Guys, check it out!

I've got the latest comic book
of our favorite masked hero --

Truck atomic!

Well, don't lasso and hogtie it
all for yourself, partner.

Pony up
and show it to us.

It was a dark
and stormy night...

[ Thunder crashes ]

Citizens of truckopolis
were scared.

The mysterious master thief,
dr. Pickup, was on the loose.

Where would he strike next?

[ Alarms blaring ]

[ Sirens wail ]

[ Tires screech ]

Suddenly, out of nowhere...

...dr. Pickup never knew
what zapped him!

"My job is to help
and to do good things,

And now my job here is done."

Who had saved the city
from this criminal mastermind?

It was none other
than truck atomic!

All:
♪ dum, dee, dum, dum, dum! ♪

Amigo, truck atomic
is so cool!

When I grow up,
I want to be just like him.

Me too.

Hey, why do I have to wait
to grow up?

Why can't I be like truck atomic
right now?

Chuck, you can't
do that stuff.

You don't have
what it takes.

Why not?
What does it take?

Well, i-i, uh...

Well -- well, for one thing,
you don't even have

A cool costume
like truck atomic does.

You can't be a superhero
without a cool costume.

[ Gasps ] of course!
That's exactly what I need!

[ Tires screech ]

I might need this...

And this...

Oh, yeah -- and this.

And that should do it.

[ Tires screech ]

Whoa! Oh!

Who-a-a-a!

[ All gasp ]

Soku, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Let me help you
with a ladder.

No, stay back.

If you touch me,
I might lose my balance

And fall
into that icky mud.

Hey, what's so bad
about that?

Chuck:
is there a problem?

It is i...

Chuck atomic!

Chuck-a-who?

And just what do you think
you're doing, partner?

My job is to help
and do good things.

So I shall rescue soku!

Hey!

Whoa!

Yikes!

Ew.

No need to thank me.

I'm just doing my job as...

♪ Dum, dee, dum, dum, dum! ♪

...chuck atomic!

But before I leave,
I must do one important thing.

Help me
out of this mud?

[ Tires screech ]

Look, chuck atomic
left his sign.

♪ Dum, dee, dum, dum, dum! ♪

I hope chuck atomic
doesn't stick around too long.

Having our very own
superhero around?

How could that be bad?

Okay, having our own superhero
around has been pretty bad.

I know.

Just the other day,

I was helping his dad
move some parts...

Suddenly,
chuck atomic showed up.

Need some help?

[ Grunts ]

No, wait, chuck atomic.
I don't need that many parts.

Ooh. Aah.

No need to thank me.

Chuck atomic will be here
to help for the long haul!

♪ Dum, dee, dum, dum,
du-m-m-m-m! ♪

[ Tires screech ]

Digger:
iay, caramba!

The same thing
happened to me

When I was making a new dip
for the dirt track.

[ Fanfare plays ]

That should be
all the dirt you need

To fill that hole,
citizen.

[ Handy grunting ]

Handy: me too!

I got my arm stuck
in a cylinder, when...

Aah!

Have no fear --
chuck atomic is here!

[ Grunts ]

It's okay!
I can handle it!

[ Grunts ]

[ Crash! Clatter! ]

My work here is done.

♪ Dum, dee, dum,
dum, du-m-m-m-m! ♪

[ Tires screech ]

[ Clatter! ]

[ Sighs ]

He wants to do
the right thing,

But chuck atomic is causing
more trouble than he's solving.

Well, my clever plan

Is gonna bring back the old
chuck once and for all.

If we give him
too many problems to solve,

Especially boring ones,

He won't want to be
chuck atomic anymore.

Are you sure
it's gonna work?

It better, or else

Chuck atomic will be
helping us out forever.

Anybody here
want that?

No! No!
No! No!

Okay, then.
Everybody, go to your places.

Operation "no more help
from chuck atomic"

Starts right now!

[ Tires screech ]

♪ Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm! ♪

Boomer: help,
chuck atomic! Help!

Uh-oh.

That sounds like
a job for...

♪ Dum, dee, dum, dum, dum! ♪

...chuck atomic!

[ Tires screech ]

[ Engine revs ]

[ Tires squeal ]

How can I help?

I need help
crossing the road.

But why do you need
my help?

I'm nervous that a truck
might zoom by real fast

And bump into me.

Boomer, nobody ever
uses this road.

And this isn't the kind of help
I usually give, but...

[ Ting! ]

Never mind.
Let's go.

Thanks, chuck atomic.

No problem!

Digger:
help, chuck atomic! Help!

Uh-oh. This sounds like
a real emergency!

[ Tires screech ]

[ Tires squeal ]

[ Panting ]
how may I help you?

Uh...

Would you get the door
for me, please?

What?

You're here to help,
right?

I need somebody to help me
with the door.

Thanks.

Rowdy: help,
chuck atomic! Help!

[ Sighs ] I hope
this emergency is serious.

[ Tires screech ]

Can you help me
fill my tires with air?

But...but...

Soku: help,
chuck atomic! Help!

[ Sighs ]

You've got to be
kidding me.

No, you don't have anything
stuck in your grille.

Biggs:
help! Chuck atomic!

He-e-lp!

[ Sighs ]

You need what?!

Remind me how that chuck atomic
music goes, partner?

It sure is purdy.

[ Tires screech ]

Truck: help!

Truck #2: help me!

Oh, dear! Help!

[ Trucks screaming ]

[ Sighs ]
maybe I've had the wrong idea.

Most of these problems don't
need a superhero to fix them.

It seems like
just having a superhero around

Makes everybody
stop helping themselves.

And that doesn't help anybody.

Our plan
seems to be working.

I think
chuck's getting tired.

The last time he made
his chuck atomic sign,

It just ended up
looking like a squiggly.

Good.

The sooner he gets tired
of being chuck atomic,

The sooner
he'll go back to being

Regular, old chuck --
the truck we like.

Okay.

Now let's call
chuck atomic

To help us lift this girder
for our new clubhouse!

Yeah -- he'll think
that's boring.

Whoa!
Watch out!

[ All gasp ]

I'd forgotten how good it felt
to just be me.

Help! Help!
Help! Help!

Those guys.

You can stop now.

I've quit
being chuck atomic

And gone back
to plain old chuck, and --

[ All grunting, groaning ]

Yikes!
This is a real emergency!

Okay, guys.

I'm going to need your help
so that I can help you.

Handy, toss me a line.

Boomer, tie one end
to that girder.

Then the rest of you,
push when I say.

Everybody, push!

[ All grunting ]

[ Tires squealing ]

Yeah! We did it!

[ All cheering ]

Whoo-hoo!
[ Laughing ]

Thanks, chuck atomic.
You saved us for real this time.

No, that was just me --
plain old chuck.

It's a lot more fun to be me
than a superhero.

Well, as long
as you're ready

To lend a helping hand
when we need one,

You'll always be
a superhero to us, partner.

Bumpers up!

All:
friends for the long haul!

Who wants to go play
bumper blitz?

Haulie: if you want to go fast
like your brother rally,

You have to take care
of your insides.

Your mom knows good spark plugs
means good speed.

Anyone can have
snappy spark plugs.

I want to know what really
makes a truck fast.

What makes rally
better than anyone?

Coach: it's because
he wants it more

Than the trucks
he races against, kid.

Coach! Coach!

That's called willpower,

And it's the difference
between a champion truck racer

And everyone else.

Chuck, meet coach.

Coach discovered
and trained rally.

In fact, coach helped
make rally a superstar.

Really?

Oh, that brother of yours --
he has the spirit of a winner.

Wow!

Spirit like a ghost?

I wonder if I have
one of those.

[ Echoing ]
good job, chuck.

You can do it.

[ Tires screech ]

[ Chuckles ]
no, not like a ghost, kid.

The spirit
of a winner means,

Do you have
the stuff inside you

To really
want to be the best?

I do!

It's in there
with my engine!

Can you watch me race?

My dream is to be
a star truck racer,

Just like my brother!

Whoa! Take it easy there,
chuck.

You're a little young
to leave the truck stop

And go racing
like rally.

He was a lot older than
you are now when he left.

Your parents are right,
there, little speedster.

But I'm happy to watch you
take a spin around the track.

Maybe I'll see something I like
and come back in a few years.

You want to
see me race now?

Let me catch up
with your parents first.

I'll meet you at the track
in a little while.

Yes, sir!
I'll go get my spirit ready!

[ Tires screech ]

Yay!

Sorry about the dust,
guys.

The coach who taught rally
is in town,

And he wants to
see me race.

Yee-haw!

Sharpen my horns
and call me pointy!

That's great, partner!

Does this mean you're leaving us
to go race with rally, amigo?

[ Chuckles ] no,
I'm not ready for that yet.

He just wants to see if I have
the spirit of a winner.

Like a ghost?

Nah, soku.

Like, he wants how bad
chuck wants to be the best.

Pretty bad.

Well, whatever we can do,
we'll help.

Thanks, guys.

I can tighten
your every bolt.

I can make you look like
you're in great shape.

I can bring out
your wild side!

Wahoo!

And I can make you
a star.

Those are all great ideas,
guys,

But I wonder if maybe
I should do this on my own.

No way, dude.

All help is good help,

And help from your friends
is the best help of all.

You're right.
Let's get to work.

Bumpers up.

All:
friends for the long haul!

Okay, we got to work
muy fast.

We'll change the track to make
it quicker and more exciting.

What's the job?

We'll add agua --
that's water --

To the straightaways
to make a slick mud.

That'll make you look
as fast as prairie lightning.

Sã­, sã­. We'll make the walls
higher on the turns.

So you can bank up high
and zoom around the turns.

We've got just the tools
for that part.

And, finally, just for fun,
we'll add a couple of jumps.

So you can show off
your style.

That sounds great, guys.
Let's get moving.

Coach will be here soon.

[ Beeping ]

Okay.

[ Laughing ]

Hi, coach.
Hi, dad.

Are you ready?

I was hoping to at least
take a practice run.

Don't worry.
You'll look great.

Ready to show me what you got,
there, chuck?

On your mark...
Get set...

[ Horn blares, whistle blows ]

[ Tires screech ]

Whoa! Whoa-oa-oa!
Whoa!

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Cheering ]

Good practice run,
kid.

Practice run!

Oh. [ Chuckles ]
yeah, practice run.

You spend a little time
working out those trouble spots,

Then I can watch you
race for real.

Come on, guys.

We've got to get this track
back to normal in a hurry.

Thanks for the help,
guys.

Okay, I know I can really
blaze around the track now.

Let me go get coach.

Hold on a second, chuck.

I have another idea.

Uh...i'm not sure
I want to try other ideas.

Trust me,
this is a good one.

We need to give you
a spoiler.

That looks cool.

What's a spoiler, and how
will it make chuck go faster?

It helps air move better
over chuck as he races.

The air won't
slow him down as much.

I thought the air
was slowing me down.

And between my tools and what
we can find in the parts yard,

Making one
will be no trouble.

[ Whirring, clanking ]

Give it a whirl.

[ Tires screeching ]

Fill my tank and call me bubbly,
it works!

He's slicing
through the air!

This is the greatest!

[ Horn blares, whistle blows ]

[ Grunting ]

Uh...chuck looks
a little floaty.

Handy: the wind gets
under his spoiler

And lifts him a little
off the ground.

On any other day,
flying would be a hoot,

But that's not what coach
is looking for.

First time you used
a spoiler, kid?

Yes, sir.

It didn't help me much.

Yeah. Well, I'll give you
one more chance, hmm?

After you take off
that spoiler.

Thank you, sir.

What's wrong, amigo?

You guys have tried hard
to help me,

But nothing's worked.

I've only got
one more chance

To show coach I've got
the spirit of a winner.

Then it's a good thing
we saved our best idea for last.

We did?
Whose idea?

Mine.

[ Whirring, clanking ]

There.

How can coach not think
you have the spirit of a winner

When you look so awesome?

[ Tires screech ]

Whoa!

These decorations
sure are heavy.

[ Grunting ]

[ Clattering ]

Well, chuck,
it was great meeting you, kid,

But I got to roll.

I'll be sure to tell rally
I stopped by.

Coach, sir, I'm really --

Well, how'd you catch up
to me so fast?

Because I am fast.

I was just nervous
about showing you,

And I made
some mistakes.

Okay, well show me
that kind of speed.

No gimmicks,
no tricks, huh?

Just race --
right here, right now.

Really? Yes, sir.

I have a great idea.

This is better than all
the other ideas combined.

I have a great idea,
too.

Guys, thanks for everything
you did,

But I've got to
do this alone.

I appreciate your help,

But I think it's actually
been slowing me down.

Oh.

Sorry, chuck.

We just wanted to help
because you're our friend.

We'll go watch
the race now.

[ Sighs ]

Ready, chuck?

ready.

On your mark...
Get set...

[ Horn blares, whistle blows ]

He doesn't look
very fast.

Something's
definitely wrong.

I wish
he'd let us help.

Well, he can't keep me
from cheering for him.

Go chuck!
Whee!

Go, go, go, go!

[ Cheering ]

Great run, kid!

I thought you had
the winner's spirit in you.

Looks like you might be
a second rally, after all.

No, sir.
He's the first-ever chuck!

[ Laughter ]

You keep practicing, kid.

I'm gonna be back here
in a few years to check on you.

Okay.

So long!

Soku: hey, chuck.

We're sorry we almost messed up
your chances with coach.

You don't need to be
sorry about that.

You were trying
to help me.

And you know what?
You did help.

It was your cheering
that helped me

Find the energy
for such a good run.

Huh?

I didn't know just rooting
for someone could be helping.

There's all kinds
of help, guys,

And wanting to help
is always a great thing.

But you have to pay
really close attention

To make sure you're giving
the right kind of help.

You know,
I could use some help

Cleaning up the dirt track
right now.

Maybe if we all
wear spoilers,

We can get the work done
extra fast.

No! No!
No! No!

Okay, okay.
It was just an idea.
