Added citations (as many as I could find, barring whatever's in the Halo CE guidebooks which I don't have access to). Also quickly searched a digital copy of envoy and couldn't find any reference to this vehicle so removed that.

==Design details==
==Design details==
The M12A1 LAAV is one of the UNSC's few anti-armor vehicles, designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles. Unlike all 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.
