These cars were available in a variety of Atomix line offerings. Some vehicles could be found packaged with mainline Hot Wheels vehicles as free bonus cars. Others were exclusive to vehicle packs or track sets.
NOTE: Based on the pattern that each team seems to have 3 Atomix vehicles, it is likely that two Roadbeasts entries are missing from this table.
