Template:Ship The M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier is a United Rebel Front ground vehicle.
It is an uncommon variant of the standard M12 Warthog LRV, but with a passenger section capable of holding ten passengers bolted between the driver section and the gunner section. Basically, it is an extension of the Warthog Troop Transport, which only seats three Marines in the back.
The passenger section is not well armored, being vulnerable to small arms fire and appears to have a roof with a sliding section on it, similar to a sun roof, perhaps for quick loading and covering its' loads.[1]
Trivia
- One was seen used by the United Rebel Front on the planet Victoria in the 111 Tauri System by the SPARTAN-IIs of Blue Team in a field mission.[2] As it carried nukes and the Spartans hid behind them as the drones coming after them attack. The nukes provided a shield from the bullets. A rebel controlled MAKO drone gave chase to the Warthog until it released an ARCHER missile which was destroyed by the SPARTANS pelican. Depleted uranium rounds destroyed the missile before it could reach the M12 Warthog which by then was riddled with AP rounds from the rebel "Confetti Makers". The Warthog still was able to reach the LZ for pick up.
- Contrary to popular belief, it is not the transport Warthog seen in early Halo 2 renders or the Halo 3 E3 vid. That is the M831 TT Warthog.
