Description
Ok so before I get started, I don't normally draw cars so if this looks bad that's why.When Tony spends an entire month restoring a '78 Beast and accidentally brings it life with his lightning(wanting to give it an extra boost), it becomes the Superbeast. A monster of a car with a short fuse and thirst to crash and smash anything in his way. He also has rockets that come out his roof.
Superbeast gets his name from his theme song, Rob Zombie's Superbeast youtu.be/uHBtpqbOKXk

Fun fact, the similar Rob Zombie song "Dragula"? It's about Grandpa Munster's drag racer. Although in the video for that song, Zombie's actually driving around in the Munster Koach, their family vehicle.

It's true. If you know where to look, Rob Zombie's aesthetic influences can be found all over his oeuvre. (There's a word I don't get to use often enough)
Like a lot of guys in his subgenre, you might call it "Horror Rock", he's influenced by horror stuff he loves. But unlike Marilyn Manson, who used a slick Goth-y image, or Lordi, who goes full-on demonic with their makeup and costumes, and go the GWAR route of having a fictionalized roster and supernatural history, Zombie hedges more towards a Halloween-y, shlock-y Americana aesthetic mixed with the exploitation style of films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Examples, besides the Munsters homage: A lot of his stuff has him accompanied by a scowling robot*, this is from an old film serial called "The Phantom Creeps", the robot was an invention of the mad scientist villain, played by Bela Lugosi. Many of his older songs with White Zombie feature sampled voice clips from old b-horror movies and Star Trek episodes. And of course, most of his films are practically a love letter to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and other films of it's ilk
* If you've ever seen The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, you've seen this robot.

If he did have a theme song like that, it would have to be really awesome to match him.
