Episode 15 :: Vehicular Paradigms

Since the onset of Lightning Dogs, we knew that cool as hell, action figure-ready vehicles were essential for this concept to come to life. Our influences draw heavily from Road Warrior rides and the gimmick-packed cartoon tie-ins of the 80s and 90s. Vehicles couldn’t be an afterthought for Lightning Dogs - they needed to be a core component of the series; as iconic as the characters themselves

Enter the resident Lightning Dogs gearhead: Max Acree - a car nerd of the highest order and designer of all our vehicles going forward. In this episode we look over the first round of concept sketches and establish the cartoons, toylines, and fascinating real world car cultures that are going to fuel our character's transportation.
