- "It's a Warthog with rockets and it is awesome."
- — Bungie.net[1]
The M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle[2], abbreviated as M12A1 LAAV and commonly referred to as the Rocket Warthog, is a UNSC ground vehicle.
Description
The M12A1 Warthog is exactly the same as the standard M12 Warthog LRV, except for a few differences:
- It has yellow paint stripes lined through the base, to distinguish it from the standard M12 Warthog. It is also painted black, different from the normal color of a normal Warthog, which is a metallic olive. The seats are also yellow.
- It is armed with a 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret[2] on the back seat. The turret can shoot three surface-to-surface rockets before reloading, but like all projectile weapons, it must be reloaded when the magazine capacity is depleted. The reloading time takes about four seconds, similar to the reload time of a Scorpion in Halo: Combat Evolved.
- The tires are a darker color than those of the standard Warthog.
Appearances
In the E3 2000 Halo: Combat Evolved trailer, the featured Warthog sported a cannon that fired missiles like the M12A1 cannon, but looked like Halo 2's M12G1 LAAV Warthog gauss cannon.
The M12A1 LAAV makes its first gameplay appearance in Halo PC's multiplayer maps (including Blood Gulch). Technical details of the vehicle were later expanded in Halo Encyclopedia.
The Rocket Warthog will be reappearing in Halo: Reach with a different rocket turret model.
Trivia
- Chief Petty Officer Mendez has his custom-made and trademark Warthog transport similar to the M12A1, although Mendez's Warthog had a rack of Argent V Missiles.
- Firing the turret rapidly will significantly decrease its accuracy, so it isn't reccomended to fire full auto.
- As seen in Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View[3] as well as several earlier leaks,[4] a Warthog equipped with two missile launchers is featured in Halo: Reach. It fires three rockets per volley every two to three seconds, and the reticle appears to be identical to that of the missile pod from Halo 3.[5]
