"The Warthog is as much a part of the UNSC as boots, guns, and tasteless coffee." -- Halo Encyclopedia
If there is coffee ^^
But it’s tasteless
*angry Dr Halsey noises*
Lol
Sounds like what Stalin said about the IL 2. Nice touch
I cannot think of anything more human that a pickup with a rocket pod mounted on its back
@@nikoladedic6623 Let's go places
*more american
Damn right.

"It's some kind of cat."
"Like a Puma?"
"Yeah!"
The tank is good to pickup girls
What about "chupa-Thingly" Has a ring to it.
Stop making things up!
@@santiagomartin221 What about the Porsche?
@@santiagomartin221 we're in a box canyon. Where are you going to pickup chicks?
The idea of Marines shipping Warthogs home in pieces is iconic lol
GIs did this with CJs back in WW2, and it was a running gag in M*A*S*H* (Radar was sending one home in the same manner), so no surprise it would be mentioned here!
Send pieces of Warthogs back to Earth, and send pieces of Grunts back to High Charity!
HiddenXperia is that you?
@@genericchannelname4110yeah..... let's not do that second part, they already have plenty of grunt zombies and getting shot by an overgrown zombie turtle with a fuel rod Canon is no fun.
Remember folks, the Warthog is an all terrain vehicle. If it can't get there under its own power, the proper application of grenades and punching it will get it there, and if can't .... then its not terrain.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who spent ours forcing it places it should not go. Jumping on to the halo 2 scarab, running over that grav hammer brute on the arc. Good times.
@@mrdrprof8402 Unfortunately it glitched when you got it on top of the highest scarab platform and just kinda...floated.
@@AFlameofVengance exactly! Glad I'm not the only one!
That sentence about shipping a Warthog piece by piece after retirement made me laugh. Reminded me of a scene from "M*A*S*H" where Radar was shipping back home to Iowa a Willy's Jeep piece by piece.
Same thing immediately... I had to dig up in my external hardrive to watch MASH again... well 255 episodes, here I go...)
I was thinking the exact same thing!!!!
@@Paerigos Good luck with that man. I wish I could watch it again but it got taken off Netflix.
@@owenhammond1880 Ever heard of DVD? I got the complete boxset a few years back.
@@mclatchyt Nice. Now that you mention it I think my local library has em in there DVD section.

_"Watch it now, Pelicans coming in! Brutes have plenty of armor between here and Voi Chief, but this Warthog should help you punch on through."_ - Sergeant Major Avery Johnson
Not a tank to kill every mutha-humper that stand in your way. Not a Hornet to dominate the enemy from the sky.
No, a Warthog.
“Well beyond what its original creators had intended-“

Behold, the WartGod!
The car everyone wants to own.
Shit. I still wish the AMG Uberchassis was a real car.
Arsenal is fast becoming my favourite playlist in the institute
Mine too. Just like every significant figure, location, war or period of time, every weapon, vehicle, ship, building and other constructs holds just as much or maybe even more of a story than people could ever experience in a lifetime.
Jesus Christ, that last words: "Ultimately, The most HUMAN". That gave the chill. Truly the greatest light vehicle in the modern Sci-Fi.
Warthog is literallly one of the greatest vehicles in sci fi
Agree
It definitely has an "Old Reliable" feel to it, doesn't it?
@@mindshuffler3332 yeah
It is certainly one of the most realistic!
Certainly one of the most iconic.
While many vehicles in _Halo_ are powerful, the M12 does indeed represent many of Humanities best traits:
Resilience, Endurance, Adaptability, Creativity, and more beyond that.
Bounciness
Stubbornness?
And perhaps in the future, figuring out how stuff works, so that we can have an M12C with a fusion plant (Master Chief's armor has one, surely they can fit one in the chassis too), and maybe add some deployable "arms" that have those wall-shields you often see on the ground (or perhaps similar to the ones the jackles like to use, as either one is a pretty compact defensive technology) to allow the vehicle to provide an effective mobile defensive wall it can drive around with. Maybe even mount a pair of plasma-sword "tusks" at the front for ramming stuff, make it REALLY live up to the animal it is named after.
Determination.
Old, but not obsolete.
_[WARTHOG RUN INTENSIFIES]_
*GO, SPARTAN, GOOOOO*
It’s amazing that I’ve never owned an Xbox and never played a single HALO game, yet I know and admire the Warthog as a pretty awesome piece of kit
I was PC for 1 and 2. And with every game after that console only, that's all I've played.
"Looks like them Spartan boys are at it again..."
"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy tanks. We had Sticks! Two Sticks, and a Rock for the whole platoon-and we had to share the Rock!
Never forget no matter in which dark corner of the galaxy you are, there will always be a Warthog to run over Xenos!
And other players.
@@stuartmcclurey9926 don't forget tea bagging as well
I just cried over a futuristic jeep...
I am proud to have served with a Warthog.
The next one will be interesting, as will your reaction to it, brother Astartes.
@@NODnuke45 I can already hear the crushing titanic footsteps of an entire walking church...
Sparrows would be better here-
Same here, I don't know why but it made me cry. The whole concept of being the physical manifestation of what makes us human is what makes me have hope for humanity.
@@vincentmalasawmkimajongte7489 What?....
US military: hears “jack of all trades” and “modularity”
US military: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
You know its impressive when the Elites, DURING THE WAR, want functional warhogs as trophies.
Fun fact, light vehicles like the revanent where covenant attempts to recreate/counter the warthog.
Well not true. Its never statet that the Revenant or other vehicles were recreations of the Warthog. The Revenant is based opon an older Sangheili Design, the same with the Spectre. Inventing new stuff was not the strong side of the Covernant and creating something that is close to a human invention would be heresy. Unless you are a brute.
I'm sure they just found it would be useful to drive around their friends back in sangheilios whilst drinking whatever it is Elites drink
*an Elite returns from Earth after the end of the conflict. His wife and children who haven’t seen him in years are waiting for him at the spaceport.*
(With tears in her eyes) “Are you ready to see Daddy?”
(Holding a drawing of her family on it) “Yes mother! I’m going to show him this picture and hope he never ever leaves home again!”
(Clutching her tiny hand) “Yes. With this war over, he may yet stay from now on.”
*a distant flash of light in low orbit signifies the return of the Elites super carrier. Many smaller lights start pouring out of the ship, the Phantom drop ships ferrying crew back to the planet. One starts their approach to this spaceport. Slung under the gravity harness looks like a vehicle, but nothing like anyone on Sanghilios has ever seen*
“Mommy what’s that under the ship?”
“I don’t know child, but it must be a war trophy for one of our soldiers. I just hope it’s not your father’s”
*on final approach to the landing pad, the Phantom drops the mystery cargo about 5 feet from the ground in a clearing close by before finally touching down on the pad. As the door opens up, one Elite immediate jumps out and runs to dropped package in a panic, shouting angrily at the inattentive pilot. He jumps in, activating it, and upon seeing it still functional, relaxes a bit and starts driving to the gate at a frightful speed. All the awaiting people pull back a second, uncertain if this thing won’t just plow right through them. Just when a few start to run, it turns hard, smoke coming from its wheels and stops right in front of the awaiting mother and child.*
“Hi Honey!!! Oh my goodness hi baby!”
“Gods-damnit. There is no way we are having this *thing* at our home!
“But here’s the best part!” *honks the horn, which plays the El Mariachi horn*
“Daddy got a silly trophy! Can I ride it?”
“NOPE!”
Meanwhile some of the old and young warriors in the crowd begin to gather around and inspect the vehicle. After much poking and prodding, a loud cough can be heard from behind them. In the confusion, a human in a sharp outdoors jacket and jeans managed to disembark from the Phantom unnoticed.
“If you’re interested in that, I have more on board the carrier above for anyone who wants a test drive.”
“Me!”
“Me!”
“Me!”
“What is this thing called?!?”
“May I introduce the M12 LRV, but you can call it the Warthog.”
@@JunkPhuJP You gentlemen, deserve a like.
@@JunkPhuJP Call it the warthog.
or Puma.
Stardock is giving us detailed breakdowns and specification coffee to get any nerd's heart pumping, no matter how large.
Templin comes in and gives us swooping, dramatic lore cake.
Can't think of a better combination!
So a futuristic Toyota technical...
I love it!
perfect example of "dont change a working system"!
what is there not to like? an all terrain jeep, that can refuel itself when parked & is sturdy enough to be dropped from a plane!
one of the few vehicles in scifi, we should really concider to adapt for real world use!
Warthogs biggest weakness? Instantly attracts rockets, plasma grenades, and lasers when carrying 3 people or 1 flag/bomb. XD
*I Know You by White Buffalo intensified*
Apparently this thing can survive atmosphere re-entry 🙏🏾 Bless what humanity can achieve when come together & fight dirty xenos aliens 💜😂
That was the part of the design they spent centuries improving on.
It's hilarious that the backbone of the UNSC is friggin technical. Fighting space catholics in a Toyota
They have Armored variants like X-24.
Yeah, its basically a scouting vehicle. We still haven't seen what the UNSC APC equivalent looks like.
The Warthog definitely deserves a video all its own. Not only is it reliable and ingenius in its simplicity, it's just plain cool as well as fun to drive.
at least they start with a vehicle that spacedock hasnt covered yet
Installation 00 did a video about the Warthog
Dude, chill, this content is not unique to spacedock. Also the approach of mixing history and specifications is uniquely Templin.
As the other guy said - Spacedock focuses on the technical aspects and combat history of vehicles, Templin focuses on the societal history and impact of them. It's a complimentary balance.
And Installation 00 does in depth lore videos on halo vehicles and weapons. Holy Trinity
@@TempestCrown and then Installation00 does what spacedock tries to do better so long as you are into the science. Check out his Pelican video its next level.
The best if not one of the best ATV units in sci-fi!
Legend has a it, that once a bunch of marines, stranded on a crashing UNSC spaceship, straped themselves into a 'Hog and drove out the hangar bay. Both the marines and the 'Hog survived the impact. ^^
Watching this video reminded me of a Bill Mauldin WWII cartoon. It showed a broken down Willys Jeep and a soldier putting his pistol to the hood while covering his eyes, similar to a cavalryman having to shoot his horse. The jeep even had a cavalry unit's name on it. My point is the M12 Warthog was to the UNSC what the Willys Jeep was to WWII American military personnel
Without the Warthog, the Master Chief would not survive the first Halo.
So yes, they indeed play their part in saving all life in the galaxy.
I can’t even imagine not riding into battle in HALO without the warthog
Ah yes, the B-52 of ground vehicles
More like a C-130 Hercules.
Probably closer to the DC3 if anything
Best. Fictional vehicle. Ever. Of all time
Not my fault, somebody put a brute in my way.
Always loved the Puma.
longest warthog mod here we goooooo
Over 200 years of use and they never thought of adding optics, proper fire control systems or... Doors...
even covenant got inspired and built a revenant so yeah
All of those exist in canon variants. Tbe in game model has several gameplay variations for balance and engine work. Basically if you can put it on a Hog, someone has, be it AMG, the UNSC, civilians or private contractors. Hell the Innies made one into an APC
Realistically speaking, the Warthog is a horrible design by modern standards.
But so is the Imperial Star Destroyer, the Leman Russ, and Scorpion MBT. Iconic ships and vehicles in fiction tend to fall into this category way more often than not. And that's fine with us
@@alexfrost2799 The only thing from warthog that will probably become real would be the hydrogen engines and it's suspension system too. Otherwise it's a good vehicle to have on road ;)
@@alexfrost2799 that's 100% but I really like being nitpicky and over realistic, have you checked out Spookston's series "Everything wrong with" video game vehicles?
They forgot the most important part of the Warthog
It’s ability to play polka music into battle and instill fear into the hearts of its enemies with the other ability of slow motion car crashing
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT MUSIC??
Hey, it’s the Chupathingy!
I think it is more of a Puma.
What the hell is a puma?
No no, guys. It has tusks on the front of it. So that would make it walrus!
@@gokbay3057 you mean like the shoe?
I have rarely heard someone speak about a machine as elegant and as flattering as you =) Oh yeah, I enjoyed this one! Thanks
Favorite light vehicle and it comes out on my birthday nice
Now we're talking... where my Halo fans at?! probably in active camo
I love the term "Force Application Vehicle", it just reeks of "we really want to be authoritarian wackjobs but we don't want to be called authoritarian wackjobs."
One could almost say a slightly politically correct imperium of man or even early who knows ?
"Enhanced interrogation"
"Force Application vehicle" is an Euphemism on par with "final solution"
I strongly disagree. The AMG Transport Dynamics M12 Force Application Vehicle Is not ment for authoritarian means, merely for troopers to transport themselves and powerful weaponry.
This isn't just a vehicle...it's been our friend...a hard working horse...and most imprtantly...our mate
Memories of deathmatches with only vehicle kills allowed come flooding back. Good times
The photo with the Arctic variant was displayed for Halo 2. I used to read the gaming magazine daily looking forward to Halo 2 to drop.
I always thought that the UNSC could have developed a similar vehicle that provided a little more protection to the crew.
They did. They have full APCs and up armored warthogs in their arsenal
While more protection would be good, it also would hamper some of the warthogs qualities. The absence of doors makes mounting and dismounting faster and the same could be said for cargo storage. Also with the lack of doors, the passenger can fire any weapon that they can carry in the UNSC arsenal. Be that an assault rifle, a shotgun, or a rocket launcher. While the gunner is only protected by a thin plate of Titanium-A, the exposed gunner seat provides unrivaled situational awareness. Useful for urban patrols and anti-aircraft duties.
Razorback go brrrr
It's probably loosely modeled on OG HMMWVs not being for frontline combat use but found there way into that role regardless
So how much did the Templin Institute get in donations to do an 8 minute car commercial? Because so far it's the best sales pitch for a car I've seen.
humans really are just, "this thing is so old, but its so reliable we cannot find a replacement"
Once it reaches a point, even if there's something more reliable, there's just so many spare parts for the old ones, you just don't bother.
M2 Browning and the A-10 warthog :)
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
_"Vroom-Vroom! Pew-Pew!"_ - *Warthog* _ca_ 2550
Love how both Marines and Sangheili Elites love this vehicle so much, they stealing it either intact or piece by piece to bring home. Lol!
I dunno, looks a bit more like some kind of big cat to me. Can't think of what kind though...
What, like a puma?
You beat me to it
@@SpiritOfFire88L Yeah man, there ya go.
I'm so glad I found this channel. I just can't get enough of your content! Really hits me in my nerd spot.
Wait, is that a.... Puma?
what about Chupathingy?
Stop making up things.
I thought it was a walrus
Truly the Warthog is the most human of Halo vehicles.
Anyway, I hope you'll do another video on the Mjolnir armor and other videos on the UNSC arsenal.
This episode should be called "An Ode to Warthog".
Covenant: *Exist in a vehicle level*
Me, blasting Ludacris as I drive: *MOVE BTICH!!*
I didn't think it was possible, but I just got emotional over a futuristic jeep...
Its 1 am and I'm here crying about a fictional vehicle.
Thank you Templin Institute.
6:10 I’ll never understand why 343 thought that adding jerrycans to the back makes any sense, since it’s fuelled by hydrogen.
jerry cans full of uhhhh hydrogen!!
They probably have water, the Warthog can use Hidrogen and water as fuel.
Come on Spartan. Go, Go GO!
Versatile and reliable. I can't think of a better ride
Man, that set of humans really loves that jeep. And you know what? So do I. (Compliments for writing an essay about a car that makes it sound so incredibly meaningful. Y'all have gotten really good at this.)
Always love a Warthog! M12Bs are my favorite, love the design of them!
There's something about how it looks that does make it look like it's very realistic and would perform excellently, I'm not sure what.
Don’t know why it’s called a warthog. Looks more like a puma to me.
Beat me to it
Or a chupacobra
Because those two metal hooks in the front look like hogs so that is how it got it’s name
If u look at it carefully
@@James-wu6qh a puma is a big cat
Aliens: we can glass your planet, are we a joke to you ?
Humans: hahaha Truck go brrrrrr
Why was I expecting Mark with a comically overexaggerated drill sergeant voice to be narrating this?
My favorite Warthog variants are the Troop transport and the Gauss cannon Warthog.
The vehicle with the coolest song in halo attached to it.
"what machine is the most human"
"A fuckin' truck, baby"
When Steven said 'Jack-Of-All-Trades' I was pretty sure he was going to say Jackal, which is used in the same role by coalition forces.
My favorite vehicle from the Halo series. I like it even more now. :D
I liked the way you framed this episode. Good work
Considering how many covies we've splattered with the hog, no wonder elites took them back as trophies!
"I may have been just an OK Halo player, but DAMN could I drive a Warthog!"
- SmartAss aka Me.
Good times and treadmarks on fallen foes!
I think your thumbnail is messed u0. Its showing a car that looks more like a big cat. Like a puma.
This is excellent
More like a chupa-thingy!
"What the hell is that music!?"
Can't wait for you guys to do a video for the Pelican.
I like to think that the concept of a spirit in the Machine is a real concept, sometimes, Machines just keep going, when they have no right to do so. but they do.
When I play Halo and find a Warthog and a Marine I know I will have good time! Warthog is you best friend soldier!
Warthogs are possible to make. It could probably even beat the humvee
*insert comment about cursed halo’s plethora of cursed warthogs*
HALO MAN INTESIFYS
I remember my friend and I getting one of these bad boys into places it shouldn't be on Halo CE, because we dared not leave it behind!
Well made, as always. I hope you guys do a video on the Lightcycles from "Tron" someday.
The title I've given the Warthog, the jeep of the future
as a lifelong halo fan, the m12 is my fav
I've never played these games, but from what I've heard there has never been a single player who used these vehicles who didn't roll them at least once 😅
Truth! But , that’s kinda the joy of driving these things. This vehicle isn’t something to drive “safely”. This is something you drive at 5th gear, no care for the speed limits, and if you see a hill, you gun it and enjoy the air you gain.
*MADE BY AMG* thing is literally tuned to brasses, got that upgrade pack
For Toyota Wars amongst the stars! When it comes down to it there'll always be a need for a technical or jeep. Simple to drive, rigged, easy to repair and maintain.
Best handling of any veichle, and it's 20 years old
Even for none Halo players like me this thing is an iconic military workhorse.
Speaking of Bungie stuff, when ya folks finally gonna get around to some Destiny stuff? I still occasially go back to ya Mars video, love to see ya cover other destinations, or factions or whatever.
Im still watching the 1st ads but ive already liked it since i know this is gonna be great since halo is my favorite game
I like their Iconic death threatening Joyrides
That was beautiful I shed a tear when I was watching this video.
