DescriptionEdit

This space cop car was introduced to the Flying Colors line as Science Friction in white with reddish plastic lasers, light bubble, and radar dish (bw). In 1982 it joined the Hot ones line in white and later the color was changed to magenta. In 1983 the color was changed to metal flake magenta. When this casting was used in the Ultra Hots line, the Science Friction name was no longer used. Flame Runner, Back Burner and Lightning Storm were other names used.
