While classified as a "tank", the Wolverine is not designed and does not operate in a manner akin to more conventional [[Tank|main battle tanks]] (MBTs) such as the [[Scorpion]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Its classification as a tank is instead rooted in historical development within the UNSC. The Wolverine (in particular, its general architecture and framework) was designed alongside more conventional MBTs, leading to the vestigial classification being applied despite not being representative of its true role.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}
