For those who are wondering what the heck I just Posed, Lets go backwards in time to 2003, where a franchise of die cast cars celebrated their 35th birthday where a full-length computer animated movie called Hot Wheels: Highway 35 - World Race . This movie tied into the Highway 35 line of cars that featured 35 classic Hot Wheels cars with special graphics and co-molded wheels. Another celebrating moment in the 35th anniversary was the creation of a full-sized model of the Hot Wheels Highway 35 World Race Deora II shown at the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame event at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California . cut to two years later: the continuation of the movie called Hot Wheels AcceleRacers was created, taking place two years after Vert Wheeler won the World Race. It is featured in four movies and many short segments where the drivers (old ones, gangs, like Teku, Metal Maniacs, the evil Racing Drones, and the stealthy Silencerz). an interesting thing about this series is the fact of the Racing Realms had these symbols that (to my knowlege) NO ONE EVER ATTEMPTED TO DRAW VECTORS OF THEM! ...until today...

using a crockload of cards from the CCG version of Accelracers, I (to the best of my Abilities) decided to trace the symbols and place them up here (and note some look a little wonky, this due to the fact I was working with some photocopied cards for some of these symbols). now what do each of these represent Realm Wise? Look below:

First Row (Left To Right)

Solar Realm: A Realm where the track takes place under a Class G to M Star. Notable Hazards in this Realm are Solar Flares and the Risk of your Tires melting. Accellecharger: Anti-Gravity (Allows a car to manipulate/control gravity)

Chrome Realm: WARNING: OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR! This realm blurs the lines of what's real and what's not in the form of reflections. Hazards include Giant chrome spheres (Hence the name) as well as mirrors that can confuse drivers. Accelecharger: Undisort (Negates the effect of any illusion be it Mirage, Refection, Or Silencerz Camouflage Tech)

Reactor Realm: Taking place in a factory-esq track, Hazards include Toxic spills, Laser Grids, Patrol Machines, and (Being a factory) REALLY LOUD NOISES! Accelecharger: Sound Buffer (Negates Sound waves creating absolute silence in the user's vehicle. also useful for avoiding sound attacks or (in Diesel "Porkchop" Rigg's case) tuning out Shirako Takamoto's music from Bassline)

Canyon Realm: Taking Place on a Track above A Canyon with a ridiculously Deep Chasm, This Realm challenges drivers with shear drops at any point, Accelecharger: Hyper-Jump (Gives the user the ability to make a Perfect Jump every time they catch air off a ramp or some form of)

Blizzard Realm: Taking place in a Constant Snowstorm that puts visibility to Zero, Drivers must be cautious as this Realm can bury cars whole. Accelecharger: Total Traction (Allows user to gain traction on ANY Terrain be it slick, icy, or sand)

Wind Realm: taking place on a swaying track where winds can reach up to ridiculous speeds and Tornadoes reaching F5, Drivers must keep their cool while also dodging Debris coming at them at supersonic speeds. Accelecharger: Wind Shark (Stabilizes the car allowing it to travel even in the strongest of winds)

Monument Realm: Although details can vary, What i think this realm has is the Track takes place in a giant Mayan-esq Pyramid with various twists & turns as well as traps to keep drivers on their toes. Accelecharger: 2D (Makes the car completely flat length-wise allowing the user to slip throw narrow gaps)

Second Row

Micro Realm: Turning the cars to the size of toys, this realm's track takes place in a Giant Room of the average boy of 5 years of age. Hazards include Dust mites the size of a Buffalo as well as nanobots and other things that are tiny to the average human. Accelecharger: Size Scalier (Allows the user to change the vehicle's size from Giant to microscopic)

Desert Realm: A track that takes place across a vast Desert. Hazards include Giant Scorpions, Sandstorms, and A Sphinx for some reason. Accelecharger: Sand Speed (Allows the user to drive on sandy terrain easily)

Warped Realm: In this realm, the laws of physics are thrown out the window as this track takes on the looks of famous surrealists such as Salvador Dalí and M.C. Escher. On the bright side though: When the realm is won, Reality is restored! Accelecharger: Teleport (If you don't know what this one does; then obviously you need to watch more Star Trek, bub)

Fog Realm: This realm takes place on a track where Fog is constant and hides various obstacles & switchbacks. Accelecharger: Fog Vision (Allows a driver to see in the fog...duh!)

Cybergrid Realm: Taking place on a track designs as a Giant circuit board, this Realm features 90 degree turns which tests the driver’s ability to make said turns. Hazards include electric counter measures which can turn a car to Bytes as well as Living computer viruses. Accelecharger: Folding Corners (Allows the user to make those impossible 90 Degree turns ala TRON)

Labyrinth Realm: Like the Mazes of Ancient Greece & Rome, This track takes place in a maze patrolled by a Minotaur. Remembering your path will be key in winning this realm. Accelecharger: Navigator (Gives the car's GPS a more accurate map and pinpoints the car in the right direction all the time)

Row 3

Storm Realm: Taking place on a track tracks that loop and curve around the sides of clouds, as if they were clinging to colossal mountainsides, this Realm is an electrically charged world of flickering lightning and booming thunder...come to think of it, How DID The Accelerons manage to get that track suspended? Accelecharger: Lightning Rod (Protects car from electrical charges)

Swamp Realm: featuring a winding track that curves through and around gigantic jungle trees growing from a fetid swamp below, this realm itself is alive and continuously growing, forcing drivers to constantly choose the best terrain at any given moment all while avoiding Giant worms, giant mosquitoes, and a number of hungry creatures that lurk in the shadows. Accelecharger: Sprout Road (Creates an organic road of vines beneath the car, usable for crossing gaps)

Cavern Realm: This dark and daunting Track features sudden turns and stops, unexpected drops and dips, and sections of track that veer into total darkness as well as falling boulders, Stalagmites/tites and giant bats. Accelecharger: Night Sight (Allows a driver to see in total Darkness)

Lava Realm: Huge flaming boulders, lava eruptions and magma geysers are just some of the dangers that drivers face in this Realm. With flowing lava a constant threat, drivers will need to master tire dexterity if they hope to stay off the sidelines and stay alive. Accelecharger: Impervious Tires (Creates a barrier around the user's tires that always makes them remain in perfect condition)

Water Realm: The track in the Water Realm runs above, on, and below the surface of an ocean. Sections of track that are completely submerged run through translucent tubes. Periods of breaks prevent flooding, but allow cars, sea creatures, and some water to pass through. Ravenous sea creatures wait for unsuspecting drivers in the darkness. Accelecharger: Hydroglide (allows the user to drive on water)

Metro Realm: This track offers a vast night-time cityscape to explore, eerily deserted and dotted with neon signage and streetlights. The interconnecting streets of this bizarre metropolis will force a driver to master the skills of braking, cornering and driving through traffic. Accelecharger: Battering Bubble (Creates a force field around the car which in turn makes it a moving battering ram)

Fourth Row

Cliffside Realm: Drivers will need to navigate hairpin turns while avoiding rock slides, falling trees and large flying vultures if they hope to make it to the end of this Realm. Mastering the art of drifting (which means taking tight turns while minimizing loss of speed) will be essential. Accelecharger: Turn & Burn (Allows the car to take hairpin turns without slowing down)

Ice Realm: With a track made of ice that can crack and collapse at any moment, the Ice Realm presents a chilling challenge for any driver with it being on a glacier. Competitors will need to be good at negotiating slick surfaces if they want to make it to the finish line. Accelecharger: Slip Grip (Gives the car the ability to drive over slippery terrain such as Ice and oil)

Neon Pipeline Realm: a unique Racing Realm that features a track running inside and around the outside of a huge pipeline. Drivers will have to race at all angles (and even upside-down) on their way to a win. Mastering drafting will take them one step closer to success. Accelecharger: Wall Crawl (Allows the car to drive upside down or on walls)

Junk Realm: a Racing Realm that will take drivers through a junkyard filled with scrap metal and rusty old cars (Which Monkey calls Beautiful). There’s also a problem with piles of debris on the road, magnetized lifters, compactors, Piles of junk crash down on the track, threatening to crush drivers underneath, wrecking balls, and a big metal fire-breathing dinosaur known as the Mechanized Destroyer. Accelecharger: Frictionless (Creates a frictionless bubble around the car)

Ruins Realm: a Racing Realm with an atmosphere that evokes an element of Easter Island and Stonehenge. The Ruins Realm is peppered with colossal statues and stone buildings. With an ancient marble track that threatens to collapse at any time, 4-headed stone creature, and collapsing pillars, drivers must hone their skills if they want to win. Accelecharger: Phantom Form (Allows car to pass through objects)

Cosmic Realm: a Racing Realm that features a track composed of colorful planetary rings that lie suspended in space. Meteor showers and black holes are just a few of the hazards that this realm contains. This realm is designed to test a driver's skill in high-speed control since the low-gravity environment requires the driver to produce as much downforce as possible in order to avoid floating off the track. Accelecharger: Light Speed (Allows the car to travel at light speed...which is weird since some sources say the Solar Realm AC is this Realm's AC Ability...wouldn't The SOLAR REALM HAVE LIGHT SPEED?!)
