The "Hog" is the civilian version of the ubiquitous M12 Warthog FAV utilized by the UNSC Defense Force.[1]
Design details
Designed and manufactured by AMG Transport Dynamics, the three and half-ton civilian edition of the M12 Warthog FAV is available in a wide range of colors, trim, and equipment specifications.[1] 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; a highly efficient, long-range power cell; and the capability to drive itself.
Editions
2549 model
- "Drive with reckless abandon in the new 12th-gen Hog. Comfort, luxury, bone-crushing power; it's beauty and the beast."
- — Warthog advertisement
The 2549 model had less power than the 2553 model per wheel in terms of horsepower and 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 a very high temperature with a synthetic carbon and silicon catalyst to achieve better fuel consumption.
2553 model
The 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 cR 81,000, while the limited edition wood-trimmed Classic Edition with winch, tow and luggage rack tops out at a price of cR 91,000.
2556 model
- "...best driving utility vehicle on the market."
- — Car & Pilot Magazine[2]
The 2556 model is physically similar to previous models of the Hog. It features a trans-system Global Positioning System, multi-user voice controls, high-quality surround sound system, and the luxurious appeal seen in previous editions of the Hog.[2] Actor Jakob Walker was cast for an advertisement of the model on Ganymede.[3]
2558 model
- "Enjoy the latest in comfort and off-road performance with the 2558 HOG"
- — Hog advertisement[4]
The 2558 model has a few minor changes in design compared to previous models, including railings around the vehicle.[4]
Trivia
- A billboard for a yellow Civilian Warthog can be spotted on the Halo 2 multiplayer maps Headlong, Turf, and District, and the campaign level Metropolis. A variation of the billboard also appears in the Halo: Reach/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary remake of Headlong, Breakneck.
- The Warthog and Hog's relation is a parallel to the present days' Humvee and Hummer, and the past's military and civilian Jeeps.
- The Civilian Warthog was featured in the December 2551 Edition of Car & Pilot Magazine.
- The M12 LRV in Halo 3 can be made to look like a civilian Warthog through certain glitches. Something similar is possible in Halo: Reach by simply spawning a Kill Ball and a M12 LRV. Just grab the vehicle and move it into the Kill Ball for a second then move it out. The Kill Ball should render the vehicle without a turret, but the stand for the gun shall remain in place whereas in Halo 3, there is no visible evidence it was ever even there.
