At the show, you'll be able to catch your favorite Hot Wheels Monster Trucks as they light up the Etihad Arena like never before. If you're already a fan, you'll remember Mega Wrex™, Tiger Shark™, HW 5-Alarm™, Bone Shaker™, Bigfoot®, and Gunkster™, and this time around, you'll also be able to see the blazing debut of Skelesaurus™, a not-so-gentle giant that can't wait to play steamroller.
While it feels like it wasn't so long ago when we were in movie theatres watching Autobots and Decepticons do their thing, this year, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for a special appearance by Articgon, a transforming, fire-breathing, car-eating robot that promises to leave you in awe.
For those that like to get a head start on proceedings, you won't want to miss the special Power Smashers Pre-Show Experience, beginning a full two-and-a-half hours before each show. As part of the experience, you'll be able to walk the arena floor, get close to those massive machines (chances are you might not be as tall as their tyres), grab some 'gram-smashing content, chat with the drivers and more. If you're feeling like an all-access experience, make sure to get your hands on the VIP Backstage Experience for exclusive behind-the-scenes tours and access to the pre-show party.
Get your tickets now, and we'll see you there.

Oh, and in case that's not enough, a car-eating, fire-breathing robot called Articgon will also be on hand to melt minds and metal. Before the main event, you can go all-in with the Power Smashers Pre-Show Experience – stroll the track, meet the drivers, and get up close with the trucks – or take the VIP Backstage Tour for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look.
