Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

The Monster Truck Patrol had chosen sides to work with the Autobots by the time Countdown returned to Cybertron roughly three million years ago, but it is unclear whether they had officially joined as a patrol yet. Hydraulic and Big Hauler joined Crunch and the Hot Rod Patrol in rescuing Roadbuster from a Decepticon attack, and used their Cybertronian horsepower to drag him back to base. Destined for Nothing

Toys

The Transformers

• Monster Trucks Patrol (Micromaster Patrol, 1990)

Released in the seventh and final year of the original Hasbro Transformers toyline in the US (sixth and non-final year in Europe), the Micromaster Monster Trucks Patrol is a set of four tiny robots who turn into monster-truck-show vehicles: Big Hauler the green semi monster truck, Heavy Tread the orange tractor-pull funny car, Hydraulic the blue pickup monster truck, and Slow Poke the yellow "vintage" monster truck.

• Big Truck Team (Micro Transformer Team, 1991)

• ID number: C-361
• Accessories: Micro Trailer #1

These four bots were released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, with no notable physical changes from the Hasbro release.

However, this pack did come with a couple things the Hasbro release didn't: Micro Trailer #1, a small single-bot storage/launcher vehicle compatible with larger toys in the line, and an extra decal sheet with trailer stickers and some extra details to adorn the Micromasters with.

Notes

• The team is called "Monster Trucks Patrol", with a plural-"s", on its toy packaging, but lacks the plural-"s" in the Hasbro toy catalog included with all the toys released in 1990. When Adam Patyk and James McDonough were writing the More Than Meets The Eye profiles series for Dreamwave, they presumably consulted the toy catalog (scans of which were much easier to come by at the time than photos of the toys' packaging), and hence used that spelling as well.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Big Truck Team (ビッグトラックチーム Biggu Torakku Chīmu)
• French: Patrouille De Poids Lourds ("Heavy Truck Patrol")
• Italian: Pattuglia Pionieri ("Pioneering Patrol")
