Ashley 'the Malteaser' Lovering has sent me this shot of a hunky XF wrecker that has recently joined the wonderful Ken Williams fleet. "This was a Fyffes banana tractor unit." says Ash. Ahhh... And just look what it's called...
Yes it's Megatron, the King of the baddie Transformers! Now here's an interesting thing. Do you think he'll ever be asked to recover this truck...?
If he did would they agree to go quietly or would a major battle break out at the roadside with fusion cannons and laser blasts... Calm down dear er... Biglorryblog! It's only a kid's cartoon series... Anyway click through here for the real Optimus Prime (as far as we know...)
And for a pie... What truck is old OP supposed to be based upon? (And no I don't know - that's why I'm asking you lot)
Hi,
In cartoons/comics anything is possible so take your pick of:
Freightliner Cab-over-engine Class 8 tractor (Later forms have usually been variants of the original)
Cybertronian truck (Various Comics)
Cobra Sentry Missile System tank (Devil's Due)
1920s style truck (Devil's Due)
Kenworth Truck (Combat Hero)
Mid'90s Western Star 4964EX Tanker Truck (Laser Rod)
Lamborghini Diablo (Go-Bot)
Dump truck (Autoroller)
Dodge Ram SRT-10 (Alternator)
