Remember Acceleracers?
>>153345766Kadeem is GONE!
>>153345766I was more of a Battle Force 5 kid
>>153346590but that is the wreckers symbol
>>153346825I got the image from a transformers page
>We'll never find out why Karma looked like Gelorum
>>153345766I remember a video on Youtube that had the first Acceleracers movie in full, but all the music was replaced with Initial D music, and it was rad as hell. Unfortunately, I think it was taken down.
>>153345766Well I do now
ARE YOU READY FOR THE RACE OF A LIFETIME?
>>153350711HOT WHEELS GET SET TO ROLL
>>153350762REV 'EM UP, SHUT 'EM DOWN, PASS THE RED LIGHT
>>153351449GOTTA BE THE BEST IF YOU WANNA WIN IT ALL
I watched the first Acceleracers once and it made me feel sick. Hot Wheels World Race, however, I've seen hundreds of times.
Mattel really needs to make another Hot Wheels series for older kids.
>>153345766I'll never forget and it will never stop hurting.
>>153352020That's the thing, from what I've read they never intended WR/Acceleracers to be as serious as they were. They were just looking for a crew to do a CGI cartoon and happened to end up with a bunch of hardcore autists ready and willing to put 110% into something as basic as a hot wheels cartoon. It was essentially dumb luck we ended up getting a show as good as what we got.
>>153352020Older kids don't play with Hot Wheels, though.
Teku or Maniacs?
>>153345766
>>153354109Silencerz
Rewatching the movies, Lani had bigger tits than I remembered
>>153354513Nitrox containers
>>153354109ManiacsTheir cars are far cooler
At least once a week for years.
>>153345766Highway 35 had way better art design.
Battle Force Five mogs
>>153354783There's give and take. The human characters range from sidegrades to downgrades, the drones are a huge upgrade as well as the realms and the cars. What they did to Taro was a fucking travesty though
>Live to drive
So, what happened between Taro and Lani between World Race and Acceleracers?
>>153345766>>153346463The most heartcrushing cancelation of all time
>>153345766World Race and Acceleracers are on Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slknue6_OKk&list=PL0G13wTY6mZv-u9--NUAu5b7ol-733ntrhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6UHGpF8bbA&list=PLEog1q4kHYllZ2tRVq_6afG5UGNbg55wSI've been binging the second series because of this thread and because I slightly remember it. It's still fucking awesome.

>Five million dollars! What would you do if you had that kind of money, Taro?>I do. And I've done it.
Favorite Realm?
For me it's Karma
Why the fuck do these Acceleracer threads keep popping up every once in a blue moon. I'm not complaining I'm just surprised it's happening, this show rocked. That Tupac looking guy had his flashback played at least 4 times and I kept laughing my ass off every time they kept showing it.
Is it just me or does Markie look like a Mishima?
>>153359326Water or Metro for me.
>>153345766Why didn't this keep going as a franchise?
>>153359326Swamp or Pipeline
If we count that old show about Vert's grandpa, the Hot Wheels cartoons have the same plot progression as the average fighting game franchise
>>153359326As a kid, my favorite track in the video game was Cloud 9.
>>153345766>>153346590Both were good.
