History
"BOOM di ya da, BOOM di ya da... BOOM DI YA DA!"

-Lyrics of a common song sung by Demo Truck Drivers

Originally, the L-1043, also known as the "Mule", was a logistical resupply vehicle for the Guardians of the Tacitus during throughout many years. The first L-1043 rolled off the production line in 1952 V.C., right in the middle of Great Voshkod-Aquilan War. Designed by small truck manufacturer Cross Industries, the L-1043 was made for speed and transport capacity and had notoriously poor armor. It was said that a single bullet through the gas tank would blow it up. The "Mule" was capable of transporting up to 500 kg of supplies, be it food, ammunition, or even a spare Stuart Tank to the battlefield. It is, till now, the most common logistical resupply vehicle among Allied ranks.

However, the CEO and founder of Cross Industries, Mr. J.J. Cross, was a patriotic Embry, and was extremely loyal to his country. When he heard that his beloved country was reduced to a wasteland with nuclear bombs, he covertly joined the Minutemen and began supplying them with equipment, including L-1043s. Initially, the Minutemen found little use for the L-1043s, other than using them as transports for "stolen goods" from the nearest Boneyard.

Eventually, one bright young spark in the form of a Minutemen mechanic figured out that if the "Mule" had a tad bit more armor, it could serve as a frontline troop transport. Thus, she reinforced the fuel tanks and gave it to her enthusiastic, if slightly unstable, friend. Five days later, the L-1043 made headline news by completely leveling a nearby Voshkod supply base and command outpost. This sparked a craze in Confederate "Mule" drivers to load their trucks with every kind of explosives they could find, rename themselves as Demo Trucks, and wreak as much explosive havoc as they could. And unlike some sucicidal idiots, they actually plant their bombs rather then drive headlong into the enemy.
