In news so burning hot it'll melt through the tarmac if we delay sharing it a second longer, we've teamed up with Mattel for a new range of Minecraft Hot Wheels cars! So Minecraft fans, better start your engines! Wait, do people have engines? Probably? Yeah? Biology teachers, send your hate mail to the usual address.

Everyone else, check out these awesome new Hot Wheels motors, which transform Minecraft's monsters into fierce auto-mobiles. But how did they do it? Marsh sat down with Bryan Benedict, designer for Mattel, to find out! Marsh didn't ask Bryan if people have engines though, because Marsh is the brains of this operation.

Marsh: could you tell me a little bit about how you came to work at Mattel and Hot Wheels?

Bryan Benedict: I spent ten years in the car industry designing real cars before coming to Mattel. I studied automotive design at ArtCenter and after ten years in the industry, Mattel actually reached out to me out of the blue and asked if I would be interested in joining the team here. It sounded like an exciting opportunity and I haven’t regretted a moment of it since. It’s been a blast!
