 2'' edition of the AA Wraith has a notable departure from the final vehicle; a purple colour scheme inherited from the base Wraith design. This facet was followed through into early builds of ''Halo 3'' - March 2007 build of the ''Halo 3'' Beta has an [[Cut Halo 3 vehicles#Early anti-air Wraith|early version]] of the AA Wraith available to spawn on [[Snowbound]] in [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]]. This early Wraith is purple like the regular mortar counterpart, and boasts a pair of automatic [[plasma cannon]]s as opposed to the fuel rod cannons it has in the final game.
