M.A.S.K Piranha

Here is Piranha from Series 1.

In it's normal mode, Piranha is a motorcycle with accompanying side car. There is chrome on the wheel spokes and detailling at the sides of the motorcycle. There is also a removable windshield for the motorcycle. In this mode, Piranha can seat 2 figures.

Piranha, like Gator, has 2 attack modes, 1 being the semi-attack mode and the other being the full attack mode. To enact the semi-attack mode, one has to push the shorter tab at the back of the side car. What this does is to make the 2 lasers and sidewings pop out from the front and side of the sidecar respectively. To create the full attack mode, one has to push the longer tab at the back of the side car. This pushes the sidecar out which creates a launching effect which is the main gimmick for Piranha. In this mode, Piranha, much like Gator, is an aquatic vehicle, namely a submarine. The figure can be placed in a lying position and the windshield can pull up to cover the figure. The submarine has a chromed rear section.

The pilot of Piranha is Sly Rax who is primarily blue with algae-ish green and silver details. Sly also sports a pair of shades much like Brad (Condor) and Lester(Iguana) and has a moustache and goatee. He is very close to his cartoon counterpart. His mask is Stiletto which has the power of firing darts. Stiletto is primarily a dark grey with silver details. There is not much difference in colour scheme between the long and short versions of the mask.
