The Missile Warthog is a variant of the M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle.

Description
The Missile Warthog is essentially identical to other versions of the M12 LRV. The vehicles distinctive feature is the replacement of the standard M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun rear turret with two racks of Argent V Missile launchers for surface to air and surface to surface capabilities.

History
One such vehicle was owned by Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez on Reach. As far as is known, the vehicle was not used during the Fall of Reach, given that Mendez was not actually present for the battle. It is unknown whether he took his Missile Warthog with him to Onyx to train the SPARTAN-III trainees.

Trivia

 * The MAAT-9 Wolverine is equipped with the same missiles.
 * As seen in Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View as well as several earlier leaks, a Warthog equipped with two missile launchers is featured in Halo: Reach. It fires three rockets per volley every two to three seconds, and the reticle appears to be identical to that of the missile pod from Halo 3.
