M831 Troop Transport Warthog

M831 Troop Transport Warthog

The M831 Troop Transport Warthog is a United Nations Space Command ground vehicle.

Halo 2
It was originally named the M831 TT Troop Transport and slated to be a vehicle in Halo 2 along with two other Warthog variants, the Snow Warthog and the Jungle Warthog, but since Bungie faced many time constraints, the only new variant was the M12G1 LAAV "Gauss" Warthog.

Halo 3
The concept of the M831 TT was sighted in the Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer, and its presence and naming was confirmed in the leaked scans of the August 2007 issue of the EGM Magazine.

It does not mount a point-defense cannon like most other Warthog models, instead simply having room for five personnel: one driver and a maximum of four passengers. The Troop Transport relies on its passengers for any defensive or offensive assets.

Trivia

 * It is commonly confused with the Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier, a improvised United Rebel Front vehicle with an armoured cab attached between the front and rear ends of the standard Warthog, giving many extra seats. This has only appeared in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
