Same developer as Excitetruck but no deets, no screens, no nothing.
Multiplayer will be huge on this because that was the one major complaint with Excitetruck, other than that everything is in the air. But the name lends itself to speculation easily.
Imagine Excitetruck. You're tooling along and get to a fork in the path. But while one road is heavy terrain the other is deep water. You hold down 1 and 2, the wheels of your truck tuck in, you hear a cool sound effect reminiscent of an 80's cartoon, and viola: you're a boat.
While on the boat path you'll see other powerups with pathways. One path leads up a hill to nothing. Grab the power up, hit 1 and 2 at the right time and hot damn, you're a jet. Of course there would have to be structure, so the race would require you to transform multiple times in order to finish the lap, or find a path where you dont have to transform at all.
In essence, this could be trucks, bikes, helicopters, cars, planes, hovercrafts, you name it.
Alternatively... with the word bot comes robot. Trucks that transform in to 2 or 4 legged robots for climbing over mountains, punching through road blocks... perhaps being able to attack each other. The idea of a truck that can reach out a fist to knock an opponent off the track sounds kinda dur hur to me though.
The third inclusion of possibilities is that this could mean that weapons are involved. Rockets, machine guns, etc. But it would also make a lot of sense if this next installment allows you to fully customize your ride.
Do you think i'm close, or way the hell off?
