In [[2552]], 12-9F5 was assigned to the frigate {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. In [[2552#November|November]] of that year, during the [[Battle of Earth]], the tank was delivered to [[John-117]] in [[Old Mombasa]] to assist him in [[Battle of Earth#Regret flees|fighting]] his way to the [[Hierarch|Prophet]] of [[Regret]]'s [[Solemn Penance|carrier]]. The Chief, accompanied by two Marines, used the tank to cross the [[New Mombasa 105 East#Kilindini Bridge|main bridge]] leading to downtown [[New Mombasa]], destroying numerous [[Ghosts]], [[Wraiths]], and [[Banshees]] along the way. However, he was soon forced to abandon the tank in a [[New Mombasa 105 East#Tunnel system|highway tunnel]] due to a set of [[blast door]]s preventing the tank from going any further.<ref name="Metropolis"/> | |||

*The tank will sometimes appear with an ID of [[UE8-14]] on [[Easy]] and [[Normal]] difficulties, but will most often appear correctly in [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]]. The reason for this is unknown. | *The tank will sometimes appear with an ID of [[UE8-14]] on [[Easy]] and [[Normal]] difficulties, but will most often appear correctly in [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]].

*Some of the tanks used in ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer (via [[Forge]]) bear the ID "12-9F5". However, the chess decal is replaced with a Scorpion decal, and is a ''Halo 3''-era Scorpion (with a separate seat for a gunner). Thus, it is unlikely that they are the same tank, although the tank could have had an overhaul. | *Some of the tanks used in ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer (via [[Forge]]) bear the ID "12-9F5".
