The Vert Wheeler Theory: Highway 35, AcceleRacers, Battle Force 5, Infinite Loop. They're connected?

This theory is my attempt at combining all the Vert Wheeler versions into a single character by including common plot devices to rationalize the lack of explanation for our beloved Surf Rat.

I always headcannoned that Infinite Loop takes place decades after Acceleracers, where they did finally come in contact with the Accelerons, and the reward for passing all their tests would be the power to create tracks and cars of their own. This technology led to the future we see in Infinite Loop. I think World Race could have taken place in the future as opposed to 2003, to address that time gap. I mean, they predicted casual GPS usage.

[@Sakurubii]

After watching the last movie from hot wheels acceleracers and seeing Vert in a acceleron outfit, seeing Vert in infinite loop made me think about the future of the series. I was very surprised to see him again after almost a decade from battle force 5.

[@Toxic2T]

lul

[@SATADELUXE]

Sadly, i think Mattel and Mainframe (if it is still up) won't make a 5th movie on acceleracers, since the main reason acceleracers was cancelled was because it was being popular.

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

@@SATADELUXE But that was 2006 or 07 Mattel, when Zoomers were still kids. Most of them are now adults and want this back. Take this from a late Millennial (1993) who talks to a lot of them on a regular basis about this. I'm sure there's another studio out there that can take on Mainframe's style if they're not available anymore. We'll definitely see *something* happen once the Boomer bean counters of today and yesterday are finally aged out and gone. Jeff Gomez, creator of Highway 35, brought up an amazing point: someone from Gen Z, who grew up with this era, is going to be in charge at Mattel in the future, and that person will probably be burning with nostalgic passion for it.

i just want them to release a HW game for console with the premise of infinite loop. having dozens of HW fantasy models to choose from, being able to create your own decals for cars, and having an open world racing experience in a massive HW themed city. essentially being velocity x but on steroids.

[@BallisticGhast6]

So basically the hot wheels dlc from Forza

[@MasterOfTruck]

@@BallisticGhast6 the HW dlc from forza was lacking a whole lot because it was essentially just a small "island" of track because they couldnt change the actual map itself. im talking about an upscaled map like the ones used in velocity x where common roads had loops, corkscrews, half pipe u-turns, and stunt ramps. im talking about a GENUINE hotwheels city, not that crap.

[@BallisticGhast6]

Chuggaacola I do think they should’ve made it bigger, but I get what you’re saying now. Also, they did mention in Forza that they guys that were behind the track also wanted to know how to harness time travel (the rewind ability in the game). Ngl, but I bet it somewhat falls in this theory as well

[@animeprofilepicture8855]

open worlds are boring and uninspired. they were cool like a decade ago.

[@combativeThinker]

Chuggaacola You should look into Beam NG Drive, then. There’s some cool fan-made Hot Wheels stuff in that game.

[@lavaracer1]

My opinion on vert from Acceleracers to BF5 was that, after whatever happend at the end of Ultimate Race, both Jack Jr. and Vert had their memories altered and were returned to their home, where vert eventually picked up his racing habbits again and moved to the salt flats, beginnign the BF5 series. I say Jack Jr. as well since it would be best to remove any way of Vert finding out about his past, and we have seen Jack in the BF5 series, but very different.

[@maksymilians931]

As a kid who grew up on late night's Hot Wheels Battle Force 5, and was born a bit too late for the Acceleracers, Highway 35 and Acceleracers were an absolute love letter to what i loved as a kid. I am really happy i didn't find them sooner, as it wouldn't have had the nostalgia.

[@jordanalbert9862]

Thank you for this. We all grow up. I'm currently building up a 91 integra with a h22a4 in it. This gave me closure. I never thought about a lot of this, it's also actually somewhat nice to know that season 2 never happened now. Wouldn't have been the same with mechs. You're amazing.

[@brianfields1732]

I like the idea that after the events of World Race and Acceleracers, Vert entered a witsec/undercover program and became Brian O'Connor.

Well we saw old Smokey from acceleracers in bf5 so either that was a reference to acceleracers or that supports the theory of the alternate timeline

Since Battle Force 5 is about the multiverse, and a multiverse is supposed to be infinite universes with infinite possibilities, that could make Battle Force 5 an alt-universe spin off to Acceleracers.

For me I always thought that after acceleracers Vert's dad erased his memory of that had to do with highway 35 and gave him new memories. Starting battle force 5 and why the back story of his dad is different

Vert didn't lose his memories he just didn't get to join the accellerons he knew everything when went to the silencer headquarters

[@mypheelz]

Damn, these theories are amazing. I do wonder though, why would combining the artifact an Acceleron gave to a human with an artifact that helped humans reach the Accelerons result in sending them to Zones? Also, the Season 2 and timeline theories make the Sentients from BF5 seem a lot like the Accelerons.

[@jakstrieder]

I can already poke one hole in your video. Vert's dad showed up in BF5.. and he wasn't the same father from the 35's, Vert called him a dead beat witch I don't think he would have even if he dissipated once. the father from the 35 time line was a upstanding guy who was job oriented and that last bit of bonding before he went missing would have left Vert to ask where he had been and showing concern for him not anger when they got back together. in fact like the BF5 Vert his dad was out on the flats testing a car he had been working on and got sucked up but didn't find out how to get back.

[@RodrigoMatela]

Hi! Would it be possible to put for download the whole acceleracers 1080p60 fps movies? It would be very good to see even offline with that quality! Thanks

[@RedLee20]

This is actually mostly wrong. Heres the correct theory: In the 5th movie (End of Acceleracers) it reveals that Karma Eiss was actually an Acceleron. The body of of Karma was actually a clone of Vert's mom made by Jack Jr. after losing his wife (who's soul is actually inside Reverb). However, something happened to the body which made it unrecognizable as Vert's mom. The body was later possessed by an Acceleron. And thats how Karma came to be. And thats also why Vert never recognized her. Scrim and Silencerz aren't the same but are in an alliance. Jack Jr. lead Silencerz to kill drones and see his wife again. And he helps Scrim with starting the "Human Vehicality Project" which puts every human soul inside one specific car. Now at the end of EoA, Vert Wheeler sees the drones have killed Lani. So he freaks out and starts "The Third Influence". (The influences were unnatural disasters that happened to Earth most likely due to Accelerons. First Influence was before human existence. Thats when they banished the drones to Earth. Second Influence was when the drones awakened which blew up a section of Earth and caused many disasters throughout the rest of Earth.) Once he starts the Third Influence, Karma's giant naked body ascended from Earth to speak to Vert. Vert was scared so Karma took the form of Brian Kadeem which immediately comforted Vert. Karma brought every Accelecharger in existence and every Wheel of Power in existence to surround Reverb. They fused into a huge giant wheel which Reverb (Vert inside) was put into. Thats when Scrim were about to get what they want. Everybody's bodies turned into Accelechargers and their souls went into Reverb. The Human Vehicality Project began. Karma's third eye opens to let the giant WoP inside. Her third eye closes after its inside. Karma and Kadeem then talk to Vert about the many realities he could create. He rejects the Human Vehicality Project and lets everyone free from Reverb. He wakes up on a shore, the sea full of Accelechargers. Wrecked cars everywhere. He finds Lani lying on the ground. He goes over there and squeezes her finger to see if shes awake. She didn't wake up though. So Vert choked her a little to wake her up. After she woke up, she thought she saw Gelorum and called Vert disgusting. After that, Karma and Kadeem meet Vert on the shore. Vert decides to split everyone into different realities (Acceleracers, Battle Force 5, Evil Force 5, Infinite Loop, and Acceleracers rebuilds which were cut and never released.). And thats how the many other realities came to be. BTW: It is true Banjee and the others are Silencerz. As we see in the prequel series known as "Neon Genesis Acceleracers" that takes place in between World Race and Acceleracers, we see Banjee and the others become Silencerz.

[@ajvincent124]

I never thought this went so deep omg back when acceleracers ended i just thought of all the different ways it should have ended

[@joshadventure8253]

I’ve actually thought about this idea before. My theory is that after Highway 35 and acceleracers, the teku and metal maniacs search for Vert and ultimately are found and taken in by the silencers. They work together to bring the fight to the drones. I don’t know what the ultimate goal of the silencers is, likely getting the wheel of power as we saw at the end of world race and using its benefits, but I’d like to imagine that they would use it to power the world or for some reason put it back in its resting place. However, all this moving in and out of realms would attract the attention of other dimensional beings, like we see in battle force 5, who would want to invade earth for the wheel of power and maybe use it for its power or to get to the accelerons for their tech and secrets. This would likely take place some time after the events of acceleracers as Vert doesn’t seem to have any of his old buddies around. What their fate may be, who knows. At some point in this conflict, it’s possible that Vert would somehow be able to see the accelerons once again and maybe be able to go to their world or learn of secrets from them. This would eventually lead to the point of the defeat of the other dimensional beings being fought in battle force 5 and would make it to the point of infinite loop, a much more peaceful point of the timeline, with an advanced humanity and Vert Wheeler at peace, driving to his heart’s content. I’d like to imagine that this is a point in time where Vert has been rewarded for completing the challenges and all the new tech we see comes from the accelerons. Sorry for the rant, but I’ve been waiting for some time to find the right place to put my theory. I’m so glad this fandom is still alive. I didn’t want to give too long of a rant so sorry if I didn’t give all the details.

[@MasterOfTruck]

well considering that vert's dad is military, and his "unit" turned out to be the silencerz, based on the tech that they have and utilize you could assume the purpose of the silencerz is being a private military branch whose purpose is to obtain and research other worldly technology in order to find a way to benefit humanity.

[@dawnfan88]

What’s the name of the song at the end of the video?

[@TauromOG]

Watching your video, and hearing about the cards game time line. I realized something that might explain why the movies timeline has less racing realms than the "original" time line, and might connect the 2nd and 4th into being the same timeline. In my opinion, the difference resides in if they had to return the "wheel of power" or not, let me explain. When they showed the "Wheel of power" for the first time it had all it's rings spinning, but at the beginning of Acceleracers "Ignition" when Dr. Tesla is trying to retrieve it form the drones, the wheel was in it's "resting" position with all it's ring aligned. Sure this might be just concept art difference decided by the Acceleracers movie production team, but what if it isn't? What if this was somewhat intended? In my opinion this explains it all. I believe that the moment Vert took the "Wheel of power" it started to configure itself for the racing realms challenge, but then they decided to return it and because of that, no one noticed that it was already opening the racing realms. Although, because no one entered, I believe the Wheel of Power detected this and just discarded those realms and delayed the rate of opening of realms until the Drones entered the realms for the first time. I think this is possible because of the Wheel's capacity to configure the racing realms for the "Ultimate Race". So in my opinion this is why the movies time line has less racing realms than the 2nd time line, and if we consider this as a difference of "did they returned the wheel or not?" this makes the 2nd timeline a timeline where they didn't had to return it, the same set up you propose for the 4th timeline, and because both are "games timelines" we could even consider the possibility of 2nd and 4th timelines being the same timeline.
