Mega Machines: Biggest Hits Giant lifters. Colossal shovels. Enormous flying machines. The bigger the better, right? From beefy bulldozers to dino-sized dump trucks, check out this hour-long special packed with the most massive machines man has ever built. Tune in to see technological power and imagination that knows no bounds.

Building the Super Jumbo Who says size doesn’t matter? Imagine this: an airplane with a gym, shopping mall and casino. And that’s just the lower deck.

Scheduled to lift off in 2006 is the Airbus 380. Designed as the world’s largest airplane with the biggest fuselage, longest wings and tallest tail fin, it will be capable of carrying 555 passengers over 8,000 miles.

And you have a first class ticket aboard as we air three one-hour specials over the course of three years. You’ll start from the ground up, literally, as new buildings, roads and machines are built to meet the logistic, engineering and manufacturing challenges. It’s your exclusive boarding pass to history in the making.

Junkyard Wars lt’s NOT the same old junk anymore. This season is bigger and better. It’s all new re-engineered and here’s how it’s going to work: There’ll be two captains. They’ll pick their teams from a pool (think kickball) and off they go to a test location. NOT to build some simple machine, but a contraption that will solve the show’s bizarre challenge. Like, “See that lake? Build something that can cross it.”

Suddenly, it’s a group of unfamiliar individuals who better understand the concept of teamwork. This Emmy-nominated series offers the same clever craftiness with all new technological challenges. Ingenious!

Junkyard MegaWars at the Movies Hooray for Hollywood! They’re the clever geniuses that brought us those awesome intergalactic spaceships and invisible spy mobiles. Now, teams from three major effects studios compete to build the perfect robotic machine to do work way too dangerous for us mere mortals. No smoke and mirrors allowed.

Junkyard Wars: The Race We call it the “Cannonball Run” of junk! First, six teams build their super-duper, oversized contraptions out of junk. Second, they race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas facing off in five grueling challenges. Will their hunk of junk be up to climbing mountains, crossing water, surviving deserts and white water rafting, all before ending in a multi-wars race-off? Third, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.
