Appearance
In vehicle form, Famous Car is a sleek, open-top crimson Ferrari with carbon-fiber side mirrors and a small upturned rear tail. Its transformed body resembles the taxi-type Autobots encountered earlier, but is visibly more refined in both surface texture and internal structure. 114 125
- Crimson Ferrari alternate form.
- Can transform into a humanoid steel giant.
- Standard robot form is described as smaller than a giant Spider Robot. 126
- After its final upgrade, stands more than 3.5 meters tall. 133
- Upgraded form has propeller-like mechanisms extending from its doors and rear, a large lower tray, and exhaust pipes five times wider than ordinary vehicle exhausts. 133
Personality
Famous Car prioritizes comfort over safety, directly clashing with Castle during the group's preparations for Tibet. 124 It appears strongly responsive to Michelle: when Michelle is threatened and encourages it during its battle with a Spider Robot, Famous Car reverses its disadvantage and resists harder. 126
Unlike Castle, it cannot speak directly to its human partner and communicates through text messages, but it actively monitors Michelle's surroundings and sends alerts. 115
Abilities & Skills
Transformation and Autonomous Transport
Famous Car can operate independently as a Ferrari or transform into a combat-capable humanoid machine.
- Drives continuously without manual control. 125
- Provides automatic driving, navigation, and safety avoidance. 124
- Can brake autonomously when its driver is unable to control it. 114
- In upgraded form, carries several passengers inside its transformed interior. 133
Scanning and Navigation
Famous Car possesses sensor systems suited to travel and reconnaissance.
- Detects nearby carbon-based lifeforms and transmits identifying details to Michelle by text. 115
- Uses radar scans with Castle to check for people near the Himalayas, helping the group avoid discovery. 125
- Provides solar-energy search data used to select a gentler mountain route. 125
Combat
Famous Car is capable of direct close-quarters combat against robotic enemies.
- Attacks with heavy iron fists and can tear off a Spider Robot's legs. 126
- Uses exposed cables and severed metal limbs as weapons against larger opponents. 126
- Endures severe damage while holding off Spider Robots so Castle can crack a secured door's password. 126 127
- Is damaged by an EMP shockwave in the ancient base and later reverts to a non-combat state. 128 129
Upgraded Mobility
Castle's final upgrade greatly expands Famous Car's operational range. 133
- Flies at speeds comparable to a helicopter.
- Travels underwater like a miniature submarine without flooding its passenger compartment.
- Escapes Skynet's forces through the air and sea, though sustained attacks eventually force it back to the surface. 133
History
Michelle's Ferrari gained the ability to transform approximately one month before she met Pei Shao. Michelle concealed Famous Car from U Company despite pressure from her family and the company to surrender it. 116
Famous Car first confronts Pei Shao in an underground parking garage, luring him inside before attacking with laser beams from its headlights. Pei Shao evades the attack, disables its wheels, and enters the cabin, where he discovers Michelle is its driver. 114 Michelle subsequently identifies the Ferrari as Famous Car and explains that it can only communicate with her through text messages. 115
During the journey toward Tibet, Famous Car serves as the group's primary vehicle, traveling continuously and supplying Michelle with a device that immediately relieves her altitude sickness. When terrain becomes too steep for driving, it transforms and proceeds on foot alongside the group. 125
At the ancient mixed-blood robot base, Famous Car holds off Spider Robots while Castle works on the door's password. It suffers serious damage, including a damaged neck and the loss of an arm, before Pei Shao intervenes. 126 127 The base's final EMP defense damages both Famous Car and Castle; afterward, Famous Car becomes unresponsive in its non-combat state. 128 129
After Skynet captures the group, Famous Car is initially with Skynet, but responds when Castle contacts it and rushes to assist Michelle, Pei Shao, Lin Meijing, and Dongfang Yinyin. 132 Castle then upgrades it using data from Pei Shao's brain, allowing it to transport the group out of Skynet's base by land, air, and sea. 133
Famous Car remains with Pei Shao for the final assault on Skynet's super Transformer. After delivering the others to a rescue transport plane, it carries Pei Shao toward Skynet's position. Under overwhelming fire, Famous Car is riddled with shots, breaks apart in midair, and its electronic eyes go dark. 133
Relationships
- Michelle — Partner and owner. Famous Car monitors her safety, communicates through text messages, and responds strongly when she is endangered or encourages it in battle. 115 126
- Castle — Allied Silicon-based Person. The two cooperate in the Himalayas and ancient base, though they also argue over whether supplies should prioritize safety or comfort. 124 126
- Pei Shao — Ally and passenger. Famous Car transports Pei Shao's group during their escape from Skynet and carries him into the final battle. 132 133
- Skynet — Temporary associate during the group's captivity, but ultimately an enemy; Famous Car returns to aid Michelle and joins the escape. 132 133
