The Big Rig is the player's truck of choice from the widely-lauded title Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
Bio[edit | edit source]
There are bad games, and then there are bad games. The former generally are the product of well-meaning developers with a gun to their head on the part of their publishers. The latter are formed when Sergey Titov (later known for the short-lived The War Z) decides he needs money, and outsources his newest scam to some malnourished coders somewhere in central Siberia.
As one might imagine, this approach leads to all sorts of oddities. You could, for instance, end up with a racing game that has no collision detection, no AI for other drivers, and a truck that can reach relativistic speeds because no-one bothered to put in a limiter on how fast it can accelerate in reverse drive. It could almost pass off as satire if you didn't know it was a sham.
Much like that one Atari ET game, the sheer infamy of Big Rigs eventually turned it into a cult title. It actually got a 2025 re-release on Steam; allowing you to invest some ten or so dollaridoos to pretend you bought the game, a DLC, and a separate soundtrack ironically.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 2[edit | edit source]
Big Rig debuted in 8chanmania XXXVIII and made a good start - first dismantling fellow heavy-weight vehicle Crazy Bus, then giving detective Daniel Lazarski a case even he couldn't solve, and finally trashing the generic VN protagonist Yuuji Kazami. It ran out of luck when fighting a severely pissed-off Teagan Almace and was defeated via pinfall.
Its next appearance in 8chanmania XLII was a bit of a mixed bag. It had the mixed blessing of facing Sabin Figaro - a man (in)famous for his love of wrestling large vehicles. Several suplexes and plenty of dents in Big Rig's chassis later, the truck was felled in a pinfall, but Sabin - being a good-natured fellow somewhere underneath all that muscle - promptly decided to befriend the vanquished vehicle.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
Big Rig went over and under the road again in 8chanmania LXXII. It resisted Shield-chan's attempts to catch him (presumably by not being a fucking Pokemon), but lost against The Cheetahmen one round later.
For the tag team-themed 8chanmania LXXVI, the truck teamed up with the Crazy Bus. The two roadster defeated The X-Pilots and the Party Baby. but had to learn that miles per hour do not beat genocidal intent when they lost against Luca Blight and Ugandan Knuckles one round later.
Somewhere after this defeat, the Big Rig was appropriated by Kotaro Taiga of The King of Braves GaoGaiGar, who used the truck to form the head section of Turbozord.
