The Roadtrain is designed as a large rugged semi-truck, being the largest, heaviest and most powerful among the game's three semi trucks (the other two being the [[Tanker]] and [[Linerunner]]), and comes complete with a large frontal bullbar, a bug catcher over the radiator grille, and twin stoke pipe air intakes. | The Roadtrain is designed as a large rugged semi-truck, being the largest, heaviest and most powerful among the game's three semi trucks (the other two being the [[Tanker]] and [[Linerunner]]), and comes complete with a large frontal bullbar, a bug catcher over the radiator grille, and twin stoke pipe air intakes. The truck is further distinguished by its town-tone body color. | ||
The design of the truck itself is presumably based on heavy duty "prime movers" tractor units in Australia, which tend to be used to haul [[wp:Road train|road trains]] (consisting of two or more articulated trailers) to remote parts of the country. Australian prime mover models such as the [[wp:Mack Trucks|Mack]]s (Black Thunder, Titan), and [[wp:Western Star Trucks|Western Star]]s may be sources of inspiration for the Roadtrain. | The design of the truck itself is presumably based on heavy duty "prime movers" tractor units in Australia, which tend to be used to haul [[wp:Road train|road trains]] (consisting of two or more articulated trailers) to remote parts of the country.
