10) Godzilla
While this monster truck bears no real lizardly modifications and smashes Godzilla-style in name only, it's worth celebrating for the mere mention of the godfather of kaiju (and daikaiju) madness. One day it'd be nice to see this signature vehicle equipped with a rubber skin and some atomic fire, but for now settling on steel and fiberglass crushing will have to do.
9) Taz
In terms of the capacity for spectator destruction, Looney Tunes seems like an excellent place to look for characters worthy of their own monster truck. In this instance, Taz the Tasmanian devil was chosen to embody destruction. Unfortunately, unlike its cartoon counterpart, this Taz can disastrously flip over if it spins too fast.
8) Scooby Doo
While it's definitely no Mystery Machine, this Scooby Doo ride makes a beast out of a typically fearful canine. The dog's monster truck incarnation seems remarkably more focused as well, meaning it probably gets a vaguely stoner-based snack or two for a job well done.
7) Wolverine
As awesome as it would have been to watch a truck armed with razor-sharp adamantium claws rip through enemies and obstacles, this "un-popped" version gets the character across with a suitable paint job and berserker road rage. It's unclear what the emission standards are on novelty vehicles like these, but watching online clips may inspire fans to imagine mufflers that contort the engine's roar to a sound approximating "Buuuubbbbb!"
6) Hulk
Similar in design to the "Samson" monster truck, this two-fisted brute is adorned with Hulk's traditional green skin and purple pants. Given that cars don't wear pants, the paint job takes pains to situate the color scheme in a way that makes sense - not that anyone watching a vehicle with monster arms should really notice. It's strong. It smashes and bashes. The Hulk monster truck does everything it needs to aside from transforming from the form of a Smart Car or equally meek automobile equivalent.
