Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 97295, member: 4966"] Haha. xD Yeah, you're 100% on point with that. I was a gigantic fan of both monster trucks and demolition derbies when I was a kid, Hammerhead was the only choice. It's a shame Hammerhead doesn't get as much love as most of the other OG vehicles, though it's not nearly as robbed as Crimson Fury and especially Yellow Jacket. It was cool to see Hammerhead in 2012, but I always wished you'd get a scaled down version of it as an unlockable character, like Minion in Black. That would have been a much better reward from Warthog's unlock method too! Good (bad?) choices for least favorites as well. Augur is a pretty stinky one too. I didn't know it's special was that broken either, oof. I just looked through all the character profiles and endings for 3 and honestly, most the character's wishes didn't match their profiles. I guess Mr. Grimm, Outlaw, Spectre and Thumper were close enough, though none of them really hit the mark. But yeah, agreed that none of the new characters from 3 were particularly good. Club Kid had a decent enough special and Flower Power is the only total hippie in the series. That's... something. x) It's no wonder we never saw them again, except for Super Augur in 4 I guess. Though all the Super vehicles just always felt like laziness on the dev's part because they needed more bosses, especially Augur and Axel as they were just reused models changed slightly. I can see your issue with Pit Viper for sure, I guess I just always liked the design of her car over Grasshopper, though Grasshopper has a lot more personality in it's special weapon. The specials in 1 could be really lame in general. What the fuck were they thinking with Darkside's special? It's wussy and tiny so it's hard to hit with. Not worth the effort. Crimson Fury has basically the same special, but it's a little stronger and it's red. Sweet Tooth and Yellow Jacket don't have very interesting or even different specials either. Microblast and Quatro did feel very out of place, yeah. Microblast was some leprechaun and Quatro was way too sci-fi compared to everyone else. I actually liked the design of Drag Queen as a car, but yeah, the driver will not be missed. x) Trash Man was just a discounted Mr. Slam, though at least it wasn't another construction vehicle like Augur. The Joneses was probably my favorite car in 4. I'm a fan of station wagons, I like it's special and it has a great ending. I like to think Warthog in Black and on is a reference to it. Otherwise, Calypso and Meter Maid were neat, though I seem to remember Calypso's special being a pain in the ass because you could easily detonate it on yourself. Hmm, is there anything else you'd want to talk about? I think it'd be interesting to hear what your favorite drivers or levels or endings are. Or even least favorite of those. OR BOTH! Sorry, I don't want to bother or overwhelm you, I'm just psyched to talk to someone who knows as much about Twisted Metal as I do. x) [/QUOTE]
