'''Forge's Warthog''',<ref name="PL"/><ref name="megaconstrux"/> also known as the '''Forgehog''',<ref name="megaconstrux">[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/forgehog-vs-banished-goliath ''Mega Construx'' - Forgehog vs Banished Goliath]</ref> was a customized Warthog that Sergeant [[John Forge]] operated personally.<ref name="PL">''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', [[Phoenix Logs]] - [[Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Forge's Warthog|John Forge's Warthog]]</ref>

Forge's Warthog is a specially customized [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog]], kept out of motor pool circulation on the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and the hands of other [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] and subject to long hours of customization and tweaking.

Sergeant Forge customized the Gauss Warthog with turbochargers, roll bars, a defensive aura of [[Nanotechnology|nanobots]] to repair the vehicle, [[energy shielding]]<ref name="HW2">''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' - In-game unit</ref>, and modifications to the primary [[M68 Gauss cannon]] to allow it to fire an [[Anvil round]]. This turret can also be overcharged for increased power.<ref name="PL"/> The vehicle also has armored doors to protect the driver and gunner and heavier armor plating visually reminiscent of the [[Armored Warthog]] created by [[Isabel]].<ref name="HW2"/>

 

Forge's Warthog also has an [[MQ-96 Support Drone]].<ref name="HW2"/>

During the [[Harvest campaign]] and [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531]], John Forge would often deploy in a Gauss Warthog, though it is unknown if this Warthog was the one he customised in particular.<ref group="note">In the campaign of ''Halo Wars'', Forge is often seen in a Gauss Warthog identical to other Gauss Warthogs in the game. Forge having a customised vehicle was introduced in ''Halo Wars 2'', so it is unclear if the vehicle he employed in the first game is intended to be the custom vehicle described in the Phoenix Logs.</ref> Forge used this Warthog for fast harassment of enemy troops, and kept it out of the hands of other soldiers on the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="PL"/>

*In [[2018]], a [[MEGA Construx]] toy set titled "Forgehog vs Banished Goliath" was released, featuring Forge's Warthog.<ref name="megaconstrux"/>
