## History

### *Cars*

After Lightning McQueen and Mater woke him by scaring the tractors, he chases them out of the field. He almost manages to get Lightning just before the two cars leave the pasture, where upon he stops. Lightning soon has a nightmare that he, The King and Chick Hicks are beaten by Frank who appeared out of nowhere in the tie-breaker race and kills Chick Hicks. At the end of Lightning's dream, Frank appears to be hanging out with the Dinoco racing team. Frank is then seen behind a fence with his tractors watching a drive-in movie in the end credits.

### *Mater and the Ghostlight*

Frank makes a cameo in *Mater and the Ghostlight* sleeping in the field with the tractors, until Mater wakes him up by speeding in front of him with a blue lantern on his hook which he thinks was the Ghostlight.

### *Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure*

Although not making a physical appearance in *Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure*, he does appear as a wooden 2D model in the first Cars level Fancy Drivin'. It appears in a field part of the course when the player, Mater and Sheriff go into the field. The edges of the shredders make ramps for jumping.

## General information

### Physical appearance

Frank is an XXL MetroActual Combine, which resembles a Case IH Axial-Flow 7010 Combine, Massey Ferguson 31XP, Fahr M1600 Hydromat and Bizon Z060 Gigant. He has a large blade attached to his front, used for cutting crops, and can supposedly cut cars to pieces, although the only evidence of this was seen in one of Lightning McQueen's dreams, and the blade will only slightly bump the player. Attached to his roof are two horns, and his nose features a ring, making him closely resemble a bull, much like his behavior.
Frank is painted maroon, featuring slight rust and dirt. All of his other features, including his ring, horns, and combine blade, are all painted in a dark shade of grey.

### Personality and traits

Frank's behavior closely resembles a bull - he does not speak but rather makes grunts and terrifying roars, while also being easily agitated. He spends his days patrolling the tractor pastures and keeping everything in order, including to keep Mater and his pals (normally McQueen) out of the fields.

### Powers and Abilities

Being a Combine, Frank's primary task is to cut grass/harvest crops using his blades, which are assisted by tractors, who he supervises and has custody over. He is also unusually sensitive and mobile for his size.

## Bio

* "*Frank is a hard worker, he spends his days in the fields harvesting, threshing and cleaning grain; then it's off to oversee the tractors' work for the rest of the afternoon. By the end of his long day Frank is ready to power down for the night and prepare for the early morning ahead. So if you're planning to wake Frank up out of his precious sleep you'd better have a good reason, or a really good escape route.*"

## Trivia

* A few of his sound bites are reused in *El Materdor* for the bulldozers.
* In the prototype cover of Tractor Tipping Board Game, Frank is yellow and green, like a John Deere combine harvester, rather than his normal maroon color.
* Lightning McQueen's nightmare about Frank is the first depiction of vehicle destruction in the *Cars* franchise.
