+The '''Independent Wheel Drive Spade''' is a [[civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|flatbed truck]] manufactured by [[TurboGen]]. The latest installment in TurboGen's line of all-terrain transport vehicles, the Spade is a versatile, rugged, and rather affordable vehicle, making it very popular among colonial settlers. the vehicle is named after the [[Spadehorn]], a bovid indigenous to [[Reach]], which belies the truck's use among farmers.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
+==Overview==
+===Design details===
+As its name suggests, the Spade features an independent-wheel drive system, giving it the ability to traverse difficult terrain with relative ease. It is powered by an [[M96 methane engine]] which uses compound energy, capable of powering the truck for long periods of time in physically demanding locales. The Spade's flatbed can carry large quantities of supplies, and a tow cable is mounted to the front grille, adding to the vehicle's utility. The Spade is available in a wide variety of colors.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
+The Spade is designed for operations on rugged colonial worlds that possess only minimal infrastructure. The Spade and its sibling frontier trucks share parts – and handling characteristics – with the ubiquitous [[M12 Warthog]], which meant that many recruits were already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=10|M=5|Y=2021}}
+[[File:Spade NewFrontiers Art.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Spades on Reach after it was glassed.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}}{{Ref/Reuse|BaconTweet}}]]
+===Usage===
+The Spade is primarily used among heavy-industry workers and farmers who operate in rugged environments.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Before [[Reach]] [[Fall of Reach|fell]] to the [[Covenant]] in [[2525#August|August 2552]], Spades were a common sight in the rural town of [[Visegrád]], [[Eposz]] and in industrial facilities based out of [[Ütközet]].{{Ref/Level|Id=Winter|HR|Winter Contingency}}{{Ref/Level|Id=TOTS|HR|Tip of the Spear}} They were also used by civilians on [[Tribute]].{{Ref/Map|Id=landf|H4|Landfall}}
+After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Spades were a common tool of the pioneers who took it upon themselves to resettle and [[Terraforming|re-terraform]] worlds that were [[glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}} One of these worlds was Reach itself, where Spades were used by the pioneers as they worked to bring life back to the ruined world.{{Ref/Site|Id=BaconTweet|URL=https://twitter.com/_darrenbacon/status/1437522810906103810|Site=Twitter|Page=Darren Bacon - It was a piece done for the franchise team depicting a glassed section of Reach...|D=13|M=09|Y=2021}}
+==Gameplay==
+The Spade is a usable vehicle on the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. First appearing in the level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''. It functions identically to a gun-less Warthog, although with [[Jorge-052]] on the team, he will use his [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun]] as a makeshift turret.
+It was also added to [[Forge/Halo: Reach|''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s Forge]] in the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of the game. In this addition to the Forge, it is referred to as "Pickup" and can be recolored to numerous options.
+==Production notes==
+The Spade was known as the "Pioneer" in early concept art.{{Citation needed}}
 ==Trivia==
-*The Spade only appears in two campaign levels in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]] and [[Tip of The Spear]].
+*In-game, the Spade uses the Warthog's entity tags. If the player approaches [[Jorge-052]] while he is riding the vehicle, the message ''"Hold X to ride in Warthog"'' will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag. In addition, in the meta-game stats, Halo Waypoint stats, and on ''Bungie.net'', kills with the Spade appear as Warthog kills.
-*[[Jorge-052]] is able to mount his [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|machine gun]] on the frame of the truck, making an improvised Warthog. However, he can only aim forwards and sideways to a small extent.
+*The logo on the hood is similar to that of the [[wikipedia:Dodge Ram|Dodge Ram]], with the horns modified to look like spades. This logo depicts the vehicle's animal namesake, the [[Spadehorn]].
-*Oddly, the vehicle uses the Warthog tags as its own; when the player approaches closely to the vehicle, a message ''"Hold X to ride in Warthog"'' will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag.
+*Like most civilian vehicles, and unlike the Warthog and the Mongoose, the Spade's horn can be sounded continuously.
-*In the front of the truck, there is a V-shaped badge on the bonnet, and a white ''R'' printed next to the headlights. The words ''ACTIVE TRACTION'' are printed on the side of the truck. Similarly, the words ''"SPADE"'' and ''"INDEPENDENT | WD"'' are printed on the back of the truck. INDEPENDENT | WD refers to the way each wheel is powered independently. The words ''TurboGen M96 Methane'' - ''Compound Energy'' are printed on the driver's side, indicating that the vehicle uses compressed natural gas for fuel, in contrast to [[hydrogen]], which is used in the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] and the [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]].
+*The vehicle, along with the [[Egret Spaceliner|civilian starliner]], made an appearance in the ''[[Halo 4]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Landfall]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|landf}}
-*The logo on the hood is similar to that of the [[wikipedia:Dodge Ram|Dodge Ram]], with the horns modified to look like spades.
+**The vehicle's appearance in the garage area of Landfall is as a stationary scenery prop, and thus cannot be driven. This prop is slightly larger than the in-game vehicle found in ''Halo: Reach''.
-*The Spade appears in four different color schemes during the [[campaign]]: one in yellow and red, another in a sage color, a third with a navy color scheme, and another one in matte gray.
