Art Evolution: The animation has improved slightly post-Season 1, for example Blaze's face is more realistic and fluid, and the backgrounds have better lighting and shading."Monster Machine Christmas" has "Everyone should feel special on Christmas."."Race to the Top of the World" has two, "Keep on rolling" and "Top of the world".Anti-Villain: Pickle, who's shown to be more on the side of Blaze and friends than on Crusher's side.

Even the fire that ignites from Blaze's boosters before he activates his Blazing Speed has gotten a whole lot more realistic compare it in Season 1 when it was just a simple ring to the Art Evolution where it now extends outward like a real fire torch and even pulses.Season 5 takes this even further by having the water realistically push up against Blaze when he becomes an icebreaker ship and splash much more fluidly, and having a more realistic atmosphere for the first time in "Abra-Ka-Pickle!" by giving a purplish hue on the sky for a late afternoon and the trees becoming multicolored to show it's Fall. And now that Season 4 has come, the show has started using splitscreens and rather trippy backdrops in music segments.The trucks now have visible wear and tear on their tires and are animated with ray tracing so they reflect their environments. Come the mid-season 3 Art Evolution, the show's art style has become more realistic, specifically the jungles and forests have improved foliage, the streets have visible asphalt, and buildings are no longer a 2D image in distant shots.His transformations also improve in detail over each season. Notice in Season 2 Blaze's mouth is smaller, less stretched and curvy, like how it looks in an anime show, and his paintwork is a more luminous red rather than its original dull red-orange. Animation has improved over the course of the show, and seems to get better with each new season.The trucks' faces also feature large eyes and their mouths tend to expand when shouting, like in an anime show. Animesque: Although the animation is CGI, it does borrow a few anime elements, especially after the Art Evolution and the use of Speed Stripes since Season 4.Animal Mecha: Stripes, a tiger-like monster truck.And I Must Scream: Almost happened to the Monster Machines in "Robots in Space" while racing through a collapsing wormhole and almost got trapped inside.Out of all the animals in the Great Forest in "The Flying Lion", only the panda was referred to with gender-related pronouns as male.While the monkey and elephant that help AJ in "AJ to the Rescue" were male, the firefly was never referred to with gender-related pronouns, and even had ambiguous-sounding vocal effects.The only exception is Chompy, the red t-rex, who was called female by Blaze. None of them were referred to with gender-related pronouns, which led to confusion over what their genders are. The three baby t-rexes in "T-Rex Trouble" had rather ambiguous-looking faces.Always Someone Better/ Always Second Best: Crusher is this compared to Blaze.Affectionate Nickname: Crusher's grandmother Grammy calls him "Crushy".We also have Watts, which are derived from electrical circuit unit.
