As its name suggests, the M9 MAAT is designed for anti-air combat. It is not a tank in the traditional sense, rather using a [[Wikipedia:Half-track|half-track]] design which enables it to operate in rough terrain; it received the "tank" moniker due to its development alongside the UNSC's main battle tanks, as well as due to its general architecture and framework.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} After serving in the [[Insurrection]], the Wolverine was used to great effect in the [[Human-Covenant War]], most prominently during military engagements on [[Harvest]], [[Arcadia]], [[Dwarka]], [[Jericho VII]], [[Miridem]], | As its name suggests, the M9 MAAT is designed for anti-air combat.

*In ''Halo Wars'', the Wolverine bears a swivel mount for the XM511 grenade launcher even before the weapon is installed. The grenade launcher is absent in ''Halo: Spartan Assault'', making the vehicle defenseless against ground attacks in the level ''[[Mission 3: Reinforcement of the Perch|Reinforcement of the Perch]]''. | *In ''Halo Wars'', the Wolverine bears a swivel mount for the XM511 grenade launcher even before the weapon is installed.

*In an {{Plain|[http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/halowars/video/6201267/halo-wars-story-interview interview with Gamespot]}}, ''Halo Wars'' lead writer Graeme Devine claimed that the [[Mars|Martian]] factory responsible for producing the Wolverine was bombed by [[Insurrectionist]]s in [[2535]], halting further production of the vehicle. However, ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' establishes [[Reach]]-based Ushuaia Armory as the Wolverine's manufacturer and makes no mention of the insurgent attack. Even if one of Ushuaia's factories on Mars were indeed destroyed, the company would still have access to their facilities on Reach and likely other planets, negating Devine's suspect explanation. | *In an {{Plain|[http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/halowars/video/6201267/halo-wars-story-interview interview with Gamespot]}}, ''Halo Wars'' lead writer Graeme Devine claimed that the [[Mars|Martian]] factory responsible for producing the Wolverine was bombed by [[Insurrectionist]]s in [[2535]], halting further production of the vehicle.
