From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

(→‎Specifications: A lot deeper look into the differences of those three.)
Line 50: Line 50:
The M12's design places it into the jeep family of vehicles; it has no doors and has a total seating of two or three in the base model. The M12's description as a "force application vehicle" is spectacularly accurate; the M12 has both offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as intel gathering and supply transport and practically any other task that can be accomplished by a wheeled vehicle. The M12 can be configured to become a troop carrier, armament carrier, ambulance, reconnaissance vehicle, or communications vehicle. All M12-based vehicles are designed to travel both on and off-road, in all weather conditions.<ref name="Bnet"/>

====2552 chassis 2====
===Chassis 2 General info===
Late in 2552 a second chassis was used that 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. Newer Warthogs typically carry several Jerrycans filled with water to be rendered into hydrogen for the engine. Future models of the M12 use this design. This design does not have an antenna on it.
Late in 2552 a second chassis was used that 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 one. This typically carry 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"/>
 
 
Future models of the M12 use this design. Unlike the models used throughout the Human-Covenant War though, the this chassis uses a swing-axle system, a redesigned transmission and drive shafts, and constant-velocity joints.
 
====2552 model====

====2554 model====
====2554 model====
The 2554 M12 Force Application Vehicle "Warthog", uses a similar chassis to the "2552 chassis 2". It has a lighting system 24 LED brake lights, ULED headlights, and a SLED searchlight. Unlike the models used throughout the Human-Covenant War, the 2554 model uses a swing-axle system, a redesigned transmission and drive shafts, and constant-velocity joints.<ref name="Altervista"/>
