Preying Menace
Preying Menace is an open-wheel hot rod shaped like a praying mantis. Its name is a play on words of the insect it is inspired by; the Praying Mantis. Originally the casting featured an opening canopy, but in 2015 the casting was retooled with this feature removed. The casting was retooled again in 2018, with the canopy made smaller."What if, maybe on some far-off alien planet, the agility and cunning of the praying mantis were genetically fused with the awesome power and speed of the modern g-machine? The result would be the potent package that is Preying Menace™!"Rob Matthes - 2006 Hot Wheels® Designer Calendar
