Thor-Axine street cars

The Thor-Axine street cars are the vehicles used by Thor-Axine in the Casa Cristo race from the Speed Racer film.

Technical Details
The latest automotive creation from Thor-Axine, this car is said to combine cutting-edge technologies with offensive and defensive features more suited to a Viking longship than a rally car. The deck of the car is constructed of Danish elm, whale bone, and wrought iron.

Like most rally cars participating in the Casa Cristo 5000, it is equipped with illegal weaponry. It is armed with a set of Glorium-infused Gladiatrix maces, in addition to a beehive thrower to catapult beehives into the cockpits of opponents' cars, and the "Hammer of the Gods" for attacking opponents from above is stashed on the underside of the vehicle.

Background
The vehicles are from one of the teams that were hired as headhunters to take out Racer X. The are led by Gothorm in the #63, Broom Hilda in the #65, and Gus in the #67.

#63
The Thor-Axine car numbered 63 can be seen on the second row at the start. In the Muqranna, it takes the middle lane, then switches to the left where it stays out of the action. It can also be seen leaving the Muqranna in good position. Entering the Desert, it is seen trailing behind the Sempre Fi-Ber team. It also passes the Atomic Injectables driver alongside the dunes. It then spins a Sempre Fi-Ber driver on the dunes.

We later see the #63 leading the team as they attack Racer X. It tries to Torpedo X but gets spun as a result. When Speed eventually catches up to the pack, the #63 does a side jump over Speed’s car and uses the Hammer of the Gods, but thankfully misses. Later in the fight it is tricked by Speed, and the Thor-Axine #65 driven by Broom Hilda crashes right into it. Fed up by the fact his whole team got wiped out, Gothorm makes a final stand and uses his jumping jacks to try and spearhead Taejo. This move ends in disaster for him, as he is wiped out by Speed Racer after colliding directly into Colonel Colon rather than his target Taejo.

#65
Starting on the sixth row is car #65, part of the Thor-Axine team. This vehicle doesn’t appear in the Muqranna but regroups with the other cars in the Zunubian Desert. At the Desert it joins the team in attacking Racer X. In the fight it can be seen attempting to shunt X in the dust clouds. While fighting it goes to dive on Speed but misses, hitting its teammate instead. Fed up, Broom Hilda snakes to the right of Speed and attempts to use her beehive thrower. Things don’t go to plan though as Speed bumps the car so that the catapult misfires, having the beehive land in her cockpit instead. This causes her to lose control due to all the bees stinging her, and spins out of the race.

#67
Driving in car #67, Gus of Thor-Axine starts on the eighth row. The illegal Gladiatrix Maces used in this car are showcased prior to the race. At the start, the #67 car tangles with Sempre Fi-Ber's car numbered 61. Despite not being shown in the Muqranna, the car gets through the area with ease. While in the Zunubian Desert, it plows through Sempre Fi-Ber’s car numbered 42. The team decides to take on Racer X, and it is one of the main attackers. In the Dust Clouds is where things get nasty as it shunts Racer X, and then deploys the Gladiatrix Maces. It spins himself in midair to get a wider blast radius but Racer X dodges its attempts. It then tries to maul Taejo with them but Speed knocks the car away. Afterwards, it gets into a shunt with X, and after Gus sees his teammate Broom Hilda get knocked out he’s had it. He loses his temper and uses the car's jump jacks to try and kamikaze Racer X, which doesn’t go to plan and instead the car #67 lands onto Sempre Fi-Ber’s car #42.
