It has also appeared in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged as a rocket class vehicle, but it may be the worst of its class due to his low stats.

Merchandise and Other Toys

Stunt Devils (2012-2013)

This 1:64 scale version of Bad to the Blade is a mostly plastic and modified version of the original with a green Team Hot Wheels paint job. This car had the ability to do backflips by using it's base  and was later released again in 2013.

Fipping Fury (2015)

This two-in-one car is a very odd hybrid of Bad to the Blade and Rat-ified. With two pairs of giant wheels for double sided driving capabilities. This vehicle featured lights, and sounds and needed 4 AA batteries for it to work, lucky they come installed.
