When Testosterone Poisoning hits the road. A Sister Trope to Cool Car, this is the kind where even four wheels isn't enough, you need the diesel fumes and huge smoking pipes and plenty of axles and... well, you have the big rig truck that tends to be a mainstay in action movies and the like. And driving in one of these things is quite ideal for Hard Truckin'. Don't confuse with Truck. |

Terminator The finale for The Terminator has the Terminator chasing down the protagonists (on foot) in an 18 wheeler oil tank truck. Reese utilizes a well-timed grenade to blow up the truck, causing the Terminator to burn and reveal his terrifying metal endoskeleton. Terminator 2: Judgment Day has the T-1000 commandeering a large towing semi, chasing John Connor off the road and into a canal, with only a direct collision against solid concrete stopping it. Later on in the film, the T-1000 acquires a tank truck containing liquid nitrogen, which eventually leads into a huge crash and the now iconic T-1000 freezing/melting scene. |

Tyco released a range of slot trucks. Not racing or otherwise trucks, like monsters or technicals, but Heavy Combination class semi-trailers with a load of some commodity in their trailers. You know, like you'd see on the highway. OK but not something you think of usually racing, or playing with on a race track. It was the need to make such a thing interesting that led to the US-1 comics mentioned above, which are surprisingly fun to read, stupid as they are. | |

Euro Truck Simulator features a realistic take on driving these. Real-life cab-over models from Volvo, Renault, and other manufacturers are available, as well as several Bland-Name Product trucks. Game Mods can add bigger and more badass trucks, such as American-style 18-wheelers. These American trucks are the focus of the obviously titled American Truck Simulator. | |

For Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Megatron adopts a new alternate mode in order to hide in the African savannah that certainly fits this trope. A heavily modified Mack tanker truck littered with spikes and chains, it would fit right in on the set of Mad Max. | |

For some reason, Super Sentai has a thing for dump trucks. There's one in Dai Sentai Goggle Five, Gekisou Sentai Carranger, GoGo Sentai Boukenger, Tensou Sentai Goseiger and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. All but the first carry over into Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Power Rangers Megaforce, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel respectively. Also in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, where a dump truck is selected to be the mecha that represents vehicle Sentai as a whole. | |

Snowrunner is all about driving these. Compared to the Truck Simulator series (which tend to be more focused on highway trucking), Snowrunner and its ilk are all about the muddy, messy off-road hauling. Aside from a range of smaller 4x4 'scout' vehicles, the vast majority of the player-drivable vehicles in the game are 6x6, 8x8, or 10x10 hauler types. | |

The Decepticons had an equivalent in Generation 1 who also turned into a rig, Motormaster, the leader of the Stunticons and the core component of the Decepticon gestalt, Menasor. He was incredibly tough, but in one episode he dared try to face Optimus Prime in a head-on-head collision; it was a Curb-Stomp Battle with the villain on the curb. | |

The GUN Truck from Sonic Adventure 2. It's big enough to fill a whole street, agile enough to make sharp turns at said size, and fast enough to keep up with Sonic. In Sonic Generations, it has rockets for added mobility (including driving along walls), it's constantly dispensing GUN robot troops, and it has three gigantic buzzsaws that it tries to puree you with. | |

Fortnite added working vehicles in chapter 2, which naturally included these. They've the slowest land vehicles out there, but their horsepower means you could scale steeper slopes and run through multiple walls with them until your speed is sufficiently reduced. Then chapter 3 lets you add cowcatchers to them, making them nearly unstoppable. | |

The War Rigs from Mad Max: Fury Road. The one used by our heroes has two massive supercharged V8s up front, the back half of a vintage sedan stuck on the back of the cab for passengers and two defensive nests made from other cars on top of the tanker trailer. The Gas Town rig has an entire 70s Mercedes limo as its cab, and a functioning mini-refinery on the back to allow it to refuel other cars on the road. Several other equally huge and equally awesome vehicles are present but either not technically big trucks (The Gigahorse is more a monster truck, the Doof Wagon's truck portion is much smaller) or quite prominent enough to count (the car carrier occasionally panned across but never seen doing anything significant). | |

Hard Truck Apocalypse: This lesser known PC Vehicular Combat/Role-Playing Game (known as Ex Machina in Russia) and it's expansion. You start off with a rather plain truck with a machine gun but as you go along you can buy new trucks and upgrades. Heavily modified trucks tend to end up as pint-sized land battleships. Like this one. Crossout, the game's sequel, even allows players to build their own. |

Terminator Dark Fate - Defiance: The specialty of Movement armies are up-armoured and armed big rigs. Fairly capable combat vehicles on their own with the right upgrades, but their main purpose is being tractors for armoured transport trailers packing even heavier firepower like miniguns, autocannons and even heavy plasma cannons. They can also tow heavy artillery platforms. The Founders have military-grade HEMTTs for this kind of work. | |

Rebuild World: The unscrupulous Arms Dealer and Intrepid Merchant Katsuragi trades out of a hulking armed and armored wilderness truck with a heavy machinegun mount at the top he fires, to make the high risk journeys between cities separated by Death World wilderness. As part of a Fictional Holiday called The Great Distribution, the government of the setting provides free transport between cities in convoys of these for economic reasons, since it’s often impossible otherwise. Akira gets assigned on an Escort Mission for one. The rigs have strong Deflector Shields as well as a huge Wave-Motion Gun to help with large monsters. |

Demoriel, the Whispering Demon, makes deals with those who have conveyances, such as cars in the modern age; Milo is wanted by Demoriel because he welched on his deal, and the Peterbilt's driver is another one of his.

The finale for The Terminator has the Terminator chasing down the protagonists (on foot) in an 18 wheeler oil tank truck. Reese utilizes a well-timed grenade to blow up the truck, causing the Terminator to burn and reveal his terrifying metal endoskeleton. | |

And some seasons, like Kagaku Sentai Dynaman, Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman and GoGo Sentai Boukenger/Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, would have their vehicles combine into a tractor trailer form, a low-power high-speed alternative to their megazord configuration when getting there is the priority. | |

In the 1986 film Thunder Run, Korean War veteran and former trucker Charlie is hired to transport a load of plutonium to a military base with a militia all set to intercept the cargo; so he builds the "Thunder", a modified 1975 Kenworth W-900A carrying anti-personnel mines and flamethrowers and also very heavily armored, with the tires alone withstanding direct hits from missiles launched by the militia's technicals. The rig also does a Ramp Jump over a train at one point. | |

The big rig Dead Reckoning from Land of the Dead is a custom built mobile Forward Operating Base with more than enough armor to repel zombies, slots for machine gun turrets, missile launchers, and enough horsepower and raw gross tonnage to flatten any poor zombie that gets in front of the thing.. | |

Twisted Metal: Darkside, in its many iterations throughout the series, is a jet-black semi truck. In the first game, it has a weak special attack (a tiny laser beam) to make up for its heavy armor, but the third game (where it's a boss vehicle that's only unlockable with cheat codes) gives it a devastating combination of a freeze missile and a flamethrower, and in Black, Small Brawl, and the 2012 reboot, its special attack is a burst of speed to ram enemies with. The 2012 reboot gave us Juggernaut. With the game's momentum-based collision damage, driving fast and then braking and whipping the trailer would swing it hard enough to obliterate the smaller vehicles. In co-op multiplayer, the trailer can also be opened to let an ally drive into it and take control of an anti-aircraft gun mounted to the roof. The sides also open up to reveal two rows of large, round, spiked explosives, which are launched forward as its special weapon. |

In the first three films, Optimus Prime has a Peterbilt 379 vehicle mode. Unlike most of his animated appearances, his vehicle mode is a conventional truck (with the engine ahead of the driver), and doesn't have a trailer for most movies. In Age of Extinction, because he's on the run from his former human allies he has adopted a rusted old Marmon 97 cab-over design more reminiscent of his classic look. When he decides to stop hiding and get dangerous he scans a Western Star 4900 Phantom Custom and applies his red-on-blue Hot Paint Job to it. | |

Transformers: Robots in Disguise has a few of these. Scourge is a tanker trailer truck. Optimus Prime, though usually a trailer truck himself, is now a large fire truck whose rear section becomes his battle armor. Mega-Octane, a huge artillery flatbed, is basically a redecoed Onslaught. And Ultra Magnus is a car carrier truck just like the original G1 Ultra Magnus. | |

When he decides to stop hiding and get dangerous he scans a Western Star 4900 Phantom Custom and applies his red-on-blue Hot Paint Job to it. For Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Megatron adopts a new alternate mode in order to hide in the African savannah that certainly fits this trope. A heavily modified Mack tanker truck littered with spikes and chains, it would fit right in on the set of Mad Max. In Age of Extinction, the KSI corporation is attempting to replace Optimus with a superior man-made drone called Galvatron. About the only aspect of Optimus that KSI successfully copies for Galvatron is his alt mode, a sleek gray cab-over semi that contrasts nicely with the boxy, rusted-out cab-over that Optimus starts the movie disguised as. And it probably only happened because Megatron was willing to let them copy that much. |

Spider-Man once fought a trucker who fancied himself a crime fighter named Razorback (who was rather incompetent and had a pretty dumb-looking cowl that looked like a boar's head; the story was written back when CB radios were becoming a fad for motorists other than truckers). Having said that, the modified rig he drove - which he named "The Big Pig" — was kind of cool; he could even drive it using a remote control. | |

Rig-styled mecha would show up about half the time in vehicle-teamed seasons, even in the Super Sentai precursors: Kousoku Sentai Turboranger had a tractor cab for their Black Ranger. Hikari Sentai Maskman and Choushinsei Flashman had tractor trailer rigs forming standalone mecha on their own. Victrailer from Gekisou Sentai Carranger and Artillatron from Power Rangers Turbo, which carried the VRV Machines/Rescuezords. Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger/Power Rangers S.P.D., Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger/Power Rangers Megaforce, and Tokumei Sentai Go Busters/Power Rangers Beast Morphers all had trailer trucks in their respective teams' assortment of mecha. The Go-Busters/Beast Morphers one could even transform into a gorilla. Engine Sentai Go-onger and Power Rangers RPM have a flatbed trailer truck that's part alligator. And some seasons, like Kagaku Sentai Dynaman, Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman and GoGo Sentai Boukenger/Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, would have their vehicles combine into a tractor trailer form, a low-power high-speed alternative to their megazord configuration when getting there is the priority. |

Warhammer 40,000: Ork wartrukks. Each one is unique to its maker, has guns everywhere they can be strapped on (when not using less conventional but entirely Orky weaponry like a wrecking ball the size of its engine), is loaded down with external platforms for fitting extra boyz, bristles with exhaust vents, is lavishly decorated with clan totems, grinning skull symbols and the like, and of course, go faster if painted red. This goes for the typical Ork trukk — the warbosses' and meks' personal rides are invariably even more elaborate and baroque. This trope if often deliberately invoked, as Orks make a point of building their trukks for maximum noise, fearsomeness and smoke production, entirely because they like the look. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has an in-universe unintentional example in "Operation: P.I.A.N.O.," in which a truck taking up the entire width of the highway is barreling down the road, knocking off any other vehicles it overtakes. The driver is a jolly old man who treats this destruction on the road as just another day at work and, until toward the end of the episode, doesn't even realize the Kids Next Door operatives are trying to stop him from completing his delivery of pianos. His truck is just that fast, well-armored, and maneuverable. | |

PlanetSide and the sequel have the Sunderer APC. The original Sunderer is absolutely huge, being almost two stories tall, with half a dozen manned turrets (two anti-tank, two anti-air, and two close-defense) and the ability to carry around two MAX suits. A patch later added a cattle-catcher to the front. The sequel's is slightly smaller than the original, and takes a hit to adaptability (it only carries two turrets, though they are much more dangerous on their own) in exchange for merging in the first game's Advanced Mobile Station functionality (being able to deploy to activate a mobile spawnpoint), breach forcefield gates, and crush smaller vehicles by ramming them. The new Sunderer doesn't look too truck-y by default, but players can buy developer and player-designed cosmetics such as smoke stacks, custom wheels, cattle catchers, and alternate front and rear ends. | |

Transformers: Optimus Prime, plain and simple. Tractor trailers would become a mainstay after that, and Optimus would appear as other kinds of vehicles (and animals!), but there's a very good reason he's most associated with a truck. The Decepticons had an equivalent in Generation 1 who also turned into a rig, Motormaster, the leader of the Stunticons and the core component of the Decepticon gestalt, Menasor. He was incredibly tough, but in one episode he dared try to face Optimus Prime in a head-on-head collision; it was a Curb-Stomp Battle with the villain on the curb. There was also Ultra Magnus, who was somewhat bigger than Optimus because he incorporated his trailer (a car carrier) into his robot mode (the Japanese toy he was based on was a Super Mode version of the one Optimus was based on). Though his alt-mode (nicknamed by fans as the space winnebago) is often depicted as a car with an attached trailer, Rodimus Prime's original G1 toy was a futuristic semi with trailer. While the G1 cartoon often depicted his robot mode formed from both cab and trailer, the Headmasters anime depicted a transformation matching his G1 toy. Finally, there was Octane, a Decepticon triple-changer who could transform into either a fuel truck or a fuel aircraft. |
