Power Rocket

## Stats

The **Power Rocket** is one of the 65 playable vehicles in the base game of Hot Wheels Unleashed. It is a licensed Hot Wheels model of a rocket car and the casting is based on the *2018 Super Chromes*. As with the casting it's from, it has a chrome body with an orange turbine at the front and two big exhausts at the back. The tampo has black and orange stripes on both sides with a number '06' at the back. The wheels are orange with a silver painted lining and tire walling, and the wheels are 5-Spokes.

It is one of the 13 Legendary vehicles players can acquire in the game, and starts out at said rarity level which can't be upgraded any higher.

## Performance

No question, the Power Rocket is a car that is extremely effective with its performance. It has a maximum Level 6 Charged Boost stat which makes it an insanely quick vehicle. Not only that, its stat pool is also remarkable along with how high of a level its boost is, making it one of those vehicles that breaks the rule of "good stats, bad boost". The car's handling is great for technical tracks, and can handle any corner but requires a bit of getting used to when skidding since its handling isn't perfect like the Jesko, or its fellow rocketeer, RocketFire. In terms of raw speed, the Power Rocket is a little tad bit slower in comparison and the player driving this will need to resort to slipstreaming and wiggling to get its boost back up. For general racing, the Power Rocket does the job extremely well otherwise.

It is also a decent, faster alternative for Bump Around as far as shortcut vehicles go. It may be heavier, which requires a bit more effort and execution to use, but does excel at being both a great car for general racing and taking aerial shortcuts. If the player can utilize them well enough while keeping great control of the car itself, it can be quite a threat to deal with while racing with other people online.

The Power Rocket is a vehicle that is a very well worthy addition to the collection. It shouldn't be passed up due to its overpowered stats and max level of boost.
