- "It's Beauty and the Beast."
- — Advertisement for the Civilian Warthog
The Civilian Warthog (simply referred to as the "Hog" in advertisement) is the civilian version of a United Nations Space Command vehicle.
Produced by AMG Transport Dynamics, the three-ton civilian edition of the M12 Warthog is available in a wide range of colors, trim, and equipment specifications. This heavy duty off-road vehicle is extremely popular with off-world explorers. Compared to the military version, this is a luxurious automobile, with trans-system GPS, omni-directional networked surround sound, complete user-specific voice control and a highly efficient long range power cell.
Editions
2549 Model
The last revision (2549) had a slower speed from the 2553 model per wheel in horsepower/kilo wattage. As with every other iteration of the Hog, each wheel has an independent drive-by-wire electric motor, with power generated by a forward-housed low-profile hydrogen I/C plant. The hydrogen fuel is burned at very high temperature with a synthetic carbon/silicon catalyst to achieve better fuel consumption.
2553 Model
The most recent 2553 edition features a Graf/Hauptman solar/saline actuator capable of converting up to 12 liters of fresh, brackish or salt water into hydrogen, with increased efficiency allowing the vehicle to get a range of around 200 kilometers after an overnight condensation capture. It has advanced computer systems that allow a perfect distribution of power to every wheel over any surface and is only prone to flipping in hard-bank turns. Thanks to an increased structural rigidity and gas-inflated restraints this vehicle holds the honor of having the highest passenger safety rating of any recreation vehicles in 2553. The standard model starts at a hefty 86,000 UN Credits. A manual-transmission version stickers at UNCr81,000., while the Limited edition wood-trimmed Classic Edition with winch, tow and luggage rack tops out at UNCr91,000.
Trivia
- A billboard for the civilian warthog can be seen on the maps Headlong and District.
- It is only a drivable vehicle in some of the unofficial fan-created maps of Custom Edition of Halo: CE.
- It has often been claimed one can unlock the Civilian Warthog through a variety of steps but this is untrue. There is no usable Civilian Warthog in the game. You can get a civilian warthog in Halo 2 for the Xbox only by mods. It is possible to get a turret-less version of the Warthog in the Halo 3 map Sandtrap.
- The Warthog's and Hog's relation is a parallel to todays' Humvee and Hummer, respectively. Another is the jeep which transferred to civilian use after WWII
- The Civilian Warthog was featured in the December 2551 Edition of Car & Pilot Magazine.
