"It's a Warthog with rockets and it is awesome."
— Bungie.net[1]

The M12R Light Anti-Armor Vehicle, abbreviated as M12R LAAV and commonly referred to as the Rocket Warthog, is a UNSC ground vehicle.[2][3] It is a variant of the M12 Force Application Vehicle and features a mounted M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System.

Description

The M12R LAAV is one of UNSC's few anti-armor vehicle, designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles such as Type-48 LAGC "Revenant" and Type-32 RAV "Ghost". The Rocket 'Hog is almost exactly the same in every detail to the standard M12 "Warthog" FAV except that it is equipped with a mounted M79 MLRS which fires six 65mm rockets per volley every two to three seconds. It's rockets are capable of locking onto aircraft only.

Trivia

  • It was first sighted in Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View.[4]
  • In campaign, it is advised that you do not leave a Missile Warthog unattended when enemies are nearby, as Elites can get into the turret and kill you with the devastating missiles when you come back.
