Line 110:
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Sweet Tooth's special in Black transforms his ice cream truck into this.
** Tower Tooth in Head-On, conveniently hiding in the streets of [[Animeland|Tokyo]] as an ice cream shop.
*** Then of course there's the Iron Maiden [http://thegamingliberty.com/wp-content/uploads/DF2.jpg Dear crap, look at it]{{Dead link}}
*** Then there's also the Carnival of Carnage, a ''hideously gigantic'' [[Monster Clown]] robot built in the image of Needles, by far the largest ''fully functional'' combat vehicle in Twisted Metal history. Its so big that it takes up several levels to fight it (the [[Kill It with Fire|flamethrowing]] clown head beneath it, the giant pinball table inside it, the trap-laden path towards the actual boss, the actual boss itself).
* [[I Am a Humanitarian]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Grimm}} in ''Black''
Line 146:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Does anybody else agree that Calypso in ''1'' resembles a burnt-face Gene Wilder?
** In ''Black'' he looks very much like [[Friday the 13th (film)|Jason Voorhees]] minus the mask.
*** Or Glenn Jacobs, AKA [[
* [[Not Drawn to Scale]]: Scale problems exist like nuts in this series. Axel, a man on a platform stuck between two wheels, is approximately 20 feet tall, judging by the civilian and house sprites on some levels. Even the motorcycle & dune buggy vehicles are house-sized.
** This even leaks into gameplay. In ''Twisted Metal 2'', Axel could run over ''and crush'' any other vehicle short of a boss, justified by being bigger than any of them, despite being just a man standing upright between two monster truck wheels. Yes, he can crush Hammerhead, which is an actual monster truck.
Line 191:
* [[Weaponized Car]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The first game was originally titled ''High Octane'', but was changed due to another game called ''Hi-Octane'', a car-racing game. Then again, ''[[Meaningful Name|"Twisted"]] Metal'' seems an appropriate title for this series.
** Designer David Jaffe [http://comic-con.gamespot.com/comic-con-uncut/p-12.html?tag=topslot;title;5 revealed (about 44 minutes in)]{{Dead link}} that ''Twisted Metal'' could've gone in two different directions post-''Black'': a [[After the End|post-apocalyptic]] title, or a slick, polished look inspired by ''[[Midnight Club]]'' and [[Michael Mann]] movies, the latter of which would've featured Sweet Tooth as a slick, black gangster with the flames tattooed on his head.
*** Actually, the post-apocalyptic approach was being developed after ''Black'' in what would've been ''Twisted Metal: Apocalypse''. However, six members of the team working on that game died in a plane crash, leaving the game unfinished. However, their work did land into the hands of ''Eat, Sleep, Play'', which incorporated the work into ''Twisted Metal (2012)''.
**** I'm pretty sure that plane crash was [[Kayfabe]].
