Push the release mechanism and see the fast and fun transformation! The Ballistiks vehicle is projected out in ball form then morphs into car mode ready to roll. For the Catapult Assault set simply load a Ballistiks vehicle into the catapult to get started. Next, carefully aim the launcher at the catcher. Twist the orange knob clockwise to release and watch as the Ballistiks vehicle flies through the air toward the target! Set includes one Hot Wheels® Ballistiks vehicle.
