Appearance

Ben as Fasttrack

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 Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

Albedo as Negative Fasttrack

Negative Fasttrack looks just like Ben's Fasttrack, but with red eyes and no Ultimatrix symbol.

1/5

Fasttrack has enhanced speed, agility and reflexes. Fasttrack is able to run fast enough to outrun a missile created by Dr. Animo, forcing Animo to increase the power of the missile in an attempt to make it outspeed Fasttrack.

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 Legerdomain.

Fasttrack possesses enhanced durability.

Fasttrack can jump to great heights while running.

Weaknesses

• Exploitable Speed
• Poor Traction
• Slippery Surfaces

1/3

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.

Fasttrack can have a hard time stopping if he runs too quickly.

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.

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.
