Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

We checked out the Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation during SDCC. You had to be 18+ to participate in the Bumper Battle and also had to sign a waiver. The standby line moved fairly quickly. Once you get inside there were photo ops featuring some of the cars and vehicles from the show as well as the Twisted Metal ice cream truck which meant free ice cream. They also handed out free masks and posters. Check out the pictures below:
