The forerunner warthog should be light blue, and have something similar to the sentinel beam as weapon, which should be a darker blue colour. The weapon would do a great deal of damage to infantry and little damage to other vehicles but will slow or stop them from moving.
Edit:
The warthog will have some kind of big crystal sitting on the front of the vehicle, letting it float. If the crystal get’s destroyed the vehicle will stop moving but if it only get’s damaged and the driver manages to get the warthog into cover the crystal will rebuild. The crystal makes the warthog have some weak blue fog covering it and If the crystal get’s destroyed the fog disappears.
Thoughts?
Good idea i feel that it would be silver with blue as a secondary color. Cause whenever u see Forerunner stuff im pretty sure its silver with some blue.
It would float but u wouldnt see any form of gas or something visual lifting the vehicle.

There will be a human, and forerunner warthog in halo 4. No doubt. This is just how i suggested the forerunners one to be.
They have already showed the halo 4’s human warthog, and it’s almost identical to the the 1’s in the other games.
Forerunner equivalent of the Warthog?
Let’s examine the Covenant equivalents of the Warthog:
Spectre
Prowler
What are these known for? Good traction, 4 seats, plasma turret.
What makes them unique? Spectre has boost, Prowler’s really good at splattering.
What balances them? Spectre is prone to flipping like the UNSC hog and it’s hard to turn while boosting. Prowler is hard to turn and lacks a boost.
Now let’s see what Forerunner weapons have. Powerful, strong force, decent range, good against infection forms, fast rof. Battery drained fast, prone to overheating.
Finally, standard Forerunner machinery (Sentinels). They’re susceptible to small arms fire but use teamwork (at least in CE, on Two Betrayals and The Maw). They can have shields. And they can be compact (i.e. Sentinel, Constructor, Autoturret).
So a Forerunner equivalent of the Warthog would have:
-good traction
-at least 3 seats
-a turret
-fast speed
-something to do with turning (i.e. trying to turn at max speed results in the vehicle spinning like crazy)
-unique physics
-standard Forerunner weaponry
-susceptible to small arms fire
-ability to compact, perhaps to draw power output for a specific trait (i.e. attack, defense, speed)
-possible turret variants (i.e. autoturret like the ones on H2 Wraiths)
I know that there may be a good possibility that forerunner tech will be of use to us in h4,but it is kinda…early to start assuming that there will be anything like the warthog equivalent in forerunner tech. Canonically, it doesn’t really make sense. they had setinels to build, fight, and protect the ecumene.
Nontheless I think it would be a creative idea,just dont know where it would fit in.
It sounds pretty good:) I like it
