Powers & Abilities

Backstreet's vehicle mode is one of superior speed and maneuverability. He's able to make extremely sharp turns with ease and is able to reach speeds up to 280 mph. With his rear rocket thrusters he's even able to go up to 400 mph for about a minute. His standard armament consists of two laser-guided proton missile cannons, his headlights can fire high-powered heat rays to melt his enemies, and they're also equipped with infra-red, low-light, chemical sensors, and radiation sensors - all of which aid greatly in his role as a lookout.
