Hot Rod Chomper

Hot Rod Chomper is a Super Rare variant of the Chomper in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It is a playable character which acts as a melee class with a secondary ability to use crowd control.

Description
''The Hot Rod Chomper is the fastest Chomper in Suburbia. Equipped with a heavy duty blower, port-and-polished heads, and a lightweight frame, he can race in on the unsuspecting Zombies.''

Appearance
Hot Rod Chomper differs from the normal Chomper with its shiny black paint job accented with purple flames, a chrome mouth, and tongue. Upon jumping or chomping, the Hot Rod Chomper makes motor-like noises.

Variant perk
Being Hot Rod Chomper, speed is a definite benefit. Upon swallowing an enemy zombie, the Hot Rod Chomper gains a temporary speed boost of five seconds to help close in the space between it and another enemy zombie. It also quickly recharges the Goop ability to slow down zombies. The only major disadvantage about Hot Rod Chomper is that its health is only 100 (125 if upgraded), instead of the normal 150. Also, zombies can easily spot it because of the constant noises it makes.

Primary weapon
Hot Rod Chomp is the primary weapon of the Hot Rod Chomper. Once a zombie has been eaten, it will gain a speed boost for five seconds.

Supercharged Turbo
Movement speed increased due to addition of a supercharged turbo.

Super Combustion Intestines
Digests Zombies in a very Hot-Roddy manner, allowing for faster digestion.

Reinforced Chassis
A reinforced chassis boosts the health of Hot Rod Chomper.

With
You can use the extra speed to make a quick getaway to a Sunflower or to quickly chase a player down without the use of Burrow. Try to take advantage of speed such as dodging bullets side to side however do not try this while running from a Engineer. The speed also allows you to get almost as fast as Peashooter's Hyper.

Against
Try to use abilities that can help you go faster such as, Scientist's Warp, Foot Soldier's Rocket Jump or Rocket Leap, Engineer's Turbo Jackhammer or Jackhammer or the All-Star's Sprint Tackle or Ultra Tackle. However Sprint Tackle is not recommendable as the Hot Rod Chomper can possibly live and end up getting knocked back to safety.
