Turbo Teen

I still think the idea of the show was really cool, but the show itself was kinda goofy.

I mean, if you think about it...why would he have to get hot or cold to transform? If he had become fused or one with the car, then he should have been able to transform at-will.

The poor guy would never have kids, never be able to take a hot shower, so many things. ha ha

I know people probably think I'm crazy, but I still think this would be awesome in real life. Not that it's possible anyway.

You'd never have to worry about $3 gas again!

As someone who idetinifys as a car this really speaks to me on a personal level. I almost feel as if this show was made for me and im ashamed that i wasnt born when this show had aired. I cant explain just how much the main character and i relate were basically the same person as i also idenoty as a red car and seeing this person able to be who he is by turning into a car moves me to tears frequently. 10/10.

This show was a part of the 80's car revolution. It was about a teenager who would turn into a red sports car whenever he got hot. He could get hot from the temperature or even if he ate something hot. His feet and hands would become the tires, his eyes the headlights and so on. I actually think he was a convertible. He would turn back to a teen when he cooled back down, and that could happen due to the temperature or water.

LOL He was like a human transformer. I use to watch it like most 80's cartoons. This was kind of corny,but for some reason I remember it. Nothing else to say.

Just like "mckeown" who posted previously, nobody I know seemed to remember this show. They thought I was on something and imagined it all. It didn't help that I couldn't remember the name. I was thinking it was called Teen Machine. Finally, I recently found some info about it online. That gave me the proper title and proof to show people that I wasn't crazy. The show was fun to watch when I was a kid. I was 6 or 7 when it aired. Looking back on it though, it was weird and kind of creepy for a few reasons. Like some of the other posters have already stated. I think the creators are the one's who must have been on something ! Still, I loved the old 80's cartoons. Actually I love almost anything 80's. I've been in a real nostalgic mood lately. It's good to see that I'm not the only one.

Thanks to the Transformers movie, '80s nostalgia seems to be the rage. The other day, my friends and I were reminiscing about the favorite cartoons we had watched as kids: most remembered, of course, Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc. and to a lesser extent Pole Position and whatnot. However, I distinctly remembered a cartoon about a boy that turned into a red convertible when he got hot and back into a teen when he got cold. When I was a kid, I though it was the coolest idea ever! When I would step into the shower, I would think about what it would be like if I could turn into a car. Well, anyhow, when I told my friends about the cartoon, they thought I was crazy, especially since I couldn't remember the name of the show. I decided to put the internet to work and behold! IMDb has proved me sane! Thanks all!
