[horn blares]

I can't believe Professor Rearview

and Cruise won the Ultimate Garage

and kicked us all out!
At least we have Big T as a base.

I know it's not the same

as the Ultimate Garage,


but when a plan doesn't work

the way you want,


you have to change course

and try something different!


Hello, campers!


Professor Rearview here.


As the new owner of the Ultimate Garage,


I'm so excited to say,


I won, you lost! Ha-ha!

[laughing]

Now it's time to torment this town

with the things you love the most.

Cars!
How about that for a twist?
[fast electronic music playing]
It's launch time, baby!
[electronic music continues]
[electronic music continues]
[engines revving]

And thanks to the Track Builder's

virtual steering wheel,

I can drive all the vehicles
in the Ultimate Garage from here.

Rearview out!


Let's see what these cars can really do
.

Hot Wheel Powers, activate!
[citizens clamoring]
[clamoring]
I know, I know, I normally hate cars,
but using them in an evil way is fun.
[laughing]

Ah! Rearview can use the cars' powers

to destroy the city!

Then we'll just have to stop them.
But how?

By winning the Ultimate Garage,

Rearview has all the cars.

There's nothing for us to drive.
[gasps]
Oh, yes, there is!
[upbeat music playing]
[Dash] This is a great idea, Mac.

If you racers round up

Professor Rearview's cars,

I can use Big T to gobble them up.
Once they're inside Big T,

they'll power down

and Rearview can't use them anymore.

[all] Challenge accepted! Let's race!
[cackling]
The racers think they can stop me?
Ooh, that's funny. Not!
Dad, you never told me
the Ultimate Garage was so cool!
There's a test track,

race car beds, and, like,

a billion boxes of blueberry waffles!

Uh, glad you're having fun, Cruise,

but Daddy's busy

trying to terrorize the city.


About that. Maybe we don't have to destroy

the Ultimate Garage.

Maybe we can live here all the time.
Huh? [laughs] Good one.
You had me fooled for a sec.

Now eat your brekkies

while I try to crush these campers.


We've gotta hurry and stop these cars

before Rearview can do more damage!


Let's form a circle

so we can block the cars in.

On it!
[Brights] Me too.
[Sidecar] Me three.

Keep going! We almost have

the Professor's cars surrounded.

[overlapping chatter]
Huh?
Okay, Dash. We're in position.

That means it's time for Big T.

[Coop] Go, Big T!
[Brights] Yes!
All right, we got 'em!
The cars are powering down.
[exclaims] I've lost control of the cars!
Aw, Dad!
Oh, I'm sorry.
[gasps] Guess you'll have to give up now.

Nonsense! I have more

where that came from.


This place is called

the Ultimate Garage for a reason.

Whoa! I can see why.
It's awesome.

Now stand back, sweetie.

I'm picking new cars

so I can continue crushing the city.
'Kay, thanks.
[fast electronic music playing]
Wow! So many great options!
It's hard to pick just one.
So I won't!
I choose this one, and this one.
Ooh! And all of these too.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Go, go, go!
Destroy! Destroy!
There's six more cars coming.
We can handle them.
[all whooping and cheering]

The Duck N' Roll's

Quack Light is so bright.

Good thing I brought some shades.
[tires screeching]
Ahh!
Ohh!

[laughs defiantly]

It is not trash day today.

There's nowhere to go.
[tires screeching]
Oh, you can't catch me.

'Cause I've been training

at the Ultimate Garage.

And now you're gonna get eaten.

-Oh, yeah!

-Woo-hoo-hoo!

Yes!
We stopped them, but we're not done yet!
Rearview has more cars we need to catch!
Let's roll!
[dramatic music playing]
[Coop] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[fast electronic music playing]
Ohh...
[fast music continues]
[engines chugging]
[Professor Rearview yelling]
Ooh!

Okay, Dad. You've used, like,

every car in this place.


Why not take a break from being bad

and have a waffle with me?

Hm, let me think.
Nah. I have more cars left.
I choose all the cars.
[Spark] These are the last cars.

If we catch them,

Rearview will be all out.

Then there's only one thing to do.

Take a well-earned snack break?

These tacos smell good.
[chuckles] No, Mac.

Let's get the cars

to chase us into the tunnel.


They'll be trapped in there,

and Big T can easily eat them up.


-Let's do it.

-Great plan.


-Yeah.

-Super smart.

[all whooping and cheering]
Hey, there.

Bet you can't catch us.

[grumbles]
[engines revving]
[all whooping and cheering]
[Spark] Yes! The cars followed us in.
We're all set, Dash.
Time for Big T's big entrance.
[Dash] Here we come.
[roars]
Oh, no. Big T's too big.
It won't fit in the tunnel.

[Mac] Uh-oh. We didn't trap the cars,

they trapped us!


Ah! That plan didn't work

the way we wanted.

[engines revving]

Then we have to change course

and try something different.


If Big T can't come to the cars,

let's send the cars to Big T.

Condiment Cannon, activate!
[Brights] Way to go, Coop.
The car's are stuck in the sauce.

[laughs] They're just

spinning their wheels.

Literally.
[Coop] Now's our chance.
Let's give 'em everything we've got,
and knock them into Big T's mouth.
[all] Condiment Cannon, activate!
[all] Go, Hot Wheels!
[rock music playing]
It's working!
And it's tasty! Mmm.
[Spark] Just a few cars left.
Keep going.
Ha! We did it! We stopped the cars.
And we stopped Rearview.
[all] Yes!
[Professor Rearview] No!

I can't believe

they got back all the cars.

I know. Yes!

I mean-- [in fake sincere voice]

I know. Grr! Bad racers.

Well, if they won't let me have my fun,

then it's time to destroy

the Ultimate Garage once and for all!


-[laughing maniacally]

-Oh, no.


[Speedy Getaway]
It's a car,

it's a wrench.


And it's coming up next!


[all]
I choose the Tooligan!


♪ Let's race! ♪


-[horn blaring]

-[all cheering]


[laughs]
Take that, Professor Rearview.


We just stopped your out-of-control cars

and saved the city.


Yes, yes. Well, you can also

stop cheering!


Because I still have control

of the Ultimate Garage.


Behold.


I'm turning on the Ultimate Garage's

self-destruct timer.

[laughs]

-[Squeakers vrooms]

-Huh? [gasps]

[electrical crackling]

[automated voice]

Self-destruct mode activated.

When the timer runs out,
this place will go kablooey!
Or kaboom.

I'm not really sure

what exploding sound it'll make,


but the Ultimate Garage will be no more!


-[laughs maniacally]

-[all gasp]


And Cruise...


I couldn't have done this without you.


Thanks for making your dad's

evil dreams come true.


Mwah.


Ah! I don't want the Ultimate Garage

to go kablooey!

We won't let it, Mac.

There has to be a way to stop

the Ultimate Garage from being destroyed.

There is, Spark.

If we can reach the battery

in the Ultimate Garage's basement,


we can unplug it

and stop the self-destruct timer.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let's grab some new wheels

and save the Ultimate Garage.

[all] Challenge accepted!
[fast electronic music playing]
I choose the Tooligan!
I choose the Power Surge.
I choose the Rip Rod!
I choose the Buns of Steel!
I choose the Hi-Roller!
I choose the Donut dr*fter!

♪ Hot Wheels! Let's race! ♪

Uh, Dad?
The racers are coming.

Of course, they are, Cruise,

of course, they are. But never fear.


I have a plan to stop them

from stopping me.

Activating the Track Builder.

I'll add a little of this.

Oh! A lot of that.

A tricky turn or two and... [laughs]
I am loving this!
Oh, yeah. We're having a blast.
Track Builder. Go!
[engine roaring]
[gasps]
[Sidecar] Oh. That is one tough track.

And we have to unplug

the Ultimate Garage's battery

before the timer runs out.
Then we better floor it.

-[engines revving]

-[Coop] Oh, yeah!

Take this tight turn.
Now spin through this spiral.
[all whooping]
Hit this jump.
[all] Woo-hoo!
Let's see how well you racers do
when I turn up the difficulty.
[gasps] Dad!
Oh, yeah! We got this, racers.
That robo-spider seems to disagree.
No spider is slowing us down.
Sweet Spin, activate!
[powers up]
[laughs] Uh-uh, uh-uh!
Everyone follow Sidecar.
We'll drift behind him.
[all cheering]

-Yes! Way to go, racers.

-[Squeakers vrooms]

With these moves, we can't be stopped.
[powers down]
[Dash] Or maybe we can.
[all] Dash!

Ah! The spider's webs

have me stuck to the track.


And it'll take time for Big T

to break free.

Go. Unplug the battery.
Squeakers and I will catch up later.
You can count on us, Dash.
See you, robo-spider!
But hello, robo-scorpion!
Look out!
[Coop] Whoa!

-[Mac] Whoa!

-[Spark] Whoa!

[Brights] Ooh!
Ah! It's got me!
Sidecar!
No! Keep going! I believe in you guys!
Especially you, Axle.

Thanks, Sidecar!

I especially believe in me, too.

But I'm not leaving you behind.
Rolling Thunder, activate!
[powers up]
Oh, yeah, I'm free!
Thanks, Axle.
Now let's go save the Ultimate Garage.
[tires screech]

-Woo-hoo!

-Hey, hey, hey.


If I'm gonna stop these racers,

I need to up the difficulty.

But Dad, that's the hardest level.
I know!
[laughing maniacally]

Boy! Do I love seeing

the Ultimate Garage. Huh?


But I do not love seeing

that car-crushing cobra.

[hissing]
How can we get past it?
There's no ramp to jump through its mouth.

[chuckles] Ramps? Where we're going,

we don't need ramps.

French Fry Blast, activate!
[powers up]
[all whooping and cheering]

We made it past the cobra,

but we need to speed up.


The Ultimate Garage

will self-destruct soon.

[Axle] We'll never make it.

Rearview's obstacles

keep slowing all of us down.

All of us? Wait! I have an idea.
[engines roaring]

Whoa! I can't believe the racers

got past all your obstacles.


And what are they doing now?

What are they doing now?


Time to burn some rubber

with the Rip Rod's smoke screen!

[Professor Rearview] I-- I can't see them.
They're splitting up.
[suspenseful music]
There's Mac, Spark,
Axle, Sidecar, Brights. And Coop.

[gasps] He's almost

at the Ultimate Garage.

[fast electronic music playing]
Yes. The plan worked.
I'm almost inside.

-[gasps]

-[tires screeching]

The keyword is "almost."
'Cause I'm not letting you get past me.

Coop, you need to hurry.

We're running out of time.

[Coop] Cruise! Please move.
If your dad destroys the Ultimate Garage,
there won't be any racing for anyone.

Including you

and that would be a real shame.


'Cause you're

one of the best racers I know.

Wait, really?
You think I'm a good racer?
The whole city does, Cruise.
Why would you wanna give it up?
You're right.
I don't wanna stop racing. I love it.
Go, Coop. Save the Ultimate Garage.
[fast electronic music playing]
Guys, I'm in the basement.
[Mac] Dude! Time's almost up!
The Ultimate Garage is gonna go kablooey!
I see the battery! Heading over there now.
[electrical crackling]

Ooh, it's too late, Coop.


You'll never unplug that battery in time.


Wait...


Why do you have that determined look

on your face


like you're about to save the day?


-Because I am.

-Huh?

[tires screeching]
Professor Rearview,
it's time to throw a wrench in your plans.
Literally.
Power Wrench, activate!
Go, Hot Wheels!
[fast electronic music playing]
[triumphant music playing]

[automated voice]

Self-destruct mode deactivated.


Thank you. Have a nice day.

[all cheering]

You did it, dude!

No! No! It's not fair!
You racers ruined all my fun!
[rants and raves]
[sobbing]
Cry all you want, Professor.
But we'll never stop stopping you.
Yeah! Never ever, ever!

-Unless...

-[grunts]

What if we had one more race?

Whoever wins

gets to keep the Ultimate Garage.

[laughs] Why would I say yes to that?
I already won the Ultimate Garage!
Uh, technically, Cruise won.

But-- But I-- I-- I taught her

everything she knows!

[gasps]
[grumbles] Fine!
I'll prove I'm the best racer

in one last, winner-take-all,

super epic race

for control of the Ultimate Garage!
Uh, what do you say?
We say...
[all] Challenge accepted!

[Speedy Getaway]
It jumps, it stunts,


and it's coming up next.


[all]
I choose the Baja Jump Truck!
