Cap Blastin'

Back of the Package revealing a Blue Prototype Blast Trax

Cap Blastin' Hot Wheels were a series released in 1991. Each car was packaged with a launcher and percussion caps. Even though there is six cars in this series only three different castings were used. Back Burner & Sonic Special are the same casting which was later released as Speed Blaster. Jet Threat & Blast Trax are also the same casting which was later released as Road Pirate. Lastly, Velocitor & Road Torch are the same casting that appears to have not been released again. However, the names Velocitor & Road Torch were recycled for other castings.

Notice the names of each car is a re-issued name from somewhere in the Mattel lineup of toys. Usually this happens when a name needs to have copyrights renewed. "Back Burner" a 1986 Science Friction casting from the Ultra Hots lineup. "Jet Threat" the original redline car to the blackwall era. "Velocitor" was a new name but, re-copyrighted again into the Thunderburner of the late 90's. "Sonic Special" was originally the Mini Truck of 1990's. "Blast Trax" This must be a new name and no reference's to past products in HW. "Road Torch" used again based off the Mercedes race car from the mid-80s. Still to this day names are reused to be saved by copyright renewals
