    Note that "tora" seems to be short for "torakku."

    Looks like Optimus Prime at Mardi Gras.

    If that truck was a man, it would have to be John Travolta in the late 70s (ie. Hideous, but inexplicably cool at the same time...)

    Ewww it's a cab-over!

    It almost looks like an old garbage truck...

    this seems like either a) a carnival ride attached to a matching semi, b) a semi decorated for a christmas parade
