Appearance
Ben as Fasttrack
Fasttrack is a feline-like alien with a black suit-like colour scheme. His hands, legs, chest and part of his head are coloured blue. He has spikes on his hands and legs, and also black Wolverine mask-like fins around his green eyes. He has a triangle-shaped nose, and a thunderbolt-like design down his chest.
Fasttrack wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
Albedo as Negative Fasttrack
Negative Fasttrack looks just like Fasttrack, but has red eyes and lacks the Ultimatrix symbol.
Powers and Abilities
Much like XLR8, Fasttrack has enhanced speed and agility, and is shown to have good reflexes.
An ability that sets Fasttrack apart from XLR8 is his enhanced strength, considering he was able to carry both Magister Hulka and Tack without losing speed.[1] Technically speaking, Fasttrack is physically stronger than XLR8.[MW 1]
Fasttrack is capable of jumping to great heights whilst running.[2]
The blade-like structures on FastTrack's arms and legs could be used as weapons to cut and tear when running past someone at a fast pace.
Weaknesses
Fasttrack, if running fast enough, can have a hard time stopping.[3]
