[[AMG Transport Dynamics]] designed the first Warthog prototype in [[2319]], dubbed the "Z-12". The Z-12 prototype quickly proved to be popular due to a well-crafted advertising campaign and adept engineering team which demonstrated the prototype's impressive feature set and unparalleled functionality in the unpopulated remote territories of both [[Luna]] and [[Mars]]. AMG Transport Dynamics marketed the vehicle by boasting that the Z-12 could "go anywhere and do anything".<ref name="universe"/>

Within the first eight months of the Z-12 prototype's existence, AMG received over three dozen exclusivity contracts; the largest and most lucrative of these contracts came from the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s [[Colonial Military ~~Administration~~]]. By [[2321]], AMG Transport Dynamics worked with the CMA and established a deal to cover all of their land-based transportation needs. Around the time of this deal, the Z-12 prototype became fully integrated into the M12 Force Application Vehicle. In addition, a pneumatically-powered swivel mount and armored body panels were added to the vehicle.<ref name="universe"/>
