    The true ending of this series was a movie called Hot Wheels Battle Force 5: Full Revolution. It was only broadcasted in latin america, since it was more popular there. That means the english dub, the "original" one, was never shown (it is unknown if there was ever a recording in first place, though the credits on the movie are in english, which indicates that yes, it should exist). If you want to search it, in spanish is called "Revolución Total". Sadly, it doesn't tell what happened to Sol.

And the guy who made the storyboards uploaded years ago the one for the final scene, which was longer and epic, sad it wasn't animated like that. If you see the final scene in the movie you can note how it was rushed, compared to how it was planned to be.

    Battle force 5 is the lost acceleracers sequel...
    Reusing car designs and lost designs from Acceleracers that weren't added into the movies...
    It honestly feels like all of the plot points:
    Saving the singular alien from the robots and bad guys, last of their race (keep in mind we only see one at the end of acceleracers)
    Showing the sentient (alien) homeworld
    Using robots and another form of enemy
    Vert is the main character with a focus of other characters (silencerz team, after finishing the teku/metal maniacs plot?)
    The battle keys, very reminiscent of the accelecards.
    Showing the warp area that powers the warps...
    It just seems like some of the major plot points were taken directly from Acceleracers and the direction the original film series was supposed to go to.
    Even then, I wish we could get at least SOME sort of closure for acceleracers. Man ...

      @@karsten3360 no...... Calling the main character Vert is an easy way for mattel to keep the trademark. the original hot wheels show from the 90's had a character called Vert and i highly doubt ar was a sequel to that. it's the exact same reason that reverb was reused in Battle Force 5. An example of this is the character optimus prime being reused for each incarnation of the show despite being different characters. And the 2 brothers is just a common tv trope of having one be scared and one not. it's not a reference to acceleracers. Again battle force 5 is Not a sequel to acceleracers.

    I honestly really liked BF5 as a series. I thought it was fun, and it even had some easter eggs to the previous series, Acceleracers. I'm talking blatant easter eggs, like the very first scenes of the show have Vert, a recurring character, climbing into his most famous car, Power Rage. The car he crashed in the water realm. Reverb, the name of Stanford's car, in reference to the car of the same name in Acceleracers. And finally, the 'hardest one' to spot is in an episode where they end up at the gas station cafe. In a split second you see Old Smokey, Porkchop's big rig from, again, Acceleracers, passing the gang almost running Stanford over. It's even still got Metal Maniacs insignia on it. It wasn't carrying cars as far as I remember though. It was driving empty. But still, people did get references to the greatest Hot Wheels tv/movie property in this series. And to boot it was a serviceable series. Enjoyable and fun, but no WR or Acceleracers. I just wish the show properly ended for me. I got as far as Fused and the Red Sentient arcs, and no episodes ever came back on the website or even on youtube. To this day, I still wonder what Rawkus was on about.

    I watched this series when I was younger, re-watched it a few years ago, and enjoyed the hell out of it. I really liked the art style they took on this (practically the same as League of Super Evil, Slugterra, etc.) and I loved the story. Too bad season 3 was only dubbed/subbed in Spanish and just never got English dub/sub.
    I used to have the actual hotwheels toy for the martial arts guy (kid in yellow who rides the motorcycle that can fly) cause he was my favorote character. When they had an episode and it involved where he came from and we got to see his sensei I think and either a kid who wanted to be his disciple or was his little brother (I'm not sure), that was one of my favorite episodes.
    Edit: Not really a season 3 but more like a part 3. It's a movie. I just refer to it as season 3 because it had a new opening, title, arc, etc. (Kinda what Ninjago did with their "Rise of the Oni" arc where its considered a movie even though its just 3 seperate episodes back to back but it can either be considered its own mini-season or be part of the previous "Sons of Garmadon" season. You get the point.)

Kinda like in Accelleracers they're embracing the "drive to survive" motto of the theme song but in BF5 its more like "Drive for revenge".

    Could you look at "hotwheels world race" and "hotwheels acceleracers"? They are both shows that came out before "battle force 5" and have that over arching story line you were missing from "battle force 5".

    I used to love this show as a kid. Was always my favorite. Not sure why people are saying how they thought that they were the only one who used to watch it.
    Anyway, I think I lost interested when the Fusion force came. When they added new characters. Nothing was really spontaneous for me in the new characters. Sage's brother brought in some conflict which was good actually but the dude who wears brown (who I can't even bother to remember their name) and the Blonde haired dude who wears blue. Again can't remember them. I think it would be better if they showed the families (Vert family like his father etc ) or something.
    The downfall, in my opinion, was how they made a movie, not in English or other languages but only Spanish.

  • @platinumpro54
    @platinumpro54 3 года назад +7

    If you enjoyed Battle Force 5, I think you'll absolutely love the Hot wheels Acceleracers show and highway 35 movie. Your big complaint was that the show didn't feel like it had an overarching story, but Acceleracers actually does have a main story that all the episodes build itself up too. The show also has no problem with establishing the stakes of the show (going as far as presumably killing off a character from the movie in the tv show). As a dumb kid, I didn't understand it and realized just how surprisingly dark the show can get at times. Another thing, the humans in Acceleracers aren't "best of buds" straight off the bat. There are two competing human teams that each hate each other for reasons explained in the show. The characters in the show also have different reasons for joining each side.
    Put this on top of the fact that they have to face evil robots that have no problem trying to kill the human drivers (and almost always failing). But killing the drivers isn't the objective for the robots, its winning the race (for reasons told fairly quickly in the show). They also start the humans off with a disadvantage in the race because they don't have cheat cards that the robots have won for winning races. So, these all add up together to make the viewer feel like the good guys are in an unwinnable scenario, which makes their seldom victories so much better.
    I absolutely loved this show and was incredibly disappointed that Battle Force 5 wasn't a sequel to the original, and as a result, soured my opinion of the 2009 show. It felt far more formulaic than the original and was lacking substance in my opinion (I think I remember watching some or all of season 1 and then leaving the show). While the original Hot wheels movie and series aren't perfect (the movie is PINNACLE 2000's with the skateboarder cool kid trope and everything) it is an improvement of Battle Force 5 in my opinion. Although the battle force 5 theme song was addictively awesome when I heard it as a kid.
    TL:DR: Hot Wheels Acceleracers is arguable an objectively better show than Battle Force 5 and Negative Legend should 100% check the original movie and show out.

    There’s also, one more thing battle force 5 had, a TV movie that lasted 45 minutes, called “Battle force 5, Full Revolution” which was about a new race of villains called the Karmordians, wanting to take over the multiverse, and if you haven’t heard of it, it’s probably cause it only aired South America, it had an English dub version but right now that’s been lost in the years since it released

    The season 1 finale gave me chills.

    So I do have a few issues with your analysis, now do I not like your analysis, no, but some issues did occur.
    So the big one, plots not getting used and getting well...destroyed, here’s the thing. At least for the US, they had very limited episodes to work with ( the rest were made for other regions ), and it seems from the show, the team cared for an ending Generator Rex style.
    So they did so, regardless if they left a lot of plots to be destroyed. I actually like that they did that because than we’d feel disappointed a lot more without some ending and another show goes dodo on us.
    Secondly, the first season, while it may have been one shots, those one shots gave context for the world within the show , it basically was less of a lore dump at the beginning and more of a lore path that continued to the point of what we needed and then we would then go into Season 2.
    Thirdly, yes, the fan base is small but that is because this came around a time when fan bases didn’t go at shows like people do now for gravity falls. The mysteries that existed for the show kind of had the same following as the Tron movies and animated show had.
    The fan bases weren’t big enough to facilitate owl house or gravity falls level fan base crazy..or even RUclips videos on it for that matter when the show was airing. At least they weren’t popular enough to show up at the time if they did exist.
    Anyway, liked the video but your perspective needs to shift ever so slightly to see why it had to do these things and why it went the way it did.
    Without seeing that, you’ll think of it like an incomplete gravity falls.

      It was never intended to be a reboot of Acceleracers. The name “Vert” was rebranded for the show so it can be used again, despite the fact if both of them had no correlations to each other. Yes, they are “the protagonists” in both shows but these are separate shows in separate universes. Therefore, having no actual correlation in the timeline of these shows. Although, some aspects of Acceleracers was used in BF5 such as mech suits, cars, etc, it still doesn’t mean it is a reboot of it. Mattel never intended for it to be a reboot because Acceleracers was already canceled after the 4th movie.

    Just a note: Battleforce 5 was sort of a continuation of the race battles from before, as Vert was originally brought in as a brand new driver who had just got his license and was selected for the contests (Accelleracers, I think was the start). So, if you follow from that there was no surprise for him to go around through the dimensions, or the later issue with his dad, which 5 tied up (could have been the series after accelerators, it's been quite a while).

    So I have been putting off watching this review when it first got announced and the only reason why is because of me remembering some of the stupid things I did while in the fandom.
    Like making an online petition to keep the show going because we wanted a season 3 and for whatever reason the movie was in Spanish so it never got released in English last I checked. Point is I was 18 and dumb because I didn’t realize that the show needed profit from the toys to survive but the only toys I was aware of was the McDonald’s Happy Meals from when season 2 rolled around. I also have a Wii game that’s…possibly not playable because it’s hiding in a drawer somewhere.

    I watched this show back in middle school. Yes, the majority of Season 1 is skippable (I still haven't watched all of Season 1). In fact, when the show was airing, you could watch it on the official Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 website for free,, which had the first two and last two episodes of the first season and the entirety of Season 2, which was all you really needed.
    Looking back on it, this show isn't great. I thought it was funny that they still called it Battle Force 5 despite the addition of new characters by creating the arbitrary rule that only 5 team vehicles can enter a battle zone at once. But I enjoyed it at the time and was really bummed that it got canceled.
    There was apparently a movie that came out after Season 2, but it was only released in Spanish-speaking territories.
