I’m so excited for the Hawaii expansion on Monster Jam Showdown, I honestly do hope we get more Expansions on MJ Showdown w/ more Tracks for Circuit Racing, Horde, Survivor, more tracks for Extreme Racing and Extreme Freestyle and of course more Stadium tracks for Stadium Racing (Head to head) best trick and Freestyle as well. I honestly hope I’m not the ONLY 1 in that feeling of wanting MORE Stadium tracks in Monster Jam Showdown and same for more environments for Circuit racing, Horde, Extreme Racing and extreme freestyle modes all on Monster Jam Showdown
The Grave Digger Legacy pack looks absolutely fire! 🔥 Bringing the 25th and 30th anniversary liveries back including standard and the special bodies. When I get the chance, I would mostly use 25th Anniversary Chrome and 30th Anniversary Purple and Green.
The Primer Digger was made for mud bogs when it was created back in 1982, ToucanPlays. On a side note and as your friend, I need you to look up the history of Grave Digger, because I think you would be really amazed with it.
I've done some research, like I did know that the original red GD was a mud bogger as was GD1/grandma. It wasn't too long after that though that Dennis started competing in monster truck races.
Some Important Things I Saw With The 25th Anniversary Standerd Is That On the Roof,The Bad to the Bone Logo is Green Instead of Red! A Reference To The 2007 Video Game When Grave Digger's Roof only Showed Bad to The Bone But In Green instead of red! And For the 30TH anniversary Standerd! I Love how They Gave it Grey rims As another Reference To Grave digger's Old Rim color Before it Changed to Green AWESOME
Grave Digger XX (20) was Dennis' ride from 2007 to 2013. it was easily Dennis' highest performing chassis at the time. I think displaying the 18 on the helmet is just a bit of cutting corners on Milestones end. Grave Digger XVIII (18) was i believe Pablo Huffakers grave digger during 2007 which ran that scheme exclusively. Dennis only ran the chrome scheme at world finals, which is why it has 20. The scheme was exclusive to GD20
Ah that makes sense. And yeah, I kinda figured it was some corner cutting on milestone's part. They should have just erased the numerals like they erased Tom Meents from maximum destruction :(
To me it looks like there will be no arena map for Hawaii but instead 3 separate island maps and I’m hoping we get, 1 beach front location, 1 evening city location, and 1 volcano mountain location and I hope we get smoke and ash as the elemental environment. That would be cool
Hmmm, I think they've said that we're going to get an arena/stadium already. I have a feeling the map will be setup just the same as the current ones, 4 zones, 6 maps 1 arena, 1 extreme freestyle/head2head which will also double as the online maps for treasure hunt and survival.
They do huh!?! I still feel that some of them could have been liveries of OG Grave Digger, and/or weren't needed, like 25th ice, but still a great collection.
GD 1 was a 1951 ford. Dennis was a Chevy guy but started out with a ford basically what he could afford. the legend/grandma were also ford panel vans till he switched over to a Chevrolet. die hard Anderson fan over here lol
So the deal with the chassis 20 differing from the helmet from what I’ve heard from some of the guys that worked with Dennis and Dennis him self is as follows. Originally 20 was supposed to be the truck he ran all year. They had a wreck in testing due to a bad re-bound bounce in the rear . Or as Dennis puts it “Damn thing wasn’t acting right and the shock crooked. Now Pablo huffacer actually explained what happened in a not so southern manner but for those of us from the south, we knew what Dennis meant. Now the wreck was so hard to broke off the shock mount and the chassis bar it was fixed on. So Dennis , his brother and Pablo when it in and at the wishes of Dennis the cut the back of the chassis off from just behind where the motor sat. Dennis ran 17 until they rebuild the rear of 20 . Also that same year he got injured and that was the year Adam Anderson ran gravedigger for a short period while Dennis recovered. 20 was rebuilt and ready by world finals and Dennis while not completely healed figured out some way for the officials to let him run in the world finals
Be cool to see a PENDA/throwback type pack. Bigfoot, Wildfoot, Firestone Wilderness (1998), Snake Bite, Monster Patrol, Bearfoot, Rampage, USA-1, Carolina Crusher, and so on (of course with some new events and features). They could make it happen regardless of licensing issues. Money talks.
Lol keep dreaming! I don't thin the hot wheels/monster jam fued is ever going away. For now, Monster truck destruction is the only way to play as all those trucks (well that and BeamNG.Drive I guess).
Admittedly, I do like all the liveries, but I prefer the chrome Grave Digger 25th Anniversary, green and purple versions of 30th Anniversary and the matte red Retro Grave Digger. Side note. The black 25th Anniversary in the game existed in real life, alongside the green ghost version and chrome version. And the black 30th Anniversary also existed
@ToucanPlays I kinda like them, but they definitely aren't as appealing to me as the real liveries. I do agree on the Green Ghost version though. And I would even go as far as to say it should've been picked instead of the black version with a purple ghost. Many versions of the current body style that are black with a purple ghost feels a little stale to me
The reason why the black and green version of the 25th anniversary grave digger has Krysten and Weston on the tombstone is because it’s a makeshift version compared to the original one from 2007 for world finals 21 they did a 40th anniversary grave digger encore where the 40th anniversary grave digger jumped over 5 other grave digger trucks which were the red primer grave digger, grave digger the legend, grandma grave digger, grave digger 25th anniversary, and grave digger 30th anniversary
Ahh yeah I had a feeling milestone was editing the truck a bit to avoid copyright issues with Hot Wheels. But they should have been a bit more careful on the tombstones. Unless they got the art from Spin Master, in which case, I blame them lol!
Concerning the Roman numerals, it signifies the truck number. For example: GD 20 (XX) was driven by Dennis Anderson ( also Adam Anderson in 2007 when Dennis was injured in Minneapolis 2006) from 2006 until 2013 and went through the 25th and 30th anniversaries and in my honest opinion was the most winning truck in the GD fleet. Randy Brown also drove GD 20 in 2014 when Dennis got GD 30 until its retirement in 2015 (if I believe that’s when it was retired)
@@ToucanPlays yes the roman numerals are based on the chassis driven on Like 25th Chrome and 30th Grims have XX as it ran on Grave Digger #20 which Dennis drove
Grave Digger Red Primer only appearance was World Finals 21 encore where Adam jumped it. This version never appeared any other time. Also Grave Digger didnt have multiple trucks compete in World Finals until wf 16. WF 25 regular is definitely inaccurate but every driver outside of WF ran that scheme except Chad Tingler who used the Green Ghost variant you had in the comparison.
I freely admit that I am not an expert, expecially in grave digger history lol. I do think I read though that the red primer body was used twice, and I do remember seeing photos, one with a green chassis, and one with a black chassis. I do wish we had gotten a green ghost version in the pack though!
@@ToucanPlays it’s still known as Red Primer as it was in the 2010 and 2022 Encores in monster truck form The devs probably put “encore” to avoid confusion as you have galaxy and the shiny variants The numerals on the hood is based on chassis Black 25th was 18 XVIII Chrome 25th and both Grim 30th was 20 XX which Dennis ran Black 30th was the best chassis to exist, 19 XIX which was ran by Randy Brown Black 25th had the modern tombstones as it was kinda based on the encore version in 2022 they mashed it up cause roof was a custom one since the “Grave Digger” logo wasn’t used on the roof only the sides *best logo hands down and needs to return The words on the tombstone on 25th Chrome was actually Dennis’ tombstone the devs just disrespectfully removed it like they did to Maximum Destruction’s roof
They really nailed the 25th anniversary the chrome is really good the supposedly the chrome captain curse is steel the 25th anniversary is chrome other than that I love the legacy pack
Yo where do you get your music bro? These are some nice tracks in the background. Especially the one that plays later on when you're talking about the Hawaii map
Upbeat.io a lifetime license was pretty reasonable and the music isn't half bad. I will say though I had to dig deep in the archives to find the style I was going for.
no no no no no. GD 30 purplle and green were alternated in the 2012 season for Dennis only. Then there was a 3d body for WF. Its not to have different colors for different drivers like the newer WFs. Also really had nothing to do for collectors
I just bought Soldiers and Pirates for the Xbox, but I'm still unable to use those trucks. It says to show bundle. When you go into it, it says to download and it's next to a shopping cart with a check mark. What do I do to race these trucks even though I already bought them?
Hmmm from what I've heard you have to download them after you buy them. I play on PC do I'm not entirely sure what that looks like, but that's what folks have told me.

Ok omg omg it’s u!!!!! It’s actualy u!

I've been using the purple 💜💚 30th anniversary and red primer alot
Nice! Very cool trucks!
ngl this might be my favorite pack so far
Absolutely, I'm hoping Hawaii will be just as fun, but so far, best truck pack hands down.
I believe they used the encore gravediggers from orlando 22 because that would explain the spinmaster and grim not 3D.
Yes I think you are exactly right!
Really nice game,a good upgrade from titans,much more polished and has a AAA arcade racer feel.
It is a good game!
@@ToucanPlays just wish the AI wasn't just set on a racing line and they are unaware of you,not sure why Devs sometimes choose to have dumb AI
That chrome 🤌
The Grave Digger 30th was XIX , Grave Digger XX was Dennis's Digger he ran at that time, I'm not sure who drove XVIII
18 was probably Charlie
No I actually did the research and 18 was driven by Randy Brown and actually won the points championship in 2003
