AMG Transport Dynamics: Difference between revisions

'''AMG Transport Dynamics''', also referred to as '''Asklon''',<ref name="odst">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''Mombasa Streets''</ref> is a vehicle manufacturing company. Its headquarters was formerly in [[New Mombasa]] before the [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion of the city]] in [[2552]]. It had contracts for light-armored vehicles for the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Army|Army]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] as well as other vehicles in [[human colonies]]. AMG also makes numerous civilian vehicles, such as the [[Capri]] and the civilian model of the [[Hog|Warthog]].

The first prototype of the [[M12 Warthog]], the Z-12, was designed in [[2319]], by AMG Transport Dynamics. AMG initiated a well-crafted advertising campaign and formed a skilled engineering team to showcase the Z-12 prototype's abilities in the unpopulated outlands of [[Mars]] and [[Luna]]. The manufacturing company claimed that the Z-12 could "go anywhere and do anything". In the first eight months of the Z-12's existence, AMG received over three dozen exclusivity contracts; the largest and most profitable of these contracts came from the [[Colonial Military Administration]]. AMG secured the deal with the CAA in [[2321]] to meet most of the organization's land-based transportation needs. The Z-12 was then transformed into the Warthog. Coming into service with the [[UNSC Defense Force]], the Warthog became the most popular military all-terrain vehicle. However, AMG's [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] and [[Civet]] vehicle lines trailed closely behind.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/warthog '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Warthog'']</ref>

In [[2483]], AMG Transport Dynamics began to manufacture light-armored ATVs for the UNSC Defense Force. AMG produced seventeen different versions of the "Mongoose" line, with the most recent model being the [[M274 Mongoose]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/m274-ultra-light-all-terrain-vehicle-mongoose '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Mongoose'']</ref> In [[2523]], a rebellion broke out on [[Andesia]]. The widespread insurgency eventually reached the heavily defended AMG Transport Dynamics facilities in the capital city of [[Noctus]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Cannon Fodder: Beta Late Than Never'']</ref>

*In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the company is only referred to as "Asklon". Their posters can be seen throughout the city, including all the accessible buildings in [[Mombasa Streets]] and even the [[NMPD Headquarters]].<ref name="odst"/> It is possible that Asklon is either what the letter "A" in the title means, or a subdivision of the company.

*The "Destiny Awaits" poster foreshadows Bungie's first post-''Halo'' project, ''[[Destinypedia:Destiny|Destiny]]''. The white circle represents the Traveler, a mysterious object that orbits Earth and grants the player characters their special powers.
