Vehicles

The squadron ship, the Mob space cars, a prison-towing bat and a motorcycle three hundred years old. Two things are worth flagging before you start. Mon*Star does not fly a machine, he rides an armoured living squid. And the team ship is spelled three different ways by the show, the Kenner box and our own episode data, which its entry lays out rather than tidies away.
