“Though they're not named in either the LEGO sets or the movie, in the original manga and anime, Racer X's car is called the Shooting Star and Cruncher Block's truck is the Mammoth Car.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The Racer X set stands out with its striking minifigure and racecar, offering aesthetic appeal but limited playability due to a basic interior and heavy use of decals. Meanwhile, the Cruncher Block set features a detailed but cramped truck cab with a unique missile feature, though it's marred by a lackluster, underdeveloped trailer that detracts from the overall value.”
