The Plug-2 Behemoth, one of the largest known podracers, had nonetheless excellent turning as well as impressive speed acceleration and cooling, thanks to its massive intake turbines, which made it one of the best podracers in terms of performance.
Mars Guopiloted a Plug-2 Behemoth during the Boonta Eve Classic won by Anakin Skywalker. The cooling turbines almost proved to be fatal for Mars Guo during the Boonta Eve race. The cheating Sebulba tossed a piece of iron in one of Guo's turbines, and the entire engine turned into a flying inferno that snagged one of Anakin's steelton cables almost costing him the race. The vehicle crashed in the desert, but, though he was presumed dead, Guo was found alive.
