'''AMG Transport Dynamics''', also referred to as '''Asklon''', is a vehicle manufacturing company. It is based in [[Crisium City]], [[Naniwa]], on [[Luna]].<ref name="CFOD">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/outpost-discoveries ''Halo Waypoint'' - Canon Fodder - Outpost Discoveries]</ref> AMG has contracts for light-armored vehicles for the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Army|Army]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] as well as other vehicles used throughout human space. The company also makes numerous civilian vehicles such as the [[Capri]] and the [[Hog]].

== History ==

AMG Transport Dynamics designed the first prototype of the [[M12 Warthog]], the Z-12, was designed in [[2319]]. The company initiated a well-crafted advertising campaign and formed a skilled engineering team to showcase the Z-12 prototype's abilities in the unpopulated outlands of [[Mars]] and [[Luna]]. AMG claimed that the Z-12 could "go anywhere and do anything". In the first eight months of the Z-12's existence, AMG received over three dozen exclusivity contracts; the largest and most profitable of these contracts came from the [[Colonial Military Authority]]. AMG secured the deal with the CMA in [[2321]] to meet most of the organization's land-based transportation needs. The Z-12 was then redesignated the M12 Warthog. Coming into service with the UNSC, the Warthog became the most popular military all-terrain vehicle. However, AMG's [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] and [[Civet]] vehicle lines trailed closely behind.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/warthog ''Halo Waypoint'' - Warthog]</ref>

In [[2483]], AMG Transport Dynamics began to manufacture lightly armored all-terrain vehicles for the UNSC. AMG produced seventeen different versions of the "Mongoose" line, with the most recent model being the [[M274 Mongoose|M274]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/m274-ultra-light-all-terrain-vehicle-mongoose ''Halo Waypoint'' - Mongoose]</ref> In [[2523]], a rebellion broke out on [[Andesia]]. The widespread insurgency eventually reached the heavily defended AMG Transport Dynamics facilities in the capital city of [[Noctus]].<ref name="BetaLate">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never ''Halo Waypoint'' - Canon Fodder - Beta Late Than Never]</ref> AMG's facility in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]], on [[Earth]] was raided by the [[Covenant]] during their [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion of the city]] on [[2552#October|October 20. 2552]].<ref name="odst">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Mombasa Streets]]</ref> It was destroyed when the Covenant [[glassed]] the city the following day.<ref>''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Coastal Highway]]</ref>

AMG's facility in Andesia's capital city of Noctus was involved with the [[Spartan branch]] and "CMMD GRP SEC 3" specifically.<ref>''Halo 5: Guardians'', multiplayer map, [[Eden]]</ref> In [[2556]], AMG was "flagged for review" by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] after the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|Sedra terrorist attack]].<ref name="Halo Nightfall">''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Walk the Path|ONI: Walk the Path]]''</ref>
