History Main / ConstructionVehicleRampage

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', all vehicles are anthropomorphized, so we get a rather odd version of this trope. Lightning and Mater go [[CowTipping tractor-tipping]], and in doing so incur the wrath of "Frank", a combine harvester who acts like a vicious, angry bull. Lightning later has a nightmare about Frank running in the Dinoco 400, chewing up all his opponents, and winning the race.

* The FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/CTSpecialForces'': ''Bioterror'' assault the players while commandeering a weaponized excavator which can lob rocks all over the place while tackling the playerss.

* ''VideoGame/LetsGoIsland'': The first phase of the final boss fight had the protaganists fighting the mutant sea monster with the crane of the boat they're on, getting into a grappling match against each other.

* ''VideoGame/TheGladiator'', being a {{wuxia}} game set in the Song Dynasty, has the BambooTechnology version of this trope (yes, ''really!'') Every now and then, you might be attacked by a war chariot (piloted either by a boss or a mook) with a GiantMook pushing it from behind, a swinging wrecking ball on it's front, and the pilot can control the ball swinging it left and right to smash you up.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':

* ''VideoGame/{{Riot}}'' have a level where the player gets attacked by a wrecking ball crane, where they most shoot the vehicle while avoiding the dropping ball.

* ''Film/TheFightingSeabees'': When attacked by the Japanese, the soldiers of the Construction Battalion use their construction machinery as part of the defense. In the final scene, the hero attaches explosives to the blade of a bulldozer and uses it to ram a petroleum storage tank. The resulting explosion sends burning fuel into the path of the attacking Japanese, saving the American base.

* The first boss of ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'', fought in the rebel's underground base, is a weaponized excavator-backhoe combo military vehicle, who uses its front to ram players while catapulting boulders from its back.

* ''TabletopGame/Battletech''/''TabletopGame/Mechwarrior'' has mechs designed for farming, forestry, demolition, construction etc. With the shortage of battlemechs, many such mechs are armed and armoured into "Technicals" - styled improvised combat vehicles. Irregular conflicts between users of these vehicles may sometimes be decided by them, but they will rarely last long against battlemechs.

* In the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' series, you can use any construction vehicle that appears, such as a bulldozer, to play this trope in free-roam.
** In ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]'', you can use combine harvester to rampage on pedestrians and see their [[{{Gorn}} mutilated bodies]] coming out of the unloading auger.

* In ''Film/{{Commando}}'', John Matrix (Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger) [[https://youtu.be/BLjvPKQw_3c uses a tracked loader to break into an army surplus store for equipping himself with military weaponry.]]

** In the episode "Don't Rain on My Ed", [[DumbMuscle Ed]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Eddy]] run into a steamroller, and when the former yanks him out of it, Eddy accidentally turns the steamroller on and it ends up running over them causing them to be SquashedFlat, the page picture.

* ''BCV: Battle Construction Vehicles'' is a FightingGame in which the combatants go at each other in construction vehicles. There's a story mode in which protagonist Hayato Kongo succeeds his late father as head of the family construction company. To this end, he must battle other constructioneers to get them to join his crew and get through a rivalry with Shurabe Corp.

* The first boss of ''''VideoGame/MetalSlug'', fought in the rebel's underground base, is a weaponized excavator-backhoe combo military vehicle, who uses it's front to ram players while catapulting boulders from it's back.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', all vehicles are anthropomorphized, so we get a rather odd version of this trope. Lightning and Mater go [[CowTipping tractor-tipping]], and in doing so incur the wrath of "Frank", a combine harvester who acts like a vicious, angry bull.

Farm machinery can be included.

Other popular picks include the front-end loader (with its large all-terrain wheels and maneuverable scoop), the wrecking ball crane (the quintessential demolition vehicle), and the excavator (with its modifiable arm and the ability to turn a complete 180° or even 360°). A steamroller is a popular pick for [[SquashedFlat flattening characters against the ground.]] In [[ScienceFiction sci-fi]] settings, construction robots may count as well [[AIIsACrapshoot if their programming is overridden to cause nothing but destruction]]. It may also count [[PoweredArmor exo-suits]] or [[HumongousMecha mechas]] that were primarily created for the use of construction but are then commandeered to be used for combat instead.
