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.

The '''M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle''' (acronym '''M12A1 LAAV'''), more commonly known 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.


==Introduction==
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.
It is a notable variant of the [[Warthog]] series of vehicle, but is by far the least customary. It holds a three barreled rocket turret on the back replacing the [[LAAG]]. It is seen in ''[[Halo PC]]'', [[Halo Mac]] and the Encyclopedia. It's position as the [[UNSC]] LAAV is challenged by the [[M12G1 Warthog LAAV]] in ''[[Halo 2]]''.


==Description==
==Production notes==
The M12A1 Warthog is exactly the same as the standard [[M12 Warthog LRV]], except for a few differences:
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]].
#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]] 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.


==Trivia==
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]]''.

The M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle,[1][2][3][4] abbreviated as M12A1 LAAV and commonly referred to as the Rocket Warthog, is a UNSC ground vehicle. It is a variant of the M12 Force Application Vehicle.

Design details[edit]

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.[3] 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[3][4] which fires three M19 SC-HE rockets[2] and requires four seconds to reload when the magazine is depleted.

Production notes[edit]

In the E3 2000 Halo: Combat Evolved trailer, the featured Warthog sported a cannon that fired missiles like the M12A1 cannon, but looked like Halo 2's M12G1 LAAV's gauss cannon.

The M12A1 LAAV made its first in-game appearance in Halo: Combat Evolved for PC's multiplayer mode, and was thus later included in the Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer component of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

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.[4]
