Thumper
Thumper is one of the first vehicles introduced in the Twisted Metal series, making its first appearance in Twisted Metal. It was always depicted as a low rider.
Thumper's Special Weapon traditionally involves a flamethrower, but has seen other changes. Sometimes music resembling hip-hop sounds off when the special is initiated. Thumper's special is usually among the most powerful in the series.
Trivia
- With the exception's of Twisted Metal 3 and Twisted Metal: Small Brawl, Thumper's special weapon has always been a flamethrower.
- Thumper was originally planned to appear in Twisted Metal: Black as a black low rider covered in graffiti, but the idea was later scrapped as they could not find him a suitable driver.
- RoadBoat from Twisted Metal (2012) resembles thumper. Because of this many fans have made thumper skins on the Twisted Metal website to try to bring him back. Thumper can also be painted pink/purple in the Custom Paint Shop to even further resemble the vehicle.
Scrapped Thumper Design from Twisted Metal: Black
Twisted Metal: Head On (though in Small Brawl might still be gangsters) is the only game Thumper is not driven by a gangster.
