The Air-amis (Mark I) is patterned after the hover car originally designed by The Musketeer. It is a hover car with an open top. The windshield does cut down on the amount of wind buffeting the passengers, but the engines are designed to only reach a top speed of 120 MPH to avoid injuring any human-level occupants. The mass produced versions of the vehicle, like their predicessor, are painted silver.

The Air-amis (Mark II) was patterned after the hover car originally designed by The Musketeer, with the Mark II merging the new additions from the Mark I with the advantages that were cut from the original for economic purposes. While it still has the windshield to cut down on the amount of wind buffeting the passengers, the Mark II has a the hard converable top returned, able to rise into place to provide extra protection. The engines have been modified to reach a top speed of 250 MPH when it is place. Trying to push the engines beyond that limitation is not advised, though, as higher G-force may cause structural damage. These, like their predicessors, are painted silver.

The Dart-agnan is the next-gen design hover car design based off of The Musketeer's creation. As opposed to its predesessors, it is a fully-enclosed vehicle, doing away with the convertable option. This enables the engines, now powered by a mini fusion reactor, to reach 500 MPH without fear of injuring passengers. Likewise, the exterior has armor fortification to provide extra protection. Sensors have also been incorporated, giving passengers access to radar and video capabilities. The Dart-agnan comes in a choice of light grey, red, violet or brown exterior, based on The Musketeer's costume colors.

Using the second Golden Eagle helicopter as a prototype, the Silver Eagles are designed to be an armored group transport capable of significant speed and security. When it's fixed rotor is engaged and afterburners ignited, it is capable of reaching 2000 MPH. Its hull has been upgraded with re-inforced armor plating to provide extra protection. Unlike the original, however, this model does not come with either the rocket sysems or machine guns, avoiding negative public opinion over protection organizations having military ordinances. As the name implies, they are silver in color.
