Mr. Slam is a vehicle that has appeared in Twisted Metal 2, Twisted Metal 4, Twisted Metal: Small Brawl, and Twisted Metal: Head-On.

Mr. Slam has always been depicted as a yellow front loader/construction vehicle. It has good armor, a strong special, and poor speed. It is well-known for its special attack, which involves grabbing an opponent in its front lifter, and smashing or crushing their vehicle before tossing it away.

Twisted Metal 2[]


Mr. Slam makes its debut in Twisted Metal 2.

Special Weapon

  • Grab and Slam: Mr. Slam's Special Weapon is a bone-crunching Jaw Slam that picks up an opponent in its teeth and repeatedly smashes their vehicle into the ground. Capable of causing extreme damage, the Jaw Slam will only pick up a vehicle if they are positioned closely to the jaws. To execute, hold the firing button down to raise the jaws and then release the button when the enemy is in range.

Twisted Metal 4[]


Mr. Slam makes its return in Twisted Metal 4 as Super Slamm, where it serves as one of the two bosses of the Oil Rig alongside Super Auger. It can be unlocked by completing Tournament mode or inputting →, L1, Start, O, Start at the Password screen. The identity of its driver is unknown.

Special Weapon

  • Loader: Super Slamm will lift an opposing vehicle with the front scooper and repeatedly slam it onto the ground before tossing it away.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Mr. Slam has the most name changes out of all the other Twisted Metal vehicles to date; his name changed from Mr. Slam to Super Slamm in Twisted Metal 4, then to simply Slam in Small Brawl, and then back to Mr. Slam again in Head-On.
  • Mr. Slam was scheduled to be in Twisted Metal: Harbor City, with a design similar to the one from Twisted Metal: Head-On, possibly as a placeholder.
  • Since Mr. Slam can be seen in the concept art for the cancelled game Twisted Metal: Apocalypse, it can be assumed that it was supposed to be a playable vehicle in that game.
  • Mr. Slam, Grasshopper and Spectre are the only vehicles that have been piloted by ghosts.
  • Some vehicles throughout the series have had special weapons that function similarly to Mr. Slam's. They are: Auger, Trash Man, Crusher and Dark Tooth (Head-On).

Twisted Metal 2[]

  • In the Twisted Metal 2 beta, Mr. Slam was originally named Bam Bam. Also, his Special Weapon was a little different - instead of throwing the car forward, Bam Bam threw the car backwards. Added to that, the Special Weapon was much more powerful in the beta version, capable of almost instantly killing a medium-armored opponent.
  • Mr. Slam's license plate (CHWMUP) means "Chew 'em Up".

Twisted Metal 4[]

  • There could have been a possibility of the driver of Super Slamm having an info screen in TM4, as a copy of Mr. Grimm's Twisted Metal III info screen can be found in the game's files under the name "SLAM.TIM[0]."

Twisted Metal: Small Brawl[]

  • Slam is featured in the game's cover.
  • A TV commercial that was made for Small Brawl featured a R/C front loader, possibly inspired by Slam.[1]

Twisted Metal (2012)[]

  • A model for Mr. Slam was created for Twisted Metal (2012) but was cut from the final game for unknown reason(s). It was found because the model was posted on the designer's website (Mark Wahlquist).[2]
