For a long time this show has intrigued me. I don't know why, probably because I somewhat enjoyed the acme cartoons when I was younger. Seeing the cartoon characters being derived from the original acme cast and slotting them into your atypical action hero cast; Ace the most well rounded and the leader; Lexi the lead female; Danger Duck the goofy and most of the time unhelpful member who has a running gag of being unnoticed; Tech who is great with technology; Slam the illiterate but strongest member; and Rev Runner, the speedy member who doesn't like to waste time.
All of the characters stay true to their roots and their great chemistry shows in this pilot episode. One thing that goes unnoticed in action cartoons that is absent a lot of times in anime is awesome character chemistry, Loonatics Unleashed so far is no exception. What brings this episode down is that as a fifth or sixth episode, this would be a pretty good episode. As a pilot episode it fails to do several things such as allowing us to feel around the shows' universe and get a gist of things. By the episodes end it sort of accomplished that but most of the time it felt like the show was already assuming that I know what is going on.moreless

TRIVIA (12)
ADD TRIVIA-
When the Loonatics were frozen, most of them were trying to support Ace Bunny, who was on the floor. In the next shot however, he is suddenly standing up on the far left.
-
Why are Tech and Rev on the same team? Tech's ancestor, Wile E. Coyote, tried to catch eat Rev's ancestor, Road Runner. The same goes for Slam's ancestor, Taz, who tried to eat Ace and Duck's ancestors, Bugs and Daffy. And yet Rev trusts Tech and Ace and Duck trust Slam? (reply: Whatever their ancestors had with each other, has nothing to do with the Loonatics' relationships. They probably don't even know that fact.)
-
Tech's latest gadget(s): Retro-fire Master Blasters: "Hold it in the palm of your hand, squeeze twice and..." it turns into a huge gun that can melt anything. Hoverbikes: They look like futuristic motorcycles, but wings and rockets help it to fly. Misironic destabilizing gravity disks: Small explosive disks
-
Tom Kenny, known for his role on "Spongebob Squarepants" voices Gunnar in this episode, and one of Gunnar's henchvikings. At one point, the henchviking says, "The bunny is back." This could be referring to an episode of "Spongebob", where Spongebob says, "The squirrel is back." in the same tone.
-
When the vikings where turning the Loonatics to ice they were on the floor but when you see them again they are standing.
-
Tech takes one slice of pizza, but when he shows it to Ace, it's a full pizza (Reply- That piece was shoved in Rev's mouth earlier. After Rev walked away, he tapped the pizza and THEN showed it to Ace.)
-
Tech thinks the cold pizza is from Iceland, but Greenland is the one covered in snow. Iceland is really a forest-covered island.
-
If Rev Runner were to get Pizza from Iceland with no traffic it would take him 4.2 seconds.
-
These are the special abilities and powers the Loonatics have. Ace- Laser Vision and Optical Enhancement. Lexi- Sonic Hearing, Brain Blast and Auditory Amplifier. Danger- Power of orb randomizer and Quantum quack. Spaz- Tornado maximizer and Thunder Mode. Tech- Magnetism activated and Molecular regeneration. Rev- Sonic Speed and Global Positioning.
-
The names Danger Duck tried to change to were: Thunder Duck, Super Dooper Duck, Daredevil Duck, Dancing Duck, Dazzling Duck and the Duckinator. Although Zadavia ends the discussion to change his name, she seems to indicate that "Danger" was the first name he picked. But in the end, all of this seems to be a waste of time, as she and the Loonatics always refers to him as "Duck".
-
Tech invented a new weapon: The Retro Fire Master Blaster, squeeze twice and it becomes a huge blaster.
-
When Tech picked up one of the Ice Vikings helmets it turned red, in the next scene he was holding it and it was blue.

QUOTES (16)
ADD QUOTES-
Tech: (About the pizza) Now that's cold. Where'd you get it? Iceland? Rev: Actually, no. I just picked it up at a pizza joint down town, which I must say is abnormally cold for this time of day. However, if you want a pizza from Iceland, I could get it in exactly 4.2 seconds flat, not counting traffic. (Tech shoves a slice of pizza into Rev's mouth) Tech: That was one of those questions that didn't require an answer.
-
Gunnar: We're here to take over your world. Ace: You know, you frosted flakes might as well go back to where you came from, because this is a "no invasion" zone.
-
Duck: You can't be flabby when you're, "The Duckinator". Ace: Yesterday you were calling youself "Super-duper Duck". Duck: Nah, it wasn't really rolling off the tonuge. Beside, I need a name that will fit on the costume. Ace: How about, uh, Duck? Duck: Very funny.
-
Gunnar: Time to chill out, Bunny!
-
Gunnar: I am Gunnar! Ace: "Gonna" what? Go to the viking convention at the civic centre?
-
Duck: Daredevil Duck thanks you. Lexi: Pick a name already!
-
Duck: I could have busted you out if I had time to think! Ace: We had seconds, not hours!
-
Ace Bunny: Nice move, Tech! That oughta earn you some good vacation time! Tech E. Coyote: Can I have it *now*? Ace Bunny: Let me think - yes, no yes - no.
-
Zodavia: I don't need to tell you what will happen if the temperature keeps dropping. Danger Duck:I knew it. We're goona lose cable again. Zodiavia: Okay ,maybe I do need to tell *you*.
-
Gunnar: We will conquer you world by any means necessary! Ace: No you won't. Gunnar: Yes we will! Ace: No you won't! Gunnar: Yes we will! Ace: Yes you will. Gunnar: No we won't conquer your world! Ace: Have it your way. Gunnar: Ooooh! I will enjoy crushing you rabbit!
-
Ace: You've outdone yourself, Tech. Tech: Say it. I am a genius.
-
Ace: Loonatics, Unite!
-
Gunnar the Conqueror: Let's put this city on ice.
-
Ace: Eh, what's up Zadavia? Definetly not the temperature!
-
Ace: What's up, Doc?
-
Danger: Melting ice is NOT a power! Quacking is a much better power. Observe! (Danger teleports and winds up INSIDE the ice) You can stop observing, now.

ALLUSIONS (11)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Lexi has her ears in a ponytail. The same way as Minamoto Usagi, from the comicbook "Usagi Yojimbo" does.
-
Rev talks alot like Blurr, from Transformers. Both are also speedsters. Also one of Rev's powers is to make a holographic map, much like Optimus Prime.
-
Character: Rev Runner He is the same as Road Runner, because Rev can run at high speed. Rev talks really fast, but Road Runner doesn't; all he ever say is "Beep Beep!"
-
Character: Lexi Bunny She is similar to Lola Bunny, because of her physical attributes and blonde hair.
-
Character: Danger Duck He is similar to Daffy Duck, because of his selfish and arrogant attitude. He's also considered unlucky at some time. Danger shares the same colors as Daffy's, but he doesn't share the similar trademark lisp.
-
Character: Tech E. Coyote Tech's "molecular regeneration" power is a tribute to his ancestor's ability to be crushed, burned, blown up, and mutilated, only to be perfectly fine seconds later. Tech also refers to himself as a genius, something Wile E. Coyote would do frequently on the rare occasions that he spoke.
-
*Ace give battleplan orders* Lexi: "Aye aye Skipper"
-
Character: Slam Tasmanian He speaks unintelligibly and spin really fast like Taz. Slam doesn't talk perfect in human language.
-
Character: Ace Bunny He performs Bugs Bunny's acts, such as saying "What's Up, Doc?", tricking the enemy into saying "No, I won't", and talking like his ancestor.
-
Character: Zadavia As a hologram who gives the Loonatics their missions, she is similar to Zordon from the Power Rangers series.
-
City: Acmetropolis The city's name seems based on the city of Superman, Metropolis. Though the name seems based on the city from Tiny Toon Adventures, Acme Acres
