It is an uncommon variant of the standard [[M12 Warthog LRV]], but with a passenger section capable of holding ten passengers bolted between the driver section and the gunner section, resulting in a significant increase in overall length. Conceptually, it is a cousin of the [[M831 Troop Transport]]. However, the M831 Troop Transport only seats three human combatants in the back.

The passenger section is not particularly well armored, being vulnerable to the armor-piercing ammunition of most UNSC small arms fire. This section appears to have a roof with a sliding armored section on it, similar in concept to the sun roof of a modern car, perhaps for quick loading and unloading of troops and supplies and to shield its loads from the elements, and any small arms fire.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 40''</ref>
