Piranha (M.A.S.K.)

This article is about the V.E.N.O.M. transforming motorcycle. For the Cobra submersible, see Piranha (Cobra).

The Piranha is a special vehicle developed by Project Spectrum. The Piranha is an indigo motorcycle with a weaponized sidecar, able to be launched and convert into a submersible vehicle. Its primary pilot is Sylvester "Sly" Rax.
