*[[WETA Workshop]], based in [[Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]], built a full-scale, operating, accurate 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, and others. WETA's Warthog is accurate in every function, including a "working" minigun, four-wheel steering, digital displays, air bags, and the ability to "crab crawl".<ref>[http://www.wetaworkshop.co.nz/projects/filmography/film/halo3 '''WETA Workshop''': ''Halo 3'']</ref> If you look at the driver's side of the windscreen, there are stamps portraying the number and type of Covenant troops killed. It can be seen in the short film ''Halo: Arms Race''. Some of the team members of Bungie were given the chance to drive the WETA Workshop's Warthog. Three members of the Bungie team were driving the Warthog around a parking lot when they scraped the side of it on a small wooden structure built onto the side of a wall. | |||
*The concept of the [[Wikipedia:Hummer HX|Hummer HX]] SUV by General Motors resembles the Warthog in the ''Halo'' games. If it were to be produced, it would be the closest vehicle to a ''Halo'' Warthog with the exception of the [[WETA Workshop]] Warthog. | |||
*A remote control toy Warthog was one of the first Xbox 360 Avatar accessories available after the August 11, 2009 dashboard update that introduced Avatar accessories. It is available from the Xbox Live Avatar shop for 320 Microsoft Points, under ''Halo 3: ODST''-themed accessories. It appears to be the standard M12 recon variant with a [[LAAG]] on the back. | |||
*The ODSTs and Marines can quickly and effortlessly flip Warthogs all by themselves in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', despite not possessing the super-human strength of SPARTAN-IIs, Brutes or Elites, though this is admittedly just for gameplay reasons and is likely not canon. | |||

*The Warthog was originally going to be a Humvee-like vehicle in the early stages of development of ''[[Halo]]'' | |||
===[[Halo 2]]=== | |||
*During ''[[Halo 2]]'''s development [[Bungie]] considered more specialized warthog variants including a "Snow", "Jungle" and "Transport" Warthog. Eventually, the "Snow" and "Transport" variants are featured in ''Halo 3'', although with major design changes. | *During ''[[Halo 2]]'''s development [[Bungie]] considered more specialized warthog variants including a "Snow", "Jungle" and "Transport" Warthog.

*In the ''Halo 2'' level "[[Outskirts]]", it is possible to get an [[invincible Warthog]]. The 'Hog will show damage but cannot be destroyed. | *In the ''Halo 2'' level "[[Outskirts]]", it is possible to get an [[invincible Warthog]]. The 'Hog will show damage but cannot be destroyed. | ||
*The passenger seat aiming system was changed from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to the one in ''Halo 2''. In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the passenger views everything in first-person, but in ''Halo 2'', it was changed to third-person and remains unchanged from the ''Halo 2'' version in ''[[Halo 3]]''. | *The passenger seat aiming system was changed from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to the one in ''Halo 2''.

* | *In the Halo 3 introduction cutscene for 'The Covenant' the Warthog that falls of the back of the second Pelican comes to rest intact, but is later found destroyed in gameplay. | ||

*The Warthog's chaingun | *In the original game, Warthogs were decently powerful units, but their easy-to-build nature made them likely candidates for rushing, which plagued the Halo Wars online multiplayer after its release. To address this in an update Robot made them easier to kill and weaker. | ||
===[[Halo: Reach]]=== | |||
*In ''Halo: Reach'', if you look carefully at the rims of the Warthogs, you'll notice that they say "Puma". This is a reference to ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'''s scene where Simmons and Grif argued with Sarge about whether to call the vehicle a ''Puma'' or ''Warthog''. | |||
*The Warthog's chaingun only overheats in ''Halo: Reach''. | |||
*In ''Halo: Reach'', drivers now hold on to the wheel and gears instead of both hands on the wheel. | *In ''Halo: Reach'', drivers now hold on to the wheel and gears instead of both hands on the wheel. | ||
