Synopsis for "Revved Up"

A hot rodder named Ding-Dong Daddy steals a Titanium alloy briefcase from Robin. He offers to return it to him, but first he must beat him in a street race. Robin races against Ding-Dong on his motorcycle, while Cyborg and Beast Boy take the T-Car. Starfire and Raven are left behind to find their own means of transportation.

Meanwhile, several other villains learn of the race and join in to compete for the chance to win the grand prize. Red X shows up and has a final showdown with Robin. During the race however, Robin saves Red X's life. To pay back the favor, he decides to help Robin win by sabotaging the efforts of all of the other villains.

Trivia

• This episode originally aired in the United States on Saturday, December 10th, 2005.

• This episode is a filler piece and has nothing to do with the greater season subplot involving the Brotherhood of Evil.

• This is the last appearance of Red X in the series. Robin and Red X resolve their rivalry in this episode.

• The contents of Robin's Titanium case are never revealed to the viewer. The case is used in this episode as a plot device to motivate the characters, also known as a MacGuffin. A similar writing convention was used in the movie, Pulp Fiction.

• The character of Ding-Dong Daddy is based upon Ding Dong Daddy Dowd (who in turn is based upon Ed "Big Daddy" Roth). Ding-Dong made one canonical comic book appearance in Teen Titans (Volume 1) #3.

• David Johansen, better known as "Buster Poindexter", provides the voice for Ding-Dong Daddy.

• Starfire assumes the alias of the Amazing Mumgone in this episode. This name is similar to the Amazing Mumbo, a villain exclusive to the Teen Titans animated series.

• Beast Boy transformations for this episode:

• Gorilla
• Horse

• Tamaranian Lexicon:

• Galoofnog: This is the Tamaranian equivilant to saying "God Bless You" after somebody sneezes. Starfire says this to Raven several times throughout the episode, after Raven begins sneezing while in the company of a flock of chickens.
