Oh yeah! Turbo Teen!
I can’t remember (surprise) exactly how it came up, but yesterday while waiting for a meeting with some other people, I found myself saying: “Hey, remember that cartoon in the 80’s where that kid could transform into a red corvette?” Of course, someone starting singing “Little Red Corvette” while another person said: “You mean Transformers?” Surprisingly, though, someone else blurted out “Oh yeah! Turbo Teen!” Yeah, Turbo Teen!
It started to come back to me. So, this morning I did a quick Googling only to find that a lot of people with better memories than me were still talking about this rediculous 80′ cartoon that only ran for one year. I distinctly remember that my older brother hated it and would do his best to get me to change the channel, but really there was nothing else on… just Turbo Teen.
The premise goes like this:
Brett Matthews was just an ordinary teenager with a hot sports car until one stormy night, an accident caused him to crash into a laboratory where scientists were testing a fusion ray. Brett and his car were hit by a beam and as a result, the two merged into one. Though Brett still appeared normal, whenever he was exposed to heat, he would change into car form as he has now become the revved-up Turbo Teen.
Don’t forget the opening to Turbo Teen.
