Please check out the other AcceleRacers pages listed by relevancy
The AcceleRacers series debuted in 2005 alongside a film series of the same name and was commonly available across the US, Canada, and Europe. It consisted of four subsets (Teku, Metal Maniacs, Racing Drones, and Silencerz) of nine models coinciding with the teams shown in the films. Vehicles of this lineup were designed with ‘track performance’ in mind and were uniquely proportioned to have a low center of gravity. Each single pack release had a ribbed blister to obscure a six digit code on base of the casting. Codes were able to be entered on the Cartoon Network website to access exclusive wallpapers and other digital movie content. Some plastic-bodied variants of this series were painted with a special anodized aluminium coat, giving them a unique metallic finish.
Four motorcycles were initially planned to have debuted under each subset (Nightlife, Jaw Jammer, RD-07, Magnesium), making 40 models total (10 castings for each sub-series), but went unreleased due to the aforementioned focus on track performance. This 2004 developmental change is reflected in the Toy # and Col. # sections displayed below. Two of these AcceleRacers motorcycle concepts, Airy 8 (formerly Jaw Jammer) and Hammer Sled (rejected in favour of Magnesium), were later released in the 2005 and 2006 mainline lineups due to being Design Team favorites.

Patents[]
Several patent images and descriptions[1] [2] were registered in late 2004 through 2005 that depicted several key elements and omitted features from the series design process. Multiple parts of the Racing Drones subseries blister cards were planned to have been partially encrypted in a specialised 'coded language' that corresponded with characters from the English alphabet.
Comic Con[]
Several action figure prototypes were unveiled at the Hot Wheels booth during the San Diego Comic Con event on 14 July 2005 to 17 July 2005 (exhibit lot #3029, booth number #3445).
These action figures would have been released in late 2006 through 2007, but plans were cancelled due to a combination of poor product sales, marketing, and failure to keep up with competing brands. Figures of this unreleased lineup would have included various accessories that were compatible with vehicles of the same scale.
