Top 10 Most Underutilised Monster Jam Trucks

[@theskicker8856]

I think Inferno was really underutilized. I mean, the truck was around for 5 years, had one TV appearance, and then was pretty much banished to Europe after the first ever Paris show. Great video man your Top 10s are fantastic!!!!!!!

[@lightningracing19]

I completely agree. The 9/11 tragedy played a part in the name change, but I absolutely loved it. Remember seeing it in Indy as a kid. Still have the diecast

[@theskicker8856]

@@lightningracing19 it only got one official diecast release because the original one from 2003 was canceled and was turned into Flash Fire. The trucks name didn’t change except for the 2003 toy.

They should bring Backwards Bob, it's an artistic monster truck with a simple twist, it combines the vanguards with modern art and simply putting the truck body backwards in a four-wheeled monster chassis, THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I LOVE BACKWARDS BOB

[@andylasceski]

I love all of your top 10 videos. They are all about topics that are definitely worth talking about but I wouldn't have thought to make a video about. I love the factuality you bring to your videos

I can agree with the dummy being like “backwards bob looks lame” but I disagree with you saying that all those other things were bad choices, because the robot dinosaur looks cool, and even opens his mouth, the spikes on max D make it look more badass and a shark monster truck is also cool

Radical Rescue was in the ROBLOX Game, Car Dealership Tycoon (and still is but isn't unlockable), it was the most hated truck because it was the only truck in Racing that had a hitbox, and u could sabotage other racers if u stayed in the corner where u go out at before the start of the race, wait for it to start, and then go to the end and hide to where they cant see u, then jump out and make them roll over or something, it and Swine N Dash r pretty random trucks, i dont see y they were even added in the 1st place, i also never even heard of Radical Rescue or Swine N Dash until i played this game, Tanman also made a video on it called "this truck is literally broken" with Radical Rescue in the thumbnail, spoiler: im the one using Radical Rescue to sabotage everyone >:)

You should do a list of time when monster jam trucks and drivers were featured on other tv programs. Like Dennis Anderson in “Around the world in 80 ways”, Chad Tingler and Becky McDonogh in “Penn and Teller: Tell a Lie”, a handful in “Americas toughest jobs”, and wherever else something from monster jam has appeared.

[@autumn_sunflowers2284]

I did not know that thank you😊

[@andylasceski]

Honestly, Monster Jam could bring back many of these identities and have less of so many of the same trucks out. For example, they could bring back Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog on the new custom body style, even though we would all rather see the Mercury body. Dragon's Breath would be cool back against the current Dragon. Give a Megalodon or El Toro Loco driver in some of these to eliminate so many of them out. Fans would absolutely EAT UP backwards Bob live. Everybody loved and still loves Backwards Bob, it wouldn't be an expensive body considering it's just a pickup body style. I'm happy I got to see a fee of these in some Detroit shows when they were still competing

[@thereturnofharlem9030]

I'm glad that I got to see Backwards Bob perform in another town with signatures from the driver because of the Pit Pass I bought for the Rockford, Illinois Monster Truck show several years ago.

[@miketrapper0464]

Backwards bob is a funny one, but also monster mutt junkyard dog I like the look and for sure new custom style would be cool, but either way I’m kinda fine with it I never was a fan of the mercury bodies of monster mutt, they all looked ugly to me

Backwards Bob not being ran was the biggest disappointment to me as a kid. Something about the color scheme and decals made me fall in love with it as a kid. I made my dad drive 4 hours to a show just to see it one year and loved it.

[@metalpunk2864]

I actually witnessed Dragons breath/Spitfire be driven a couple of times back in the day. It was used heavily on the Canadian tour's (aka the maple leaf monster jam tour) especially Toronto. Definitely a underrated truck and it's super nostalgic to me.

The chop top Mercs were cool looking bodies. I think they could have done a cool series called Lead Sled in different colors, but Inthey said visibility was an issue. That said, they could have done stock roof heights and still done Lead Sled as a way to appreciate the older fans as well as the kids. It would give true whole family entertainment besides the 3-D bodies.

Backwards bob is a weird truck. It seems to be a love it or hate it truck. My friend group is split, either they think it's so stupid that it's awesome, or it's so stupid that they hate watching it. I personally am on the later and have always hated that truck. That's prime marketing though! People talk! Really don't get what they were doing at all.

Monster Patrol has left the chat

[@MarvelMTs]

I have it on fantastic authority that the reason Wonder Woman went from heavily promoted to just a field filler was due to office drama. When not running MJ events, Nicole Johnson would run non-monster truck off road events, notably hill climb events, and hill climb off roading’s WF, King of the Hammers. This was completely legal in her MJ contract because while she could not work alternative monster truck events- obviously- non-monster truck motorsports events like rock climbing on weekends where she wasn’t booked, was A-OK. This didn’t sit well with the powers that be, who insisted that she choose the off road ventures or choose them. We all know what happened.

[@andylasceski]

Nicole Johnson never drove Wonder Woman.

@@miketrapper0464 I agree. It was weird because Wonder Woman was around when no other superhero trucks were. Never made sense to me but I think it was to promote the movie

In some ways, I think Feld just doesn't know how to manage their shit. Other people in this comment section have already said it, and I'll say it too, FELD could bring all if not most of these back and use them so that you aren't getting all the same trucks and teams at shows. I love Grave Digger, don't get me wrong, but jesus christ you don't need a Grave Digger at every damn show lol.
