The M12 Warthog shares parts – and handling characteristics – with the [[Spade]] and its sibling frontier trucks, which means that many recruits are already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial}} | The M12 Warthog shares parts – and handling characteristics – with the [[Spade]] and its sibling frontier trucks, which means that many recruits are already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial}} | ||

*[[WETA Workshop]], based in [[Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]], built a two-third-scale, operating Warthog. It has several numbers on it, some possibly pertaining to that specific model or maybe even that specific Warthog, including, but not limited to, 5c8611, N/AAV-20 (a label similar to the M/AAV-20 that can be seen on the Halo Reach-era Warthog), and others. WETA's Warthog is almost accurate in every function, including a "working" minigun, four-wheel steering, digital displays, air bags, and the ability to "crab crawl". Stamps portraying the number and type of Covenant troops killed can be seen on the dash. This Warthog is featured in the ''[[Halo: Landfall]]'' live-action film series.<ref>[http://www.wetanz.com/halo-3-shorts/ '''WETA Workshop''': ''Halo 3'']</ref> | *[[WETA Workshop]], based in [[Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]], built a two-third-scale, operating Warthog.

*During ''[[Halo 2]]'''s development, [[Bungie]] considered creating more specialized Warthog variants including arctic, transport, and jungle models. The first two models were later featured in ''Halo 3'' as the M864 Arctic and the M831 Troop Transport, respectively, while the latter model was named in the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' as the M868 Tropic. | *During ''[[Halo 2]]'''s development, [[Bungie]] considered creating more specialized Warthog variants including arctic, transport, and jungle models.
