The M12B [[design pattern]] had been introduced into UNSC service by at least late [[2552]].<ref name="T-shirt"/> It incorporated side compartments into the body, features a more angular body style, utility bars over the hood and around the bed, and several other largely cosmetic changes, while keeping a similar design to the first chassis. This design typically carries several Jerrycans filled with water to be rendered into hydrogen for the engine. It has a lighting system of 24 LED brake light and ULED headlights. This chassis has a programmable nano-prismatic paint to refract color at any chromacity, depending on the vehicle's destination. A security bit was designed to prevent marines from tinkering with the finish, based on early and embarrassing experiences of the tech's deployment.<ref name="Altervista"/> Unlike most models used throughout the Human-Covenant War, this chassis uses a swing-axle system, a redesigned transmission and drive shafts, and constant-velocity joints.

The 2554 M12B Force Application Vehicle "Warthog". What is unique about this variant is that is has a SLED searchlight, has "M-12" written on the steering wheel, used the original black colored UNSC insignia, uses a military alphabet stencil for the word "UNSC" and "STEP" on its body, has a yellow battery in the hood, and has an antenna on it. It also has a side rack holding something. In the seating area this one has brown chairs with bars to reinforce them, and a [[health pack]] between the seats of this variant. Unlike other models using this chassis, this one uses a dual spring suspension to keep the vehicle stable in different environments. This model also is darker than other models.<ref name="Altervista"/>

This chassis entered service sometime after the [[Requiem Campaign]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-a-time-to-give-tanks '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - A Time to Give Thanks'']</ref> It is equipped with a variety of new weapons across its variants, including the [[M343A2 chaingun]],<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/chaingun '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Chaingun'']</ref> the [[M555 Gauss cannon]],<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/gauss-cannon '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Gauss Cannon'']</ref> and the [[M80 missile launcher]],<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/missile-launcher '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Missile Launcher'']</ref> as well as a number of experimental munitions, particularly Warthogs operated by ONI forces.<ref name="H5G"/>
