Powers & Abilities

Afterburner typically carries two laser-guided incendiary missiles, a rapid-fire plasma pulse cannon, and a semi-automatic sonic blaster pistol as his standard armament. In vehicle mode, Afterburner lives up to his name due to his solid rocket fuel packs that can boost his speed up to 450 mph. His tires also secrete an adhesive that allows him to drive up most walls.
