Back to list of episodes

"Revved Up" is the sixty-first episode of the Teen Titans series and the ninth episode of Season 5.

Synopsis

When Ding Dong Daddy steals a briefcase containing Robin's most prized possession, the Titans will have to win a road race against him to get it back. But he's not the only one interested in the "prize" as pretty soon the villain Red X appears and soon a whole squad of villains join the race. Will Robin be able to win it back? Will Titans learn the secret of the briefcase? But the bigger question is.. Who will cross the finish line first?

Plot

On a lonely desert road, the Titans face the hot rod-riding Ding Dong Daddy, who has just committed a theft. Ding Dong Daddy, however, boldly challenges the Titans to a road race, with the object of his heist as his prize - and the prize is none other than a special suitcase which contains Robin's most intimate secret!

The Titans accept the challenge, and thus begins a race of chaotic proportions, more so because due to circumstances the Titans are split up, each respective group running into their own set of difficulties:

  • Robin races after Ding Dong Daddy on his R-Cycle, but gets unexpected and fierce competition by none other than Red X, who seeks to snatch the case and sell it to the highest bidder.
  • Starfire and Raven, prevented from flying by one of Ding Dong Daddy's weapons, desperately seek a wheeled transportation. After incautiously informing Gizmo about the race (who in turn loses no time telling a lot of other baddies about it), they manage to hijack a kit-bashed rocket-booster bus from a bunch of would-be villains.
  • Cyborg and Beast Boy, riding the T-Car, have to contend with Ding Dong Daddy's Gremlin Crew driving a rolling pit-stop, who use every chance they can get to try and dismantle the T-Car and Cyborg himself!
