**The Overtaker** was a modified vehicle that appeared in Carnage, where it got to The Scrapyard.

## Design

The Overtaker was a heavily modified hearse which was decorated with a wooden coffin on top and white crosses painted across the vehicle. The Overtaker was armed with a row of circular saws across the sides, acting as drum spinners. The vehicle also had a large cannon on top that shot sausages, a net and other items.

## Vehicle History

### Series 1

In the first round, The Grid, The Overtaker faced Warhog and The Angry Bones.

At first all three cars avoided each other as they split off into different directions. The Angry Bones soon caught sight of The Overtaker and attempted to ram it, but ended up missing its target, while Warhog fire a t-shirt at both opponents, only for the wind to blow it back at Warhog. Eventually, The Pusher is unleashed which The Overtaker almost hits, however they then travel behind The Pusher to avoid conflict. Warhog attempted to ram into The Overtaker but was caught from behind by The Angry Bones who charged in, lifted it and slammed it against the centre. Warhog escapes but The Angry Bones pursues and catches it off guard, crashing into Warhog. As The Angry Bones struggled to move and push Warhog off the arena, behind The Angry Bones and Warhog The Overtaker charged in and smashed into backend of The Angry Bones. Warhog backed up and smashed repeatingly into The Angry Bones with The Overtaker doing the same from behind, sandwiching them between the two. A final ram causes Warhog to drive over The Angry Bones, immobilising it.

With The Angry Bones out, Finisher arrived and set fire to The Angry Bones.

In the Desert Race, The Overtaker faced Cat-astrophe, Kinetic-D and Warhog.

At first both Warhog and Cat-astrophe darted ahead neck and neck with each other but soon Cat-astrophe got the upper hand and shot straight out in front of the pack with the other three competitors being left far behind. Cat-astrophe eventually turned the corner and took the longer pathway to the finish as Kinetic-D managed to dart ahead of Warhog who had begun drifting behind, but things were far worse for The Overtaker which had drove off course before it got to the turning. As Cat-astrophe got closer to the finish, it began drifting off course and drove out of the designated lane, driving across the outside, it eventually drove back on track but only as it crossed the line. Kinetic-D and Warhog eventually finished while the much further back Overtaker was last.

In The Scrapyard, The Overtaker faced Cat-astrophe.

The battle did not last very long. The Overtaker attempted, at first, to charge in from behind Cat-astrophe and ram it, however, the superior speed of Cat-astrophe allowed it to get away and end up behind The Overtaker. After a small chase, Cat-astrophe eventually rammed from behind, turning The Overtaker in the process and smashed it against one of the arena drills, toppling The Overtaker in the process and the arena drill destroying the back end and side of the hearse.
