Junkyard Dog is a vehicle from Twisted Metal (2012).
Special Weapons[]
- Taxi Toss: Junkyard Dog's primary special, "Taxi Toss" launches a homing taxi into enemies from behind using the tow winch, complete with the taxi driver trapped inside. Yes, you read that correctly: this vehicle's special lets you throw a taxicab at your enemies! The taxi can also be dropped from behind like a mine and will explode when struck.
- Taxi Detonation: The alternate special, "Taxi Detonation", functions similarly to the Remote Bomb and can be launched or dropped in the environment. Let the taxi cook long enough and it will send out a shockwave upon detonation, which will damage everyone caught in the blast radius.
- Team Health Drop: In Multiplayer team modes, the alternate special is replaced by "Team Health drop", which lets the player drop a "health taxi" for teammates in the environment that can be detonated remotely, the longer the "health taxi" cooks the more it will heal your teammates. Take note however that the "health taxi" cannot be used to heal yourself.
