Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5

It is an overall good kids show, it may not have the most complex plot and is a comedy half the time, but it still comes together just fine.

The character and world designs are neat and fun, and there is just a bit of character development.

Cons: The main cons of the show is that it will pull out a lot of "That one cool teenage kid" type scenes/stories and have to many cliché type characters, also there are times where 1 out of 10 episodes doesn't develop the story at all and might as well been a 20 minute webisode, don't get me wrong they're still fun but they are disconnected from the plot.

Pros:When the show gets down to it they can develop the story pretty well and have some funny moments thrown in as well, it generally teaches good morals and is an overall fun show to watch, the animation is in the classic NerdCorps style and is quite vibrant and I find it quite enjoyable.

Would I recommend it? Yes and no, if you're picky, you don't like cheesiness and you prefer things to be serious at all times this isn't the show for you. But if you're like me, and you enjoy some silly humor, likes the art style, doesn't mind a fast pace and ideas of the show then this is certainly worth a watch.

This show is amazing in every way. This is suitable for all ages considering even my parents loved this. I first saw this show in 8th grade and kept watching it until the finale! My only complaint is that they didn't release the movie Full Revolution in any English country. The humor is fresh and the action well thought out.The characters are so memorable. The presentation is amazing and I will never forget this show! It was a good break from the dark and edgy Acceleracers. Why does everybody want dramatic story driven plots today? Anyways, this show is awesome and I hope to see it back up again. Unfortunately it was replaced by "Team Hotwheels" (Bad replacement). This show will always hold a place in my heart.

I remembered this show and just found it. Watched it when I was younger and loved it. Had some cool toys too.

... for a good amount of time, actually. One day, I bumped accidentally onto "NASCAR Racers" (which is very similar in its vibe to "Battle Force 5") and then I've thought: "Wait, girl, doesn't it remind you of something?". And the first thing that popped into my head was this show.

So, let's start out with the writting and characters, for a change. I really like the characters and even as a teen, I think the concept of five spunky young humans fighting against a cult of antropomorphic, rogue mutant animals is pretty nice and sounds convincing.

The animation doesn't look bad. It's colourful and bouncy, in a good way. Not an eye-sore like "PJMasks" (I know there's a crowd for this show, but I DON'T belong in that crowd, personally, so don't attack me!). It's relatively smooth and fluid. I really liked that part, too.

I didn't listen to the English dub, but I can tell something about my country's version. It was well-translated, the actors did an exceptionally good job. I really give a credit to the Polish version of show's dub. It's calm and very nice.

The show however, had a small issue to me. There might be some cliché scenes, but that's my only small complaint. Also, it's not a show for everybody. But I'm completely OK with it.

In conclusion, I think that it's one of the better shows, as by Mattel standards. Also, as far as I like it, I'd rather be careful with recommending it to anyone. But if you like it, go ahead & watch it.

With the absence of more reviews, I'll get straight to the point: Battle Force 5 is a great show in all aspects. The Animation and production values are fantastic, great quality, the voice work is good, likable characters, every episode is though out and unique. It appeals to a wide audience, especially considering the general positive and engaging themes of the show.

The show centers around the Battle Force 5 Team, assembled by Sage, a Blue Sentient being from the Multiverse. She was saved by Vert Wheeler, who comes to lead Sage's new group. Although referred to as Battle Force 5, the 5 refers to the Cars and not the team members, as only 5 vehicles can be on a mission at a time. The team travel to different "Battle Zones", where they engage in combat typically with the Sark or Vandals, but in later episodes it's the Red Sentients. As I'm sure you expected, BF5 are a force to be reckoned with. But it is not as predictable as you may think, as each mission requires the critical thinking and expertise of each team member (Usually one in particular must do something challenging or accomplish an amazing feat to help the others), and each challenge to the team is something completely unique.

If you're unsure about this show, just give it one episode and see how you feel. I'd be hard pressed to find something I don't like about BF5, But I'll let you know when I get the new Fused on DVD.

To sum it up, I start practically every morning with a cup of coffee and Battle Force 5. So should you
