@Bluespirit Did you mean ‘wouldn't/would not have’?

[@wakspacific6928]

@ Team Hot Wheels?

[@mayborneflower]

Oh, speaking of multiverses and other Hot Wheels animations, Vert Wheeler is actually a recurring character in Hot Wheels media, as he was the central character of the World Race and Acceleracers movies, which share a canon and take place after one another.

[@wakspacific6928]

I believe it’s theorized BF5 takes place in a canon where Vert never joined The World Race.

[@placeholder2924]

Battle Force 5 still follows Vert as a central character, but is a separate universe. It is not part of the world race, acceleracers continuity. The hot wheels infinite loop version of Vert is also the same one from Acceleracers. Battle force 5's vert is an entirely different character.

[@orrthehunter]

The movie series for Highway 35 and Acceleracers were my childhood. I remember watching each one on the very day they aired as a kid. I am still mad today they left the series on such a VERY big cliffhanger. When they announced this show and reveal Vert was returning, I had hoped they atleast cover what happened to Vert and the others after that big cliffhanger but NOPE they just start it out with Vert having already living on his own in a middle of nowhere now he is older. They do in fact show Vert still remembers his days from Highway 35 and Acceleracers in that one episode where he had to ride Zoom's Chopper when Vert say "just like old times" after Zoom mentioned the Nitrobooster function in his bike. This puts up even more questions on what happened between Acceleracers cliffhanger ending and Battle Force 5. Sadly we may never know due to how the developers of this show did not want to touch on what happened to Vert before events of Battle Force 5 and the series once again ends with a big cliffhanger.

Watched your other videos on shows like Slugterra weeks ago, and love your input on these forgotten shows. If anyone has the Full Revolution english version, please share. Fun fact, despite season 2 being dedicated to fusion vehicles, pretty much the majority of season 2's toys never released in the US/Canada, so in a way they were advertising non-existent product, I guess they cut their losses but not far enough to where they cut the animation. Speaking of, Nelvana isn't credited for the Full Revolution finale, suggesting Mattel themselves commissioned it. This also means they shelved it for a year before it aired only in Latin America. This subseries is pretty weird at times.

I feel like it could’ve add some cool extra lore to the series if the two were connected, plus it would give Acceleracers an actual conclusion rather than what we did get (which from what I’ve seen is nothing)!

[@placeholder2924]

Totally separate character. Their origin stories are entirely different. Battle force 5's vert for instance was a kart racer as a kid. He did a lot of driving from a young age in the valley in which the series takes place. He has no desire to work for a team despite that being something he should've learned when he was 16 leading the Wave Rippers. Meanwhile WR/AR Vert starts off surfing and skatebording and actually really has a difficult time driving when he starts off in the Deora II and continues to struggle up until the Ultimate Race. By which point you can assume he figured things out as the Infinite Loop version of Vert is from the same continuity and he has several championships to his name. So they're entirely different unless there are some massive retcons.

[@willnack5315]

Maybe not massive retcons but that is still very informative. Thank you

[@mx9226]

Oh yeah. This existed.

[@NatorNoah]

Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 was a money driven sequel (kinda sequel) to Acceleracers. Mattel realized that there was more money to be made in a tv series rather than movies, so they cancelled the (unofficial, although there were plans) Acceleracers 5th and 6th movies and began production on Battle Force 5. That's why Acceleracers was left on such a cliffhanger. Originally the idea of combining the cars was going to be in Acceleracers 5 and 6 however they were later changed to be included in Battle Force 5. Now for my opinion. Acceleracers + Highway 35 are superior to Battle Force 5, that's why they've gained a much more cult like reputation online, and why mattel re released some of the original Acceleracers designs in their new game. While Battle Force 5 felt like a cash grab to sell toys, Acceleracers never truly felt like that. The story had much more passion and was a lot less childish, had deep lore that touched on a lot of more adult topics (crime, death, etc). I want Mattel to pay tribute to Acceleracers by releasing and acknowledging Acceleracers more, because there are a lot of diehard fans waiting, even after 17 years. Another part of me is glad that they never released Acceleracers 5 and 6, because I feel as though the idea of combining vehicles and other topics that were transferred to Battle Force 5 wouldn't have been a great addition to Acceleracers. Although more content would be appreciated, it is not always required. That's why Acceleracers is the most painfully perfect brand tied movies to ever exist. Also make an episode on Acceleracers please. More large KZbinrs need to acknowledge the existence of those movies to an audience who has maybe never heard of them and emphasize that they should be watched at least once to truly be appreciated. K rant over :)

Watching Battle Force 5 was my late childhood to my teen years. I absolutely loved the show and have binge watched it multiple times over the years. Also, it's a random thing to remember about my childhood lol, I distinctly remember having that exact same road carpet in my room as a kid and using it to play with all my toy cars back in the day.

From Dragon Booster, to Storm Hawks to this, Nerd Crops made a lot of crazy team action shows.

The day i saw this after 3 days later this got released, my first response was "...yeah? I always remember them all the times." Great video!

I cant believe Brian Drummond voiced not only Kurt Wyld from Highway 35/Acceleracers, but also Sherman and Krytus in Battle Force 5 🏁🔥🌟

This has awakened a forgotten memory of mine. Thank you internet cartoon man.

Bro that carpet tracks is spot on. I have them too 😂

This is awesome. I remember the first time I discovered Battle Force 5, it ws a weird time in my life. My parents just had another baby and we were moving out of our apartment while we waited for our new home to be built. In the mean time we lived with grandma for a few months and that's when this show came out. I was switching schools and would wake up 6 because my dad would take me to school when this show happened to be playing. One of the best shows with surprisingly good quality and very underrated is how I'll always remember it.

I watched this with my friend 2 months ago for the first time since I was a kid and I find it so funny that so many people are watching it again now.

[@Phantom_Kraken]

I’m glad someone’s covering this because this theme has been stuck in my head for too long

[@ikanberapi2189]

i did remember, and i almost watch every episode of it when i was a kid

[@MoistGloo]

Man, I just wanna say thank you about two weeks ago I remembered this cartoon about a teen driving car bout the memories was vague but remembered that really loved it search everywhere but did find anything, around this same time I saw your youtube channel, and saw you were finding old and really forgotten cartoons sp I subscribed hoping you could find my cartoon two weeks later low and behold. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@blackportalcas]

This was in my top 5 favorite shows growing up and i still love it today

[@electricboltz9028]

Battle force 5 was such an awesome series and really underrated for what it did. also I would love to see you cover Acceleracers and world race and the toys one day, those movies were so awesome and that final ending in the final movie was so crazy

[@Petetheshmeat3]

When I was younger I found the special with subtitles at a terrible quality, I never knew if I had imagined it cause I never could find anything else about it. So happy that you covered it so I know I’m not crazy 😂

[@Shadow_284]

It’s funny, I just started a rewatch of this series a couple months ago on a random whim. But I only got partway through season 1. Both this and Storm Hawks. Loved watching it when it originally aired though. I should get back to it. But speaking of which, I’d love to see you cover Storm Hawks (if you haven’t already, new to the channel)!

[@spartana1116]

I remember watching this everyday school day morning with breakfast and always made sure to record the rest before leaving to school

[@orckingi1208]

I found this show on KZbin a few years ago on accident. I saw the title and thought it looked interesting because I had never seen or heard of a Hot Wheels show before. So I watched it. I'm pretty sure I never watched the entire show on KZbin, but I loved it. It had everything you would need to become a kid again. I would love it if KZbin would put the entire show back on, in order.

[@kittfln8168]

I have this on DVD, n my daughter's love this show

[@dantonfallen4570]

Yeah, I do remember it. I even remember one time, when it was still popular, I managed to get the Orange car as a Hot wheels Toy. I cant remember well what it was in the show since I watched it so long ago... I think it was a Magnet-Kinda Car? I remember getting Playdough all over that thing, and never finding it again after moving houses. Ah, the memories...

[@TheSurvivorman98]

I reeeealy want you to do acceleracers and world race cause I had those as a kid and for some reason I have fond memories of them
