    I'm a kid from the 80s. It was all monster trucks, dinosaurs, and blazing guns. TF had the dinos but I'm surprised they never made any that turned into a big truck. I suppose the issue would be solving a transformation for the huge tires in robot mode.

    Cybertron (?) Dirt Boss was a monster truck.

    But I would love an up-to-date monster truck Transformer.

    Try checking TFU.info in their ID your figure section under trucks.

    Off the top of my head:
    micromasters Monster Truck Patrol
    PCC Salvage
    Big Hoss, but it's just one of those stealth force things
    cybertron Dirt Boss
    and maybe you can include G1 Crosshairs

    Wasn't there a movie Wheelie or something that was also a monster truck?

    I am disappointed in myself

    Animated Sentinal Prime can pass as a monser truck. The over sized wheels and raised suspension do it for me. The plow may be a reason not to include it but to me I see monster truck when I see Sentinal Prime.

    Yeah, movie Wheelie, but does that really count since it was a toy of a toy of a monster truck?

    And RotF Long Haul/Payload, while technically not montster trucks, are based on a truck that is about as monster as it gets. I've seen those trucks in person and they are freaking huge.

    ah, good one from the archives --- you are redeemed.

    Also, wasn't there one of those preschool Go-bot TFs that was monster truck-ish? or was it just because they all had big wheels? Not clear on it.

    And I did a digibash of TF Prime's Bulkhead into an old minicon dude, Grindor from the Dirt Digger Team. Bulkhead's not a monter truck, but he'd look sweet modded up with some big-ass tires.

    How doesn't that count?

    I mean if anything, it should count more than the others (especially stuff like Long Haul that's pretty much just big) because it's a toy. Think about that for a moment.

    TNS, there were 2 actually (ROTF Wheelie). The deluxe and the legends class.

    @ seekerblackout- Whether he was based on a RC truck or not, its still a monster truck. If a TF was based on a remote controlled car, it would still transform into a car would it not? So yea, it counts.
