Axel is vehicle from Twisted Metal (2012). It has a unique trait of being able to jump higher than any other vehicle in the game. This perk comes with a price, however: Axel has fairly low armor and slow special regeneration.
Special Weapons[]
- Spiked War Wheel (60-100 pts.): Axel's new primary special is similar to the secret special in Twisted Metal: Black, conjoining both wheels into one with protruding spikes. The special will hide the player in a spinning wheel of death, which can be steered into opponents for significant damage.
- Crowd Control (20 pts.): The secondary special is the classic shockwave that can knock back enemies caught in the blast radius.
