Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p Flat-Top is the brick truck from the musical Starlight Express. Often played as a punk, Flat-Top tries his hardest to be seen as the rebel without a cause. Still, underneath it all, he's actually a sweet and caring kind of guy. He idolizes Greaseball but doesn't see how mean Greaseball is until he later beats up Rusty. Even though Rusty and Dustin the Big Hopper are his best friends, he almost always follows Greaseball and his gang, tagging along at the back. He has also been played as a prepubescent boy, anxious for status and desperate to be one of the gang even if it means initiation hazing, whilst still the kid of the freight yard trying to prove his worth there too (though he generally opens his mouth just in time to put his foot in it). He has split loyalties, between his Freight friends and wanting to be cool with the Diesel gang. With CB removed from the show in late London, he was probably the deepest and most complex character on stage. While he apparently condones Greaseball's gang beating up Rusty (without actually throwing a punch himself), he sneaks back after they've gone to give him back his racing helmet and check that he's alright.. }
