Heroes
Hot Rod: A dog-car, and the main character of the series. He was on his way to camp when he was captured by The Crusher's forces. He managed to escape and join the resistance movement. He has an attraction to his best friend, Carbs. He was upgraded by the mechanic Gus (see below), gaining larger tires, a cog-firing weapon, and the ability to fly (But only when he needs them). Gus later built an external weaons pack for Hot Rod, equipped with long-range armaments. Both Gus and The Crusher hinted that there was something "special" about Hot Rod, but it was never elaborated on.
Carbs (Short for "Carburetta"): A cat-car, and Hot Rod's best friend. They first met when they were captured by The Crusher's forces. She seems to share the attraction between Hot Rod and herself. She too was upgraded by Gus, gaining high-intensity headlights, tire claws, and an extendable tail. Her sister, Spare Parts, later built her a weapons pack, similar to Hot Rod's.
Dog-Gone: An old and wily dog-car. He often provides reason and wisdom for the group, when he isn't keeping his friend Benz from falling apart.
Benz: A dog-car, and Dog-Gone's best friend. In major disrepair, "Benji" is always falling apart.
Gus: A dog-car, and legendary mechanic. He was the one who built The Crusher, and exiled himself when his creation went out of control. He later outfitted Hot Rod and Carbs with weaponry, to better combat The Crusher's forces.
