==In Other Media ==
Bad to the Blade appeared in Hot Wheels Unleashed as a rare playable vehicle, it is considered to be one of the best vehicles in the game. It has 6/6 Speed, Acceleration and Handling, but only 3/6 Breaking Power and only one boost capsule. It has also appeared in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged as a rocket class vehicle, but it may be the worst of its class due to his low stats. Bad to the Blade appears in Forza Horizon 5 as a part of the Forza Horizon: Hot Wheels DLC pack.
