We would really be abandoning the racing for the mecha/transformers action between humans and drones?

That would be f*cking stupid and boring. Even worst if they entered "battle realms" like in Battle Force 5 to fight there. These movies always had a lot of human element to make it as atemporal as it is, ignoring it (that's a assumption of mine) to focus on these ridiculous humans in robots fight would take from the grounded aspect.

I personally don't think the answer for a revival is moving forward, but going back to "simpler" times. The rivalry between the racing teams before meeting Tesla, the small team that entered the first racing realms and ended up diyng or lost in them and then we can think about a 5th movie with racing as the focus.

If we don't see Lucifero and Asta flying, him invoking a meteor, splitting the Earth, then what are we doing?

If some humans were brought to the underwater temple and being around the pillars protected by the generals to survive the flood. The fights against them would bring some new complexity, not only some would want to protect the generals or even argue with the bronze saints that the world didn't deserve to be saved.

Obviously it makes sense that Poseidon didn't spare one single human besides his soldiers. Since he did with Noah and still the world became what it is. But I think it would give more live to the underwater temple if there was others besides his soldiers.

So much potential to see these crazy realms in new movies and story. How can Mattel not see the potential in a Hot Wheels Acceleracers revival?

Even if they don't want to alienate the audience with so much lore, they could make a first movie with street racing before Tone's death. Introduce the multiple racing teams before going into the realms.

I always assumed the Metal Maniacs and Teku were the only ones crazy enough teams to continue the racing after Tone's death, that definetly should've attracted law enforcement and made difficult and scary for the rest of normal people to continue. There's so much story to tell.

The Frog Realm is also a interesting concept for some stories. Seeing the guys before the Teku and Maniacs that died. Not everyone needs plot armor, these realms would definetly take the lifes of 90% from those who enters.

He probably had to become imune by inhaling and biting a demon rose since the beginning of his training, since he was gonna be around their poison all the time. It's a nice touch by Kurumada.
