Turbo Hot Stalkeye Colonel Theodore "Theo" is the overall main protagonist of the Turbo franchise. He is a snail who dreams of being the fastest racer in the entire world. Due to his passion for speed, he is somewhat an outsider in his community. Everything changed when he gained superspeed in a freak accident. The ultimate underdog, Turbo will stop at nothing to chase a dream.

Appearance[]

Turbo is an orange, slender snail with blue eyes and wears a specially designed shell, bearing the resemblance of a race truck, with the number "5" on it.

Personality[]

Turbo is a garden snail who dreams of being the fastest, best racer in the entire world. He seems to have an obsession with speed, which embarrasses his older brother Chet. Due to his passion with speed, he is somewhat an outsider in the slow and cautious snail community. Later on, he gains extreme mobility after a tuner ingests him and infuses him with nitrous oxide, prompting him to eventually embark on an extraordinary journey to achieve the impossible; Racing in the Indy 500.

History[]

Turbo (film)[]

Turbo: F.A.S.T.[]

Crazy Fast[]

Following the events of the film, Turbo became a world famous snail racer. He and Tito return to Dos Bros after a long tour, where they are chided and heckled by Kim Ly for not bringing her along. After Tito calms Kim Ly down with a candy bar (which he got from the airport), Tito introduces Turbo to his new home- the handmade, snail sized, and shimmering Starlight City.

Relationships[]

The FAST Crew generally[]

Chet[]

Chet is Turbo's overprotective but caring brother. Despite his reluctance to let Turbo go ahead with his "crazy" dreams, he is always the first one to defend his brother should anyone disrespect him.

Whiplash[]

Whiplash acts as Turbo's mentor. He is a no-nonsense, serious snail, which can often come off as abrasive to his teammates. These misconceptions often lead to him hurting their feelings and having to put aside his stubbornness to apologize.

Burn[]

Burn is the sassy one of the group, and a love interest for Chet. She is strong and independent, her quick mouth and even quicker attitude often acting before her brain does and getting her in trouble.

Smoove Move[]

Smoove Move is a laid-back, relaxed snail, mostly caring about music and his "vibes". Despite his calm, sometimes even stoic attitude, he cares deeply for his friends and always helps them when they're stressed.

Skidmark[]

Skidmark is a jumpy, conspiracy-obsessed snail, who is suspicious of everyone and everything. Despite this, he is also a very talented inventor, engineering most of the technology the snails use to race.

White Shadow[]

White Shadow is large, loud, and dumb, but he's a well-meaning snail with a heart of gold who cares deeply about his friends. He mainly serves as comic relief throughout the movie, though he does get more development in Turbo F.A.S.T.

Enemies[]

Throughout the series and movie, Turbo has made several enemies, including Count Tickula, Breakneck (Whiplash's former mentor), Ace Gecko, and even his former idol Guy Gagne.

Powers and Abilities[]

He was a normal snail until he was flung into the top-mounted engine of a Camaro. When the driver of the car activated the car's nitro boost, the chamber Turbo wound up in was flooded with nitrous oxide, which granted him the speed he had always dreamed of, as well as many other car-like attributes.

Powers[]

  • Automobile Mutation: Theo's genetic structure mutated from nitrous oxide. He was gifted with super speed a few traits of an automobile, such as eye lights, a car alarm in his shell, tail lights and receiving radio music. In Hardluck Hardcase, it is revealed that he has a horn. If his shell is damaged, he will lose these attributes until it heals.
    • Super Speed: As a result of his genetic structure mutated from nitrous oxide, Turbo can accelerate to high speeds that can actually surpass most race cars.
    • Headlight Eyes: Another of Turbo’s automobile mutation abilities is his headlight eyes. He can make his eyes light up so he can see in the dark.

Trivia[]

  • Turbo is very much like Tito, as both dream of the impossible, frustrating their brothers.
  • A running gag in the show is his headlight eyes flashing when he has an idea.
  • He also has a great attitude, seen when Chet tells him "What if you wake up one day and your powers are gone?". He replies in saying "I'll have to make the most of today." This is also noticed in "Ace of race" where he states that he is "Too darn positive!"
  • Theo is voiced by Ryan Reynolds, who also did the voice of Guy who was the love interest of Eep from Dreamworks' The Croods, released in 2013- the same year as Turbo!
  • In Wreck-it Ralph, the villain, Turbo, is a racer and has the same name as Theo.
  • The car that Theo got the nitrous oxide from that made him fast is a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro.
  • When showing the audience his speed, his record was 226 mph, which was “fast enough to qualify”, as said by Whiplash, and almost broke Guy Gagné's record of 230 mph.
  • When Turbo is going fast, he leaves a neon-blue trail whenever he goes.
  • His trash talk is always really complicated, which is noted frequently by Whiplash.
  • When it comes to plans, he almost always involves fake mustaches, which annoys the rest of the F.A.S.T crew.
  • He has a horn similar to the Road Runner's from Looney Tunes.
