Thumper is one of the first vehicles introduced in the Twisted Metal series, making its first appearance in Twisted Metal (1995). It appears in all games of the series except for Twisted Metal: Black and Twisted Metal (2012). It is known for its low armor, average speed, and strong special weapon.

Description[]

In all of its appearances, Thumper is a pink low-rider. Bruce Cochrane is the usual driver for the vehicle, although he is accompanied by Vinnie in Twisted Metal: Small Brawl. And in Twisted Metal: Head-On, it has an entirely new driver, Angel.

Thumper's Special Weapon traditionally involves a flamethrower, but has seen other changes. In Twisted Metal III and Small Brawl, Thumper's special involves music sound waves. Sometimes music resembling hip-hop sounds off when the special is initiated. Thumper's special is usually among the most powerful in the series.
