I could totally watch a special episode of Wacky Races with artist Ido Yehimovitz’s re-imagined video game cars leading the way. Trevor with his ute could easily replace Dick Dastardly, but not even he could stop Axel’s taxi from Crazy Taxi. I guess the titular tank from the Metal Slug series is already cartoony in the games, but nevertheless these illustrated versions all look fantastic.

So taller and longer vehicles with extremely small tires makes them cartoony. Actually makes sense, as most animated movies/shows are the same…
Metal Slug tank looks pretty much normal *shrug*
If anything, less cartoony…
Warthog? Hmm, I think it looks more like a puma.
