Carmageddon: Reincarnation

Vlad is confirmed as a racer for Reincarnation: During the Kickstarter there was talk of Patrick Buckland revising his role as Vlad for the Prat cam. Later, one of the dev tasks was "Vlad grey box complete".

The Annihilator and a concept for Vlad first appeared on a downloadable poster provided as a reward option for Kickstarter backers, and on the later postcard rewards. The wallpaper also depicts various other drivers not officially shown in blogs or elsewhere on the official site at the time - many of these have since been made public as Carmageddon.com's new background image.

The untextured model, working in game, for The Annihilator was revealed on the Carmageddon Twitch livestream on 30th April. It was added to the game in Update 2 on May 7th 2014. It was textured and considered complete in Update 3 on June 18th 2014.

Trivia

Animated mugshot
  • Most of Vlad's vehicles are modelled after standard Top Fuel dragsters, but the original Annihilator is a Funny Car. It's particularly reminiscent of Dale Pulde's War Eagle.
  • In Carmageddon this was and is the fastest car on the road, but is very hard to control due to its speed.
    • In Funsize, it now seems to have Hot Rod built-into it. Be very careful with it!
  • He is almost certainly named after Vlad the Impaler, especially when one considers the large spike on the front of his dragster.
    • In TDR 2000, his name is indeed Vlad the Impaler.
  • Weirdly, considering Nintendo's past policy on censorship, the car's spike in the Nintendo 64 port is stained with blood.
  • Vlad's mugshot in the first game is based on Stainless co-founder Patrick Buckland.[1]
Patrick Buckland
  • Vlad is the only character other than Max Damage to appear in all three of the main games in the Carmageddon series. Psycho Pitbull and Heinz Faust come close, but both of their vehicles in TDR 2000 are driven by other drivers. Vlad is in fact the only character other than Max to return for TDR at all!
  • Vlad is the only driver whose vehicle is stealworthy in Carmageddon but not in the Splat Pack.
    • Unlike other non-stealworthy vehicles in Splat Pack, Vlad's vehicle lacks a CHEAT banner.
