## Personalities

Max and Monty are usually devious and manipulative trucks who cause trouble for everyone they come into contact with. They are known to cause trouble, but are sternly scolded by Miss Jenny or any other form of authority when they are found out. Despite being unruly, obnoxious and obstreperous at times with dangerous stunts, they both have a good, caring side as Max was visibly shocked when Jack damaged his arms saving Thomas, and are hard working like everyone else.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Max and Monty are based on 1949 Scammell Mountaineer 4-wheel drive dump trucks.

* According to their inaccessible page on the Official Website and merchandise character cards, Max and Monty's full names are Maximilian and Montgomery.
* When Max and Monty returned in full CGI, they had some modifications. These include:
	+ An increase in overall size.
	+ Monty acquiring a slightly different bumper design and a silver radiator cap, rather than a black one.
	+ Their rear wheels protrude out more.
	+ Tail-lights.
	+ New horn sounds.
