Talk:M12 Warthog

Transmission
So is the M12 a auto or manual?

"It is a highly mobile, all-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering, ICE-powered vehicle equipped with a manual transmission."

"M12's power is generated by a forward-housed low-profile liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE I/C plant, coupled with an automatic infinitely variable transmission (IVT)."--RussellofSwinhart 06:22, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

Step Height Quote
The step Height quote refers to the distance from the ground to the "door" of the warthog to get into the warthog. This is far above one foot so I am editing part saying the ground clearance is less that a foot out, as it has nothing to do with the marines quote. The marine is very likely correct as the "door" of the warthog is at least to the master chief's waist if not chest. - Caleb

Info from Forza 4/halofest
Can somone add the info that was given from the video released that had jen taylor commentating about the warthog with the model in forza 4 from halofest? 69.132.69.87 15:15, 27 August 2011 (EDT)


 * It'd be really informative if someone did, however, I'm not sure on the canon status of the information given.--1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gifEnder the Xenocide 1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gif 07:00, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure that information's canon. After all, why include such detail about its mechanics and mileage if it's not intended to be truthful? So if anyone has the game, or a recorded video of the narration, they can add it. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 12:06, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

It says that the 2553 model was used at the in the crash towards the begining of the war... which would mean it would probably be a 2527 model or something. So it doesn't make much sense ya see... pestilence  Phil,  pestilence!  12:39, 22 October 2011 (EDT)


 * The lastest model of the Warthog was built in 2554 (Cortana says this at the very beginning of the video). She doesn't say anything about a 2553 or 2527 model. Also Cortana is referencing a previous model of the Warthog having survived a crash inside a UNSC Frigate but she doesn't state what date. So really Pestilence, what are you talking about?? And being that the model was built in 2554, that means that Halo 4 starts during or after 2556 (based off Halo legends video) and not in 2553.--Killamint 17:29, 8 February 2012 (EST)

Halo Wars Warthog
Might the base warthog in Halo Wars, which lacks a turret, be the base model (i.e. FAV)? Currently, the main image is that of the M12 LRV. Should, therefore, the image be changed to that of the Halo Wars 'Hog (or a glitched warthog from Halo 3 - although this of course would be non-canon)? Having a flat-beded configuration as the base model would make sense, as suplies, gear, and such could be stowed in the back, and it could easily be reconfigured into a LRV, etc. DefeatingLine 17:05, 6 January 2012 (EST)

I disagree. The main intro image is everything Halo fans are familiar with, Halo Wars notwithstanding. --Xamikaze330 18:17, 6 January 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

Alright; I had wished to avoid confusion that way. DefeatingLine 19:12, 6 January 2012 (EST)
 * The image is fine. No need to change.--Pipboy300.jpg Commander Spartacus  ~  ŤДŁĶ  ~  ĈʘŃŤṜǏΒŨŤǏʘŃŞ  ~  ĚṂДǏŁ  19:17, 6 January 2012 (EST)
 * About one point raised; since there's no visible difference from the base Warthog seen in Halo Wars and the Halo 3 glitched one, would the glitched one be considered canon?Fair field fencer F F F  19:49, 6 January 2012 (EST)
 * Glitches are not canon.--
 * Several wrecked Warthogs in ODST, however, lack turret mounts entirerly. I will upload an image of this.DefeatingLine 21:57, 6 January 2012 (EST)



Actually, I agree. The M12 FAV is treated as a "frame" for the other Hog variants. If the picture of the M12 FAV and the M12 LRV are the same, then whats the difference between the two? By the way, there are also turretless wreckages in Crow's Nest. — S331 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 10:38, 8 February 2012 (EST)

I've found that in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST that ALL destroyed Warthogs that spawn by default are flatbeds, even if there is debris from a cannon near it.--One who survived 12:55, 26 February 2012 (EST)

Suspension change
As many of you should have noticed, Warthog's suspension design changed to an entirely different type - more like current day vehichles', which seems to have much less cross-country abilities than old iconic one. Is there any canon explanation yet, why? PatrickRus 16:50, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Image needed
As per this discussion (if redirect doesn't work, it's the section above titled "Halo Wars Warthog"), would it be possible for someone to upload a picture of a turretless Warthog? It can be either from Halo 3, Halo 3: Recon or Halo Wars. I don't think you can create a flatbed Warthog in Reach... but who knows. :P — subtank  16:15, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

List of appearances
Why is warthog first appeared in fall of reach shouldn't it be Halo Combat Evolved. In the beginning cutscence just a little bit before the part where sergeant Johnson gave his speech to the marines. --SPARTAN ZER0 02:04, 29 May 2012 (EDT)


 * The Fall of Reach was released a little before the game was, so it is the official first appearance of the vehicle. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   03:41, 29 May 2012 (EDT)
