The Warthog armored personnel carrier is an Insurrectionist ground vehicle.
Overview
It is an uncommon variant of the standard M12 Chaingun Warthog, but with a passenger section capable of holding ten passengers bolted between the driver section and the gunner section, resulting in a significant increase in overall length. Conceptually, it is a cousin of the M831 Troop Transport. However, the M831 Troop Transport only seats three human combatants in the back.[1]
The passenger section is not particularly well armored, being vulnerable to the armor-piercing ammunition of most UNSC small arms fire. This section appears to have a roof with a sliding armored section on it, similar in concept to the sun roof of a modern car, perhaps for quick loading and unloading of troops and supplies and to shield its loads from the elements, and any small arms fire.[1]
Operational history
One was seen used by the Insurrectionists on the planet Victoria in the 111 Tauri System by the SPARTAN-IIs of Blue Team during Operation: SMOKING ACES. It was used to transport the nukes the Spartans were sent to extract.[1]
