The Fusion Flea Supreme[1] is a nuclear vehicle found throughout the wastelands of the former United States.
Background[]
A pre-War ultra-sub-compact city transport featuring an advanced Chryslus nuclear-powered engine.[Non-game 1] The one passenger vehicle can be commonly found throughout the wastelands, and sometimes seen less frequently in regions such as the Mojave Desert.
A specially commissioned military variant was used as a scout vehicle all along the US Army's advancing fronts, making use of it's light weight, nimble handling, and small size to drive undetected through enemy defenses.[Non-game 2] It was equipped with a slick, low reflectance matte green paintwork, which blended perfectly with a wide range of environments, rendering the "Military Flea" all but undetectable when it counts.[Non-game 3] Unlike the standard Fusion Flea, the Military Flea used a diesel-fusion engine, instead of the nuclear engine found on civilian models, allowing for more economical driving, as well as more engine power.[Non-game 4]
Characteristics[]
Structurally, the entrance to the driver's seat was achieved through a lift-off roof windshield combination with a latch on one side. The East Coast models are blue in color with three wheels, two in the front and one in the back. The Mojave variants are a green-brown in color and lack the third wheel in the rear. They also feature a rear engine, protruding from behind the driver's seat. If shot at, some of the vehicles will burn briefly and then explode.
