Formerly known as Fastlane, this is the one new mould in the Chaos on Velocitron set. One of the two Autobot clones, he's about the height of a Legends class, if a little stockier. He's got a red feet and grey legs and a nice bright red torso and arms. A deco on his chest identifies him as a car, as opposed to his brother's plane. Ball joints in the shoulders, elbows and hips give him a good range of motion. Head, knees and ankles also allow for motion, if not as much as a ball joint. His kibble is kept to a bare minimum, with tires only just peaking above his shoulders and the spoiler behind his head.



His transformation is a little...simple. Fold the arms up, the toes down, the head around, and finish up by tabbing the legs together. In fairness this pretty much matches his G1 transformation. The result is a "Cybertronian Dragster" or something. It looks long, it looks fast, and it looks like it couldn't corner worth a damn, so I guess it must be a dragster then. The spoiler has a nice silver paint job with a red Autobot symbol and some racing strips, but apart from that he doesn't have much paint on him.



Unfortunately he doesn't come with any accessories. He does however have a little flip up seat on his chest under his car symbol that can accommodate a Titan Master. The overall effect is that of a throne, a throne with fantastic acceleration.



Overall, he's a neat little figure but suffers a little from the simplistic transformation , no guns , and a "because we say so" alt mode. It's a shame he didn't come with his brother as I think this would have really boosted the value of the Chaos on Velocitron set. It's interesting to note that the Chaos on Velocitron box features four symbols - speed, firepower, strength and intelligence. We know that one more box will be coming as a BBTS exclusive with one Decepticon clone. My guess is that there will be another two boxes like this, with the one of the remaining clones in each.
