Red Max

Red Max

Red Max is a Bavarian daredvil pilot and air ace whose name is an combination of the Red Baron and the Blue Max, who drove his Crimson Haybailer, a car/plane hybrid that was capable of limited flight, usually just enough to leapfrog over racers or obstacles in its path. Red Max could use his propeller as a weapon to slice other cars into pieces, which was demonstrated effectively in one race against the Ant Hill Mob's long stretching Bullet-Proof Bomb. The Haybailer also had a mounted machine gun, which was used sporadically. The Haybailer's transformation from plane to car/plane hybrid seems to have significantly weakened its flying ability, and Max often has to bail out when the Haybailer breaks down.
