Talk:M12A1 Rocket Warthog

A picture of the M12A1 in black like it currently is, is required. If I didn't know better, I would say it's just the normal Warthog with a rocket turret and nothing different. ~ Zeka Pamuee 04/08/07 7:52PM

I have a question. in the book "The Fall of Reach" in ch 8, pg 69-70, it says "Mendez escorted her to his personal Warthog parked outside his office. The all-terrain combat vehicle had been refitted; the heavy chain-gun on the back had been removed and replaced with a rack of Argent V missiles." I think that Dr. Halsey is saying that Chief Mendez's warthog is a M12A1 Warthog LAAV. But is it, or is it a completely new Warthog.

sorry, forgot to said who wrote the question, sorry ~Veal 05/04/07

That picture is from an early build of Halo PC before they changed it to have black paint. Its just the normal colored chaingun warthog with a Rocket. Someone should put a picture of the normal black one on there. Also I think I remember seeing a Bungie video from e3 2004 where they were demonstrating new multiplayer things on zanzibar and there was a rocket warthog. Can someone confirm this? Thanks.

Trivia
I'd like to dispute that Mendez trivia on a couple of points.


 * 1) In the book, it says it has a rack of missiles, not three missile tubes.
 * 2) In the book, it says it had Argent V missiles, but the M12A1 LAAV fires standard SPNKr 102mm missiles

Ya that is true, there is a Custom Edition Warthog that has a missile rack (4 missiles), personally to me it seems to fit the description of Mendez's Warthog better.Im Indestructible undefinedDetermination that is incorruptibleTo win the honor of coming home again

Was orginaly green with yellow stripe
If anyone took notice to a picture on the Pc version of Halo, on the back of the box, shows a rocket warthog, but instead of black & yellow, it is green & yellow. Should this be added?

Canon
When I looked through the Halo Encyclopedia I found an image and a description of this vehicle which makes this canon. --  C a  l  l  y  9  9  1  7  13:33, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
