Given the crazy scenario where Sweet Tooth never existed, who do you think would/should be the posterboy (or girl) for the Series? Why?

I personally think Axel would be the face of the franchise, because he is in the most unique of the cars, which really stands out

However, I think Mr Grimm should be because he actually has the look, having a skull for a face.

I went with Grimm as well. Need someone that's been there since the inception of the series and everybody knows. That, and his special has always been one of the best.

i think warthog would be a good choice, only because he wanted to be superior to "that clown freak"

I have to choose Axel. Out of all of them, Axel has always had the deepest stories, and after Sweet Tooth was the most interesting character in all areas. However, if Calypso were to climb back into a vehicle, I think he would be the fan-boy, but Jaffe had better not do that.

Yeah it wouldnt make sense to have the creator of the contest to be a contestant. How would the winner actually get their prize...

yeah it dont seem right, maybe a relative of calypso could be the next big idol in TM, or do a TM:HO where Calypso's daughter was in it

Mr. Grimm would be a great choice for the new face of twisted metal.

I gotta say Mr. Grimm. He's one of my favorites and has been in every Twisted Metal.

That made me think of one of the strange lose ends in Twisted Metal. In Minion's Ending in TM2 before killing Calypso, Calypso said in his gibberish pleas "I want to raise my son". We all know Calypso had a daughter named Krista Sparks (Driver of Grasshopper) who was killed in a car crash, but could he have a son too? If Calypso were to be a contestant, I would hope that loose end would be resolved, rather than Sweet Tooth or another competitor taking over the contest like in TM4.

I gotta say I absolutely love your avatar. Daniel Fortesque is one of the greatest heroes ever!

 Err...back on topic, I don't think Grasshopper is a wise choice. She isn't exactly one of the most popular characters, and only those who've really played into the games know that she's Calypso's daughter.

It's a shame she wasn't though. Still, I couldn't see Krista Sparks being a part of the darker TM games, I don't think she would fit in. You would have had to have played TM2 or TMHO to really get it, and I think she is more suited as an additional backstory, as an added interest rather than the prime focus.

It would have been pretty cool if it was all tied in with yellow jackets story. Like if Krista was the zombie robot thing, and the boy controlling her was Calypso's son we were talking about from Minions video in TM2.

Thank you for the compliment.  Dan is awesome!

 

Anyway, Calypso's plea about his son was probably false.  People say many things to get out of being killed, and Minion had the man over a portal to hell!

If sweet tooth never existed, the face would be the man behind the competition himself: Calypso. I can just imagine a video game box with his evil grin on it.

Well is there any relationship connection between Calypso and Sweettooth?

They will always come up with new plot twists to throw our way.  The whole son thing is interesting, it would be a cool new character to intoduce.  I hope they put grass hopper in the next game as well, I always liked her.

Yeah thats a really good point. It was one of the more underrated ending because it was so left open, but it would be really cool if Calypso did start to hand over the reigns to the little guy

There's so much potential for an awesome story for all the characters in the TM universe, let's hope that potential is fully utilized.

When they come out with TM PS3, I hope they bring back the character, BLACK and that one new character to the canceled BLACK follow-up. I can't remember his name but his story was that he was a racer that got badly deformed in a crash.

Calypso has always been the main character,but since he is not a driver,if sweet tooth is not the main driver,then i think they should put Axel or Minion.
