==History==
==History==
In [[2552]], 12-9F5 was assigned to the frigate {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. In [[2552#October|October 20]] of that year, during the [[Battle of Earth]], the tank was delivered to [[John-117]] in [[Old Mombasa]] to assist him in [[Battle of Mombasa|fighting]] his way to the [[Hierarch|Prophet]] of [[Prophet of Regret|Regret]]'s [[Solemn Penance|carrier]]. The Chief, accompanied by two Marines, used the tank to cross the [[New Mombasa 105 East#Kilindini Bridge|main bridge]] leading to downtown [[New Mombasa]], destroying numerous {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s, {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}, and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] along the way. However, he was soon forced to abandon the tank in a [[New Mombasa 105 East#Tunnel system|highway tunnel]] due to a set of [[blast door]]s preventing the tank from going any further.{{Ref/Reuse|Metropolis}}

*Some of the tanks used in ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer (via [[Forge]]) bear the ID "12-9F5". However, the chess decal is replaced with a Scorpion decal, and is a ''Halo 3''-era Scorpion (with a separate seat for a gunner). Thus, it is unlikely that they are the same tank, although the tank could have had an overhaul.

*It is possible to drive the tank past the barricade in the tunnels with a [[Warthog]] and a little patience. However, you will soon be forced to abandon it anyways, as you have to go into the sewer system to advance to the next area.
