Love the shot of the old Kenworth..Always liked the old K100s (actually found one here in MI for sale dirt cheap but I wasn't quick enough on the auction lol)
Um... Its not a kenny, its a Marmon. That in itself makes it better than a kenny, because there soo rare to find these days. And the G1 prime was based of a freightliner cabover. Only bot or con i can think of offhand based off of a kenny was G1 Motormaster. He was a k100 areodyne.
About a 1975 Marmon if you want to pin it down even closer. And yes, after going through as many trucks as I could think of in the 30 years of Transformers, I'm inclined to agree that Motormaster is the only K-Whopper in the whole bunch. A few come close in design but are actually Internationals and the only Mack Trucks (to which I'm kind of partial but then if you look at my screen name you can deduce why after a moment or two of thought) would be RotF Mixmaster and DotM Megatron... to my knowledge anyways. There are a few smaller figures that never saw screen time of any type that I may have to check on as they just popped into my head.
Great to find another truck enthusiast on here. I grew up around them and try to get as many of the truck figures as I can if I feel that both modes are acceptable enough.
