Porkchop also carried a boat anchor in the rear which he used effectively on a Racing Drones jet. Jack Hammer was lost in the Water Realm after being carried off by a fish.
Jaw Jammer AcceleRacers Metal Maniacs Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Porkchop Riggs
This motorcycle was driven by Porkchop in the Neon Pipeline Realm. Later, it was burned up in an incident involving Sparky and is now in ''Hog Heaven.''
The only motorcycle from AcceleRacers to make it into production was Jaw Jammer. Dropped from the AcceleRacers line, it was renamed to ''Airy 8'' and released in Hot Wheels' 2005 First Editions series.
Old Smokey AcceleRacers Metal Maniacs Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Porkchop Riggs
Porkchop first appears in AcceleRacers: Ignition driving this semi into the Acceledrome. On the flat-bed trailer he's hauling Jack Hammer, Rollin' Thunder and Rivited.
In Breaking Point, the truck has a tanker trailer filled with Nitrox 3 1/2. Monkey has equipped the rig with Nitrox boosters and an EDR for use in the Racing Realms. The new wheels (reverse engineered from the Racing Drones') also have been equipped on the truck - you can spot the red dots on the hubs in a couple of scenes.
Monkey and Porkchop take the rig into the Junk Realm in order to combat the Sweepers threatening their Metal Maniacs teammates. The rig is destroyed, but takes two Sweepers with it. Monkey and Porkchop return via the EDR.
'70 Plymouth Road Runner AcceleRacers Metal Maniacs Vehicle Info Driver:

This World Race car reappears in AcceleRacers with a new paint scheme (large Metal Maniacs symbol over flames on the side), new engine and new interior (including a ''classic'' speedometer).
The car is towed back to our dimension after being wrecked in the Storm Realm and is not to be seen again. Taro drives Rivited from that point on.

Code unlocks: Icon set - Silencerz.
AcceleRacers: Ignition opens with this car attempting to get the Wheel of Power before the Racing Drones take it. The car is shot down at the last second and the Wheel of Power is taken. The driver (Dr. Tezla) manages to escape before RD-L1 can take care of business.
The car reappears in Breaking Point as Dr. Tezla enters the Neon Pipeline Realm to confront the Silencerz.
Something to notice: When a Teku or Metal Maniac car takes a hit from a Racing Drone cannon, the car is blown apart. Nitrium took a hit and stayed intact (though the subsequent fall and thrashing by RD-L1 pretty much finished it off). The car is also equipped with the Emergency Driver Return system.
Anthracite (#3 of 9) AcceleRacers Silencerz Vehicle Info Driver:

▪ Silencerz colors, 6 spokes

Iridium (#4 of 9) AcceleRacers Silencerz Vehicle Info Driver:

▪ 6 Spokes
▪ 5 Spokes
▪ McDonald's Happy Meal variation with interior light
(2006)
▪ Stripped metal series
(2007)
▪ Track Stars Series or 20 packs
First seen in Speed of Silence disguised as a realm car and then as Battle Spec. In Breaking Point, the driver of this vehicle saved Shirako from death at the hands of a Racing Drones MD-01 in the Neon Pipeline Realm. Dr. Tezla arrived on scene at that moment and interrupted the Iridium’s camouflage revealing the actual nature of the car. In order to escape, the car transformed itself into two Magnesium motorcycles with the driver on one of them.
Notice that after Iridium turns into the Magnesium motorcycles, another Iridium vehicle appears in the Neon Pipeline Realm. I don't know if this is a mistake or the Silencerz have the ability to transform their vehicle bodies.
In the Ultimate Race, Iridium is the first Silencerz vehicle seen in the Acceledrome.
Covelight (#6 of 9) AcceleRacers Silencerz Vehicle Info (a.k.a. Covelite and Covellite)
Die cast variations:
(2005)
▪ Silver plastic body, 6 spokes
(2006)
▪ Ultimate Track Pack
▪ Acceleron Series
Code unlocks: Nothing. Supposed to be Desktop background.
First appeared in Speed of Silence disguised as a realm car and then as an RD-02. The next appearance of Covelight is in the Ice Realm where it is disguised as RD-02 and then Chicane. This vehicle appears in both the Neon Pipeline and Junk Realms in Breaking Point. It is Covelight disguised as Battle Spec that Taro knocks off the road in the Junk Realm allowing Kurt to win the race.
Covelight appears in the Cosmic realm and then later in the Acceledrome during the movie The Ultimate Race.
If you look carefully as the Silencerz approach the Mechanized Destroyer (the big metal dinosaur beast) in the Junk Realm, you'll see two Covelights in the formation. I'm not sure if 1) my eyes are playing tricks on me, 2) this is a mistake in the movie or 3) the Silencerz can transform their vehicle bodies. I guess any could be true...
Accelium (#7 of 9) AcceleRacers Silencerz Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Unknown
Die cast variations:
(2005)
▪ Silencerz, 6 spokes
(2006)
▪ Ultimate Track Pack
(2007)
▪ Truckin Transport or 10 packs, Yellow, PR-5
First seen in the opening sequences of Breaking Point, this is the car we see ''grown'' from the chassis up. This vehicle can be seen in both realms in that movie. In the Junk Realm, Accelium is the car that sneaks up on Vert disguised as Battle Spec, drops its disguise, disables Reverb with an electrical discharge and races ahead only to be knocked off the track by a wrecking ball. Accelium escapes destruction by using a variation of the EDR.
As the Silencerz drop their camouflage the first time in the Junk Realm, you can see that there are two Acceliums in the formation.
Technetium (#9 of 9) AcceleRacers Silencerz Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Unknown
Die cast variations:
(2005)
▪ Silencerz
(2007)
▪ Holiday Hot Rods
This vehicle makes its first appearance in Breaking Point. In the Neon Pipeline Realm, Technetium is the vehicle that transforms itself into Chicane when near Taro.
According to the Ignition Virtual Car Gallery, this vehicle has ''Satellite Computer Autopilot Capabilities.''
Magnesium AcceleRacers Silencerz Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Major Wheeler
According to the Ignition Virtual Car Gallery, this motorcycle is powered by a fuel cell and has a ''Pilot Vacuum retention system'' (which sounds like the driver is ''sucked'' onto the seat).
In Breaking Point, Iridium splits itself into two of these motorcycles in order to escape Dr. Tezla. The unmanned Magnesium became a ramming vehicle, while the driver escaped on the other.
The AcceleRacers website (Cartoon Network) lists this vehicle as ''Vectra Magnesium'' (''Vectra'' is the term used in the AcceleRacers card game to indicate some sort of upgrade for Silencerz vehicles).
Slam Ram Hyperpod AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info This hyperpod is packaged with the DVD ''Swamp Attack'' and die cast vehicle. The hyperpod can eject its front wedge by pressing the purple button on the front top.
In the movies, this hyperpod seems to be built into RD-L1's vehicles, RD-08 and RD-05. The hyperpod is capable of clearing obstacles and vehicles as well as eject its front wedge for destruction at a distance.
Variations:
▪ With Whip Creamer II car (not one of the official cars but marked with Racing Drones symbols)
▪ With AcceleRacers RD-06 car
Sweeper AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info This Racing Drone's vehicle is designed to eat cars and dispose of the unwanted parts. Driven by a normal-sized, yet specially designed Racing Drone, it is also capable of deploying several smaller drones (RD-W1s) that luge under opposing vehicles, take control of them and then steer them into the maul of the Sweeper. The lumbering nature of the Sweeper makes it easy to deal with as it cannot stop or turn very quickly. Sweepers have been destroyed in the Metro, Cliffside, Neon Pipeline, Junk, Ruins and Cosmic Realms after enjoying very limited success.
In Breaking Point and later, the Sweepers were also used as a deployment vehicle for the RD-07 motorcycles and their riders, MD-01s.
The Teku and Metal Maniacs capture a Sweeper in the Cosmic Realm in order to get to the Racing Drones' Headquarters and save Markie. Another Sweeper was also captured by the heroes at the end of the Ultimate Race. The use this one to escape the Drones and flee the Acceledrome.
The Sweeper features a front-mounted entrance for vehicles, a control cabin for the operator, an auto-pilot, three holding pens for prisoners and an inside bay for dismantling victim cars. RD-W1s are mounted on the underbody until deployed. RD-07 motorcycles are transported inside and are deployed through the front mouth of the Sweeper.
I am wondering, however, how the Racing Drones are able to get the Sweeper up to 300mph to get it through the portals...
RD-07 AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ MD-01
Features:
▪ Forward mounted mini-cannon
▪ Disposable
Mass produced and first seen in Breaking Point, these vehicles, along with Sweepers, make up the Racing Drone's entire force in that movie. Stored inside the Sweeper, they are deployed when close to enemies.
The mini-cannon on this motocycle doesn't seem to be as powerful as the full version on the cars. Shirako' Nightlife took a hit and though it knocked him off it didn't destroy it.
RD-09 (#9 of 9) AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Gelorum
Die cast variations:
(2005)
▪ Black body, 6 spokes
(2006)
▪ Ultimate Track Pack - white body
▪ Team Colors Series - green body
(2007)
▪ Black, Batman 2-Pack
Code unlocks: Desktop Background - Gelorum
Our first glimpse of RD-09 comes in Tezla's dream at the beginning of The Speed of Silence. Later, in the movie The Ultimate Race, Gelorum uses RD-09 compete in the Ultimate Race against Vert. In order to keep Gelorum from winning, Vert manages to wreck RD-09 with his own car at the end of the race.
RD-08 (#7 of 9) AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ RD-L1
Die cast variations:
(2005)
▪ Flat black plastic body, 6 spokes
(2006)
▪ Accelecharged series, 6 gray spokes
▪ Accelecharged series, 6 clear spokes
This is RD-L1's primary ride up until Speed of Silence. Easily confused with RD-L1's other vehicle (RD-05) you can tell this one by its pointed wheel wells. Despite being replaced later, this one is still one monster SUV with its forward-mounted cannon and deployable slam ram hyperpod built-in. RD-08's body is shared in part with RD-L1.
RD-08 was destroyed in the Swamp Realm. It was also seen driving off the track in the Cavern Realm - it's unclear if the vehicle was recovered or rebuilt before the Lava Realm.
RD-06 (#6 of 9) AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ RD-S1
Features:
▪ Grappling hook
▪ Forward-mounted cannon
▪ Anti-vehicle mines

(2007)
▪ Batman Blaster set
Known errors:
▪ 5 Spokes on back and 6 spokes on front, glossy body
Code unlocks: Desktop Background – RD-S1
Chrome variation code unlocks: Desktop Background - Sweeper
One of the main vehiclea of the Racing Drones fleet, its best feature seems to be its disposability. Additionally, it also appears that it is being phased out in favor of RD-02 during Speed of Silence and after.
The die cast vehicle was originally released as RD-10. Newer cars have RD-06 stamped on the bottom while older ones have nothing stamped in the blank. Older cards are printed RD-10, transition cards have a white RD-06 sticker over the RD-10 and the latest variations have RD-06 printed on the card. Makes you wonder what’s going on over there at Mattel...
RD-05 (#5 of 9) AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ RD-L1
Features:
▪ Forward-mounted cannon
▪ Deployable Slam Ram
Die cast variations:
(2005)
▪ Flat black body, 6 spokes
(2006)
▪ Realm Series (Swamp Realm?), 6 gray spokes
▪ Realm Series (Swamp Realm?), 6 clear spokes
(2007)
▪ Holiday Hot Rods
This is RD-L1's vehicle in Speed of Silence, replacing the older RD-08. Like RD-08, RD-05's major ability is that it can convert itself into the Slam Ram hyperpod.
RD-02 (#2 of 9) AcceleRacers Racing Drones Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ RD-S1
Features:
▪ Forward mounted cannon
▪ Disposable
Die Cast Variations:
(2005)

(2006)
▪ Stripped Metal Series
(2007)
▪ Yellow, Bash Arena Playset or 10 Pack
This vehicle first appears in the Speed of Silence as one of two types of ''soldier'' vehicles (along with RD-06).
Krazy 8s AcceleRacers Dr. Tezla's Team Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Brian Kadeem
Features:
▪ Spiked tires
▪ Parachute
If you look closely in Ignition, you can see that Krazy 8s has retained its Dune Ratz markings from the World Race.
Driven by Brian Kadeem, Krazy 8s is last seen falling off the track in the Storm Realm.
Ballistik AcceleRacers Dr. Tezla's Team Vehicle Info Driver:
▪ Banjee Castillo
Ballistik is seen briefly half-submerged in the Swamp Realm. The scene, as small as it is, is loaded with information. Dr. Tezla has sent drivers here before and he is unwilling to look for Banjee or even tell the other drivers about it.
It's hard to tell, but I think Ballistik still has its old World Race markings.
