Missing Link

*Yet another time-warped dude that becomes a MotorStormer. In his case, he's a caveman. We call him Missing Link. Before you ask, yes he warped in via temporal anomaly. To help him adapt to our modern time period, our good friend Xaurkshaeyre gave him one of his special intelligence-boosting 'shrooms, increasing his brainpower by a significant margin. He soon found his niche in heavyweight vehicles, being one of our more combative drivers on the track, so stay out of his way if you can!*
*"Me Missing Link beat you to finish line!" - Missing Link*
**Missing Link** is a fanonical 'Stormer created by JustAlex93 based on an idea by The Cherrybomber.

## Details

Missing Link is a caveman who was out hunting one day with his club when, you guessed it, a freak spatiotemporal anomaly swept him up to the very far future, landing him outside of the MotorStorm Festival's boundaries. He was taken in by the M.R.A., and Xaurkshaeyre administered an intelligence-enhancing mushroom to the Neanderthal. It increased the caveman's intelligence levels to that of a modern human's, but of course, they had to teach him everything about the modern world. Being a bit on the combative side, Missing Link gladly joined the MotorStorm Festival as a 'Stormer.

Gianaro

**Gianaro** is a fanonical Italian Manufacturer appearing in *MotorStorm: Outback Outrage* and *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*.

Gianaro is a manufacturer specializing in cutting-edge race cars and supercars, being founded in 1958. At one point, Gianaro was a member of the Enthusia-Italia SpA alliance, as well as an engine designer for Scuderia Enthusia, from 1967 to 2005. Though it had pulled out of Enthusia-Italia SpA in 1975, the company is still owned by Italia as of 1984.

It has designed quite a few Italia sports cars, such as the ever sought-after Tauromachia, and the Cirrus.

Gianaro is also known to frequently collaborate with RCI SpA in designing their modernized Italian classics, mainly pitching in on input for the designs. The company also has ties with Advantage and RS GmbH, in the sense that Gianaro does most of the designs for aero kits for the cars made by the two tuning companies.

Albion Canberra 12

The **Albion Canberra 12** is a Track Toy created by JustAlex93.

## Details

With the Ultimate 12 scrapped due to changes in the regulations for GT1 racing, Albion went back to the drawing board and decided to reuse the engine but with a few other parts for a new GT2-class racer. The vehicle's body design is based on the Canberra sports car, but is lower, wider and even meaner-looking. This new car is designated the Canberra 12.

The aspect of a road-legal version of the racing vehicle carried over from the Ultimate 12, that indeed, the Canberra 12 road car would be in the works. If the road car were to have entered production, it would have sold for £245,000 GBP. However, at one point, the head of Albion at the time drove a completed prototype Canberra 12 road car home, and the bloke essentially decided, "Eh, ya know wot? I think this car's a spot too hot to handle for the road!"

In other words, too dangerous for use on public roads because of the immense horsepower of its engine.

As a result, the production of the Canberra 12 road car was cancelled, and those who made a deposit to purchase the car ended up getting their money back.

In regards to the racing model, it did see participation in the British GT Championship during the early 2000s under the GT2 regulations, where it managed to scrounge up a number of race wins.

*MORE TO BE ADDED*

## Trivia

* The Canberra 12 is inspired by the TVR Cerbera Speed 12.

Gyoza OHC

The **Gyoza OHC** is a fanonical Mud Plugger created by JustAlex93.

## Details

The **Off-Highway Concept** (OHC for short) is a concept SUV first showcased at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show. It was developed as part of an effort by Gyoza to explore possibilities for future generations of sports cars, taking inspiration from the World Rally Championship.

It is a 2+2 coupe bodied by Gyoza's U.S. design studio, featuring design cues from rally cars used in the WRC, with functional lines, no luxury features and being designed to, as was said by Gyoza's spokesmen, "convey the sparse, functional simplicity of a race car."

It was based on the second generation model of the RUVA (short for Recreational Utility Vehicle All-wheel drive) and even having the same wheelbase, the OHC features 4WD, an Inline-4 with variable valve timing making 267 bhp, a six-speed sequential gearbox, and wide blister wheel arches with 19" tires tucked in. The interior, keeping to the WRC-inspired motif, features bucket seats with four-point seatbelts with stowable and foldable rear seats, futuristic aluminum panels in the luggage space, and the ability to store tools under the quarter panels.

As the OHC was made as a concept car, it never entered production, and was made to connect with young buyers.

One year later, Gyoza built and showcased a rally raid version of the OHC, bearing a Gyoza-FlowOil livery inspired by the one used by the Caminoa WRC in 1998. The engine is changed to that of the Gyoza Arctica GA95 rally car, with the air restrictor removed and making 416 bhp. Along with that, a rear wing was added for downforce. The AWD drivetrain uses a conventional center diff, with other off-road elements including beefed-up suspension arms, a raised ride height, and springs and shocks all around. Due to being a show car like its non-racing counterpart, it never got to go racing anywhere.

Even though the OHC and its rally raid version was never put into production, a certain kit car manufacturer has the capacity and resources to create visual and functional replicas of the OHC using the 2001 model RUVA as a donor chassis.

## Trivia

* It is inspired by the Toyota RSC (Rugged Sports Coupe) concept car, which was also made as a toy car in the *Hot Wheels* line. The rally raid model is inspired by the fictional 2002 Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car featured in the *Gran Turismo* video game series. However, the OHC has, for its visual traits, the headlights of the Peugeot 206 WRC and the tail lights of a Toyota Mk4 Supra.
Nova Stermvogel S2000

The **Nova Stermvogel S2000** is a Super 2000 created by JustAlex93.

It first appears in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild* as part of the *Raging Mediterranean* Pack.

## Details

First introduced in 2009, the Stermvogel S2000, based on the Stermvogel road car, had seen success in various rallying competitions around the world. Being built under the Super 2000 powertrain specfication set by the FIA, it was less expensive than the WRC class rally cars, allowing not only the manufacturer but also various privateers to compete.

With its 16-valve 2.0L Inline-4 engine mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox with Ztrak front and rear diffs (with Radek center diff) and a BQ Racing clutch, it had won many a race in the hands of several capable drivers, from its three wins in the PWRC to its twenty-seven victories in the IRC. Essentially, in terms of achieving success, it succeeded where its predecessor, the Fernweh WRC, had failed.

Because Super 2000s were generally less expensive, several of these cars were procured for use in the MotorStorm Festival.

Nörd Jotnar

The **Nörd Jotnar** is a Lunicorn appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*.

## Details

Nörd had a plan, a plan to design a truck that would revolutionize desert racing. It took about ten years to design the Jotnar, which had many functions most other Dakar trucks didn't. It had rack-and-pinion four wheel steering, adjustable torque gears, and even a mechanism that allowed tire pressure to be adjusted to the driver's liking. It was also surprisingly highly agile, having nearly the turning radius and acceleration of a Rally Car.

About thirty Jotnars were made, ten of them were given to the Polish military and the Israeli Defense Force, while ten more raced in the Paris-Dakar rally, with a high rate of success, while the last of the ten were simply prototypes. In the end, the Jotnar was too advanced and too powerful to participate in the Dakar-Paris rally, leaving ten Jotnars to be mothballed, much to the disappointment of the engineering team at Nörd. The people at Nörd had contemplated selling their Jotnars to the MotorStormers, but of course they took more appeal to the Viking, seeing it was a more reliable option, due to the Viking being a newer platform with more gadgets, such as having four extra adjustable torque gears and much better suspension.

Upon hearing of MotorStorm's return, Nörd had updated the Jotnar with a 13.0L quad-turbo diesel V8, and generally more sophisticated technology that made it essentially the most advanced Dakar truck. As a consequence, with the input of many 'Stormers, Mash had purchased the last ten Jotnars in existence.

## Trivia

* The Jotnar is based on the concept art design for the Nörd Viking.
Kramarlov Baba Yaga

The **Kramarlov Baba Yaga** is a Heavy Hitcher appearing in MotorStorm: Off The Grid.

## Details

Being developed in the late 2000's as a sort of civilian *prime mover* vehicle, which was built for transporting various heavy loads, such as construction rigs and disassembled oil rigs.

Unlike most Eastern European and various European-built semi trucks, Kramarlov openly reached out to Mullikin and Madison Transmission for helping develop the truck, such as giving the truck a 14.9L Inline Six, that produced 560 horsepower, and gave it a torque value of 2,495 lb-ft. The transmission was a six speed automatic, with three low gears, a high gear, a neutral gear and a reverse gear,

In terms of a chassis, it had a ladder chassis with leaf type spring suspension, with twelve leaves in front and thirteen leaves on the rear axles.

It has a capacity of three people, holding the driver and two passengers, with a couch in the back for the third passenger to either sit or lay on.

There was also a 6x4/6x6 version available as well, known as the Baba Yaga Shest

## Trivia

* It is loosely based off of the 2007 KamAZ-65228, except it has the same front fascia as the Nord Viking, while having the same taillights as the Molotov Shelka.
* Despite the truck it is based off of in real life is an 8x8, the Baba Yaga is an 8x6, with the axle behind the front axle being a pusher axle.
Chrono DKR750

The **Chrono DKR750** is a fanonical Bike created by JustAlex93.

## Details

Developed by Chrono's motorsports division, the prototype DKR750 was built from 1986 to 1989, and was renowned for its handling and high speed stability. It was designed specifically for off-road competition.

These qualities were what allowed it to dominate the bike division in the Paris-Dakar rally for four years, from 1986 to 1989, leading it to be nicknamed the "Desert Queen". It was in '86 that the DKR750 gained the distinction as being the first motorcycle with a liquid-cooled engine to win the rally. This victory had also broken Nova's dominance and helped boost motorcycle sales for Chrono.

The liquid-cooled engine is a 45° 779.1cc SOHC V-twin with four valves per cylinder making 75 bhp boasting a kick-starter and a 59-gallon fuel tank. With it, the bike could reach speeds of 177 km/h. A tall bike with the seat set at 990mm, it featured a telescoping fork with 300mm of travel, a pro-link shock with 270mm of travel, and a 21-inch front wheel. All of these features made the DKR750 a technically advanced bike for its time. Heavy for an off-road racing bike, it had a dry weight of 189 kg.

In 1989, Chrono unveiled the **RVX 750**, designed as what is essentially a consumer-grade version of the DKR750, featuring a number of its design elements.

## Trivia

* It is inspired by the Honda NXR 750, and even borrows the Desert Queen nickname.
* The DKR initials in the bike's model number comes from **D**a**k**a**r**, referring to its purpose as a racing vehicle for the Paris-Dakar rally.
Bluebird Tantive GT

The **Bluebird Tantive GT**is a GTO appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*. Upon unlocking the Bluebird Tantive Mk. II at Rank 5, the player is free to convert their Tantive into a Bluebird Tantive GT at the price of $70,000.

## Details

    Seeing the 1965 Trans-Am championship was coming up fast, and Bluebird had just launched the Tantive Mk. II, which was already a successful sports car in its own right.

This car suprisingly had quite a bit of relationship with the road going Tantive Mk. IIs, in the sense that the car had the same 6.4L V8, except the engine seen on the Tantive GT was roots blown, and produced 470 horsepower.

The car would end up racing against Magnum's Warrant, Patriot's V8 and the Voodoo Hoobastank, as well as the smaller engined Door Slammer class. Throughout the races, the Tantive GT showed its true colors in the turns, unlike the other muscle cars, which shined on the straights, seeing Bluebird had a special stiff independent suspension setup, alongside track tires made by none other than Advantage.

Eventually, the car went on to race in the IMSA GTO Championship from 1979 to 1991, where it consistently performed relatively well against Wulff's Bolter Nova, Enthusia's Libertario and various other European and Japanese rivals, whether it was the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, The 12 Hours of Sebring or the Mid Ohio 400. However, before 1984, the car was given a displacement increase to 6.9 liters, and given a turbocharger, alongside many other parts to increase the horsepower to a breathtaking 689 horsepower.

However, because of the massive amount of horsepower, the car was proven to be much less reliable, due to fuel consumption, as well as being harder to control. In the end, by the end of its lifespan, it was replaced by the Tantive Mk. IV, which was a more modern approach to the Tantive, and proved to be a much more reliable car.

Upon being cleared by the M.R.A. in the Pandrosia MotorStorm Festival, with IMSA GTO race cars being allowed to participate, Bluebird built and sold ten Tantive Mk. II GTs to the 'Stormers for their use.

Chrono Tourist

The **Chrono Tourist** is a fanonical Superbike created by JustAlex93.

## Details

Developed by Chrono's motorsports division for homologation in the Superbike World Championship, this fully faired racing motorcycle was used to win the inaugural championship's riders and manufacturers title in 1988. The Tourist did that a second time in 1989. It was also used to win the Macau Grand Prix in 1989 and in 1990. One bike, equipped with Greteler NF1 tyres, was also used to set the fastest Nordschleife lap time on a motorcycle in 1993, at 7:49:710.

Only 3,000 of these bikes were made, and sold for what was considered an awful lot of money for a production bike of the time, equivalent to $15,000 USD.

*MORE TO BE ADDED*
Patriot Diva

The **Patriot Diva** is a SuperMini appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild* created by The Cherrybomber.

## Details

With how Tenrai, Ozutsu, Wulff, Mirage, Monarch and even Magnum were producing high performance hatchbacks in the late 90's to the late 2000's, Patriot decided they wanted to get in on the action.

Originally, Patriot was known to have their own economical car, known as the Patriot Pivot, which was popular amongst older people for its high reliability and almost *zero* needs for maintenance. Eventually, Patriot collaborated with Monarch to create the ultimate hatchback: The Patriot Diva.

The powertrain was a turbocharged 2.5L Inline four, that produced 250 brake horsepower to the wheels, with a limited slip differential. There were also two types of transmissions available, which were a four speed automatic with overdrive, or a five speed manual. About 20,000 models with automatic transmissions were made, while 14,000 models with manual transmissions were built.

When it all came to actually driving the car, it had two modes which were city and sport mode. When in city mode, the car only produced 160 brake horsepower to keep fuel mileage reasonable, while sport mode allowed the car to be a backfiring four cylinder monster that was capable of putting a muscle car to shame, seeing the car in sport mode made nearly the power and torque of a rear wheel drive muscle car.

The car was an immediate success, and even went on to race in the World Rally Championship from 1999 to 2003, where its fanbase grew even larger, allowing Patriot to make and sell more Diva hatchbacks.

DemonTech

*"Mug LeMaro once said in 2002, that DemonTech never tested their rides. They wouldn't do it, oh no. It was their customer's job if they were battle ready to drive a DemonTech. DemonTech was founded by two college kids that dropped outta college in '97, 2 years after MotorStorm started, and 9 years before it started blowin' up. Their first car? The '97 DemonTech Venezia and the Toscana R. It never was spotted at the main roads, and the FIA said it was too poweful for it to be on a race track, so it was more of a fun project. However, they stopped messin' with stuff from their '84 Patriot Braveheart and started workin' on a real beast, the DemonTech Satan V12. Since the Satan V12, they have made cars that are coffins on wheels 'cause of how unsafe they are. Just make sure ya don't drive too fast, or kiss goodbye your life, pardner!"*
*-Marque description*
DemonTech is an fanonical manufacturer created by VinnieTheBountyHunter.

## History

DemonTech was founded in 1997 in Western England, just two years after MotorStorm began, and approx. 9 years before it really started taking off. It was founded by two cats that dropped out of college. The first ride they ever did was these two: the Toscana R and the Venezia. The two cars were never, ever spotted driving on a main road.

Why? Because, just like the Toscana R, it was really lightweight, and had no ABS, no traction control, everything that would make it tamed. In 2001, one man had the guts to crash test a Toscana R, which by that point, had claimed the life of an esteemed rapper, Ballzy (But 20 years later in 2020, during the South Central China festival, it would be revealed he was still alive), and the car blew up.

GRTA Zuko 500 Special

*"This isn't an ordinary Gyoza Zuko, that's for sure, as it's a factory modified Zuko, specially tuned by the GRTA themselves. By default, they're only running about 550 to the crank, which is definitgely more horsepower than a road going Zuko, but we've specially modified them with various aftermarket parts to produce 800 horsepower, despite our Zuko 500s are technically just base model Zukos with the 500 Special bodykit. Anyways, like all the other Street Tuners, we've gifted you the ability to use this and the other street tuners for beating all of the Gymkhana, Drift and Drag events with all the classes available, enjoy!"*

- Garage Description.

## Specifications

By default, the car could either be ordered as a factory modified Zuko, or be shipped as a bodykit for conversion, despite authentic Zuko 500s having red bolts on the wheels, as well as different taillights. However, the bodykit version didn't come with five spoke wheels by default.

In terms of technical specifications, there was either the supercharged variant, which produced approximately 505 horsepower and was powered by a 32 valve 4.0L V8, while the 24 valve inline six version was twin turbo and made 550 horsepower, despite twin-charging conversion kits existing, which would boost the horsepower level to 605. Both versions also produced 455 lb-ft of torque. In terms of exhaust pipes, the V8 version utilized dual side pipes that were three inches in diameter, while the inline six version used quad rear pipes that were also three inches in diameter.

Unlike the base model Zukos, the 500 special used a special limited-slip differential on the rear axle, which was made by non other than TARD. There was also a chrome intercooler mounted behind the front bumper to give either the 500cc supercharger or the 30mm turbos enough air to flow through the powertrain.

Authentic Zuko 500 Specials came with dimwit medium-hardness sport tires, with a unique tread pattern, with twenty inch five spoke wheels with a reverse bolt pattern on the edge of wheel's dishes, despite the rear wheels dishes being deepened by two and a half inches.

## Trivia

* The Zuko 500 Special is inspired by the Toyota TRD 3000GT, except has the same stock taillights as the Ozutsu Blacksun J-GT, and has the same headlights as the Wings West Honda Civic.
Castro Portador

The **Castro Portador**is a Bobtailer appearing in MotorStorm: Off The Grid created by The Cherrybomber

## Details

Seeing Castro's highly successful Varadero series of day cab tractor trailer units wasn't enough to haul heavy loads long distances, Castro wanted to create a tandem axle semi 4x6 semi that was actually quite capable of crossing certain terrains with heavy loads, such as logs, steel pipes, and various other hefty types of cargoes, the Portador was the answer.

It was powered by a 10.3L Naturally aspirated diesel V8 that produced 360 horsepower and produced 900 ft-lb of torque, with a top speed of 86 miles per hour. The truck was also sold in many eastern bloc countries, under the licensing of Molotov, and having slight aesthetic modifications. It was known to have a five speed manual transmission, with three low torque gears, three reverse gears, and one high torque gear, with a changeable diff lock that would lock the rear wheels.

It was estimated that about 17,000 of these trucks were made by both Molotov and Castro combined. Compared to the Varadero, the truck was known to have better fuel efficiency, despite it felt quite cumbersome on highways.

## Trivia

* It is based off of the 1952 GMC DW950, but has the headlights of the International Paystar and the wheel arches of a Peterbilt 260.
Pacifist

*"The M.R.A. was out scouting Lake Kovd for new tracks to be built, and they discovered an abandoned tank in a bog, far northwest of the lake. They have requested for someone to head out there with a Voodoo Mastadon to pull it out of the bog and tow it to the garage at the Festival Site for inspection. I know what they want it for, but it's a secret and I can't tell you."*
- Ms. Austin
**Pacifist** is a side task, where the player tows a derelict APC out of a bog northwest of Lake Kovd, near the road that leads to Lake Imandra.

The bog is directly east of the road to Imandra, but is full of heavy mud, and weak ice that the Mastadon can easily break, even though it has sufficient torque to dig itself out of sticky situations.

Conditions of failure are if either the Tatrin or the Mastadon rolls over, or if the Mastadon's winch snaps.
Ozutsu CUCV RS

*Not to be confused with the Ozutsu CUCV, an older model of the CUCV.*
The **Ozutsu CUCV RS** is a SuperMini appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild* created by The Cherrybomber.

## Details

With the lack of appeal the base model CUCV series of hatchback cars were producing towards younger people, despite still being popular for its practicality; Ozutsu wanted to create a sportier model of the CUCV.

The CUCV RS was given a bigger engine, which was a turbocharged 1.6L Inline-4, that produced 190 brake horsepower, and 115 lb-ft of torque, with a new technology that allowed control of the car's valve timing, known as VGAB, or **V**alve **G**radience **AB**ilitation, which allowed the engine to work better under various methods of driving, as well as making the car ten times sportier than any other hatchback on the market.

When it came to the drivetrain, it was simply front wheel drive, but did not have anti-lock brakes, stability management, and traction control. Despite the lack of assists, the car still felt as if it were driven by four wheel drive, seeing the differential would evenly distribute torque to either wheel when turning.

## Trivia

* The CUCV RS is evidently based upon the 1997 Honda Civic Type R, except with quite a few differences, in the sense that the headlights are shared with the Subaru Impreza 22B STi, and the tail lights are from a Toyota Soarer.
* VGAB is a play on Honda's *VTEC* engine modification, which allows the driver to tinker around with the car's engine to make it work more efficiently. This is seen on Honda's Civic Type R, NSX and S2000 sports cars.
GT2s

*"They're the most common, also the easiest to drive on the GT circuit, we were lucky enough to have some generous private collectors donate a few of these spectacular machines to us, though we did make a few factory orders straight from the domineering manufacturers. They definitely wouldn't stand a chance against their GT1 counterparts, and the Prototypes, but they surely can put the older race cars in their place, with the right drivers behind the wheel.*

**GT2s** are a vehicle class appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*, created by The Cherrybomber. It is evident that most of these cars are based upon sub-modern day and modern day GT3 and GT2 race cars.

LandRush

**LandRush** is a side challenge appearing in various fanonical MotorStorm titles.

## Return to the Wild

It debuts in this game, where the player has a choice from Super Buggies, Land Skimmers, Racing Trucks, Buggies and Mud Pluggers despite if the Raging Mediterranean Pack and the North American Dream Pack are downloaded, the player may also drive Muscle Runners

In the event, there are multiple heats in the event with 14 drivers in each race. The player is required to finish in the top seven to qualify for the next heat, and there are four heats in total, one taking place in the early morning, the second one taking place during the afternoon, one taking place at night and the last heat taking place at midnight. Each class has their own stats unique to the event, while the terrain on each track differs, since there are multiple LandRush challenges throughout Pandrosia and Fendrana.

Most of the tracks in general feature fast flowing dirt tracks with a multitude of big jumps, tight roller turns and deep water splashes. Environment temperature and vehicle damage are also present, in the sense that if their vehicle's suspension bottoms out, they can damage their suspension. Every vehicle's engine can also overheat, since the challenge takes place in 100 degree weather.

### North American Dream Tour

There are at least three LandRush challenges per location, excluding The City

## King of The Hammers

In *King of the Hammers,* there are multiple different classes of vehicles that race in separate races and on separate tracks, mainly restricted to Super Buggies, LandRushers, Racing Trucks, Land Skimmers and Buggies.
Maxi

**Maxi** is a fanonical French brand first appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild* created by The Cherrybomber

Most MotorStormers of European heritage tend to take a liking towards Maxi, due to their vehicles being well performing for a bargain price. Maxi is a direct rival of Mirage, and has some investment into Tenrai, seeing as Maxi is the bigger company. However, there is no possibility of Tenrai and Maxi merging.

Lastly, Maxi did develop tanks for World War I.

## Trivia

* Just like Mirage, Maxi takes inspiration from Renault, Peugeot, and Citroen, though also taking influence from 80's and 90's French cars, along with cars from other brands, such as SEAT and Venturi.
GT1s

*Please welcome some of the finest race cars of the 90's, and quite possibly in the entire history of racing. They may have been grand tourers, but they were actually faster than the prototypes themselves, and bring back the most ethereal nostalgia those who grew up in the 90's will ever have. There's a very healthy mix of these retro racers to choose from, in the sense that there's cars from all of the major car manufacturing countries. If you've ever wanted to feel real speed, now's your time to try out the GT1s.*

**GT1s** are a vehicle class appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*, as a vanilla class, as well as in *MotorStorm: Transylvania Unleashed*.

Castro Modoc

The **Castro Modoc**is a Mud Plugger appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*.

## Details

In the late 1950's, Castro wanted to create the ideal truck that could cross any terrain of its time, which resulted in the Castro Modoc. In terms of powertrain, the truck was powered by a 4.7L naturally aspirated V8. However, most people whom had reviewed the truck as a whole regarded it as quite sluggish on rougher terrains, compared to vehicles made by Mojave and Patriot. With the criticism Castro had gotten from the western media, the designers went back to the drawing board and increased the the displacement from 4.7 liters to 5.0 liters, and remapped the engine from from a mere 170 horsepower to 220 horsepower while adding a roots supercharger to increase engine performance. In 1959, when Castro had brought back the Modoc, the critics spoke quite highly about the truck, making it a coveted truck in off road racing, seeing it was quite simple to modify and was extremely durable, being able to easily survive a rollover and keep moving.

Unfortunately, it was unable to appear in the MotorStorm festival in 2007, due to the 'Stormers preferring the Robusto more, despite the Modoc was able to handle the rough and tumble terrains *much* better than the Robusto could. However, most older truck enthusiasts, *specifically* Castro truck enthusiasts would commonly convert their Robusto trucks to Modoc spec, indirectly making their Robusto essentially a Modoc. The conversion in itself could be performed in a gearhead's driveway, granted that new shocks were fitted and the drivetrain was converted to AWD rather than RWD.

In terms of military service, the Castro Modoc served in the Russian and Cuban militaries as a light troop transport, sort of like Mojave's Berdino platform of off-road trucks. The truck even found itself being easily converted into a technical by Middle Eastern rebel forces, as a gun mount could almost effortlessly be fitted into the truck's bed. However, it was soon replaced by the Gyoza Reflux as the go-to truck to making into a technical truck.

## Trivia

* The truck is mainly inspired by GMC's Napco 4x4s, despite having the headlights of a Vokswagen Bus, and having the tail lights of a Datsun 620.
Creature Crunch

**Creature Crunch** is a fanonical product created by JustAlex93.

It is a British brand of corn snacks with kid-friendly cartoon monsters as the mascots. The snack pieces are shaped like three-toed monster feet. It comes in different flavours, with the main three being Roast Beef, Pickled Onion, and Flamin' Hot.

First launched in 1977, it had become popular among all the British snack food afficionados for years, as well as a lunchbox favourite of British schoolchildren.
Ozutsu Super Ronin

The **Ozutsu Super Ronin**is a Twist Raider appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*, created by The Cherrybomber.

## Details

The Ronin was already a highly successful platform of four wheel drive sports cars, complete with a pure rally pedigree, from the help of RS GmbH and RalliSport, which were two performance parts manufacturers.

When it came down to its powertrain, the default turbocharged 2.8L V6 was given a higher displacement, to 4.3 liters, having the engine block come from a Patriot Bushwhacker XR, while the rest of the engine parts were modified by RalliSport. A second turbo came, converting the powertrain from a turbocharged V6 to a bi-turbo V6. The predicted power output of the Super Ronin went from 400 to 1,100 brake horsepower, while the drivetrain was converted from all wheel drive to permanent four wheel drive, to keep the car under control at all times, while adding two specially welded limited slip differentials, that would allow the front and rear wheels to spin at different speeds when turning.

The body, however was not a stock Ronin body, but a carbon fiber replica made by RS GmbH, with an extremely specialized aero kit, complete with rear wheel slots for maximum aerodynamic performance.

Ten Super Ronins were produced, four were prototypes without the wheel slots, two were bought by private collectors, one was put on display in the Petersen Automotive Museum from 1997 to 2005, while the last three went on to compete in various hillclimb events across the world, and even a few time attack championships from 1997 to 2009, until one of the cars had wrecked at the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, with the driver unable to walk away.

It was until Ozutsu had ordered the designers to destroy the four prototypes, while the two variants that had raced were bought by private collectors, with one of them being donated to the Mahojin supercar collection in Tochigi, Japan. The Ronin that had wrecked at Pikes Peak was placed in a junkyard somewhere in the Midwestern United States, and was soon crushed at said junkyard.

In 2011, RalliSport and RS GmbH had acquired permission from Ozutsu to produce six Super Ronins each. When RalliSport modified theirs, they were meant to stay on tarmac, while RS GmbH's Super Ronins were extensively modified to be able to drive on certain uneven terrains, such as gravel and dirt.

The MotorStormers were interested in purchasing some Super Ronins, as Mash had ordered three of them from RS GmbH and two from RalliSport to participate in the Pandrosia MotorStorm Festival. They were then extensively modified once again to be able to handle the harsh conditions of a MotorStorm rally, as the body shells were reinforced with Kevlar, while still having carbon fibre to keep the car light weight but still durable enough to survive impacts from anything up to a Rally Car.

## Trivia

* The Super Ronin is essentially based off of an extensively modified 1995 Ford Escort Cosworth that was powered by an MG Metro 6R4 engine, that produced 800 brake horsepower, which raced in a racing championship known as *Thundersaloons* in 1995.
Logan

**Logan** is a fanonical Swedish manufacturer appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*. Their vehicles are known to be highly reliable and easy to modify at a bargain price. Their 400 series are known for their high success in touring car racing.

## Trivia

* Most of their vehicles are mainly based off of Saab, Volvo, Renault and Volkswagen designs, with a few Koenigsegg and Opel vehicles here and there.
Dump Trucks

*"These brutes may not seem like they're really built for racing, and they are definitely the pinnacle of being vehicular cows, but anything goes in MotorStorm. Various construction machinery manufacturers around the world have reluctantly modified their heaviest articulating dump trucks, being over 45 tons in gross weight means that these machines can bowl almost anything out of the way with their sheer weight, and can easily destroy anything below the heavy weight division in one ram. Even though we did say they are basically vehicular cows, it doesn't mean that they can't go fast, since we've outfitted them with quad turbo and after cooled inline six cylinder engines that make almost as much horsepower as a diesel locomotive, and definitely some of the most raw amounts of torque seen by anyone. However, we had to heavily reinforce what very little suspension system they have, which gives them the turning radius of a fully loaded cargo ship, and an extremely bumpy ride." - Off The Grid Garage Description.*

**Dump Trucks** are a vehicle class exclusive to *MotorStorm: Off The Grid*. All of the vehicles in this class are all based off of Articulated haulers.

## Stats
