A clown-style ice cream truck perched on enormous monster truck tires. I-Screamer opens the wrestling tournament of “Monster Truck Mater”, the sixth episode of the Cars Toon released in 2010. His name crosses “ice cream” and “screamer”, and his body takes up a Chevrolet Step Van base. Mater traps him by ordering a “double-dip dipstick sundae”, flips him over with a hook, then tops him off with a fire extinguisher. This profile details his design, his defeat and his cameo on the poster of the Thunder Hollow bar in Cars 3.

Mater's first opponent

I-Screamer is the very first monster that Mater faces in the ring. To trap him, Mater pretends to be a child ordering a "double-dip dipstick sundae"; taking advantage of I-Screamer's back being turned, he flips him over with a hook, sprays him with a fire extinguisher as ice cream, then tops it all off with the empty extinguisher as a cherry on the sundae.

End of the fight: Mater flipped I-Screamer over with a swing of his hook, sprayed him with a fire extinguisher instead of ice cream and topped him with the empty canister like a cherry.

A cameo in Cars 3

The character is solidly anchored in the canon: years later, he is featured on the Monster Truck Wrestling poster hanging in the Thunder Hollow bar in Cars 3, alongside Mater and Rastacarian. A nice bridge between the short films and the feature film.
