Fasttrack (BotO)

## Appearance

Fasttrack is a feline-like alien with a black suit-like color scheme, and his hands, legs, chest, and part of his head are colored blue. He has black mask-like fins around his green eyes, a triangle-shaped nose, a thunderbolt-like design down his chest, and a triangle one down his back. Similar to Water Hazard, he also has spike-like blades on his arms and legs.

Fasttrack wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

## Powers and Abilities

Much like XLR8, Fasttrack has enhanced speed and agility, and is shown to have enhanced reflexes as well.

Fasttrack is capable of giving himself a boost of speed while running; this is demonstrated when Dr. Animo's missile flew past him, and Fasttrack ran at a higher speed, allowing him to outrun it for a short time and forcing Animo to increase the missile's power. Furthermore, Fasttrack can also jump to great heights while running.

Fasttrack is durable enough to withstand being thrown against the Seal.

Fasttrack can recover quickly, as he was able to immediately get back on his feet and continue running when he saw that Sir George was about to attack him again. Similarly, Fasttrack was able to recover from falling to the ground after he jumped towards Animo's missile but failed to catch it.

Fasttrack possesses enhanced strength, as he was able to carry both Magister Hulka and Tack to safety,  as well as Gwen and Kevin while in Ledgerdomain. Technically speaking, Fasttrack is physically stronger than Kinecelerans.

Fasttrack has enhanced dexterity, as seen when he disarmed a group of Forever Knights by taking their weapons away and was able to carry them all in his hands before dropping them on the floor.

Fasttrack seems to have an exceptional level of balance, as he was easily able to run out of Kevin's car without falling down and stay on his feet even while it was speeding through the desert.

Like XLR8, Fasttrack has an enhanced sense of direction, as he could easily knock down several Esoterica in seconds while running in sharp zigzags and circles.

## Weaknesses

There is a limit to how fast Fasttrack can run, as he can have a hard time stopping if he runs too quickly.

It is implied that, despite his enhanced speed, Fasttrack is physically slower than Kinecelerans.

There is a limit to how much damage Fasttrack can recover from, as an explosion caused by the Door to Anywhere was able to knock him out.

Being a speed-based alien, Fasttrack shares similar weaknesses with XLR8. For example, he is being unable to run on certain surfaces like ice, which can make him slip very easily.

Similarly, opponents with good reflexes and reaction time can counter Fasttrack's speed and land a blow on him, as seen when Fasttrack ran straight into Sir George's outstretched arm, badly stunning him.

Being a feline-based alien, Fasttrack can be controlled by people who have the ability to control cats, like Nyancy Chan, depending on how prevalent his feline attributes are.

Unlike XLR8, Fasttrack is not completely frictionless.
