Plot[]
Part 1[]
The Teen Titans are relaxing on the couch when suddenly the Crime Alert activates. Dr. Military is planning to steal the ducks from the Jump City Animal Refuge to make a duck army. He tells them that he is/was a veterinarian, and Robin says that vets are not real doctors, with all the other members agreeing. Then Dr. Military says that he took ten years to earn his veterinarian degree and that it's harder to get into vet school than med school and ends the call. Cut to Cyborg driving the T-Car down a road with the others enjoying it. Raven suggests slowing down, but the others disagree. They then crash into a government science building to avoid lightning and end up crashing into a top-secret science experiment that gives them the ability to transform into cars when they get wet.
This special features a different intro like the "Island Adventures" special, the "Super Summer Hero Camp" arc and the “Space House” collab.
Unlike the two special arcs which featured a temporary new song and a differently animated intro, this two-parter has a brief narration with scenes that happened in the story itself.
This special features a slight change in animation style, mostly concerning the back grounds.
Eric J Pringle, an animation director among the crew, is featured on Chip Racerson Jr's canned potato chips' cans as a logo. It can be deemed as an intended joke on the potato chip brand Pringles.
This special released early on October 6th on demand, before airing on Cartoon Network.
This episode is based on the 1980's American animated TV series, Turbo Teen.
This is the last episode to be released on DVD.
Mr. Pringles chips. Geddit?
Continuity[]
Beast Boy didn't transform into any animal in this episode.
References[]
Starfire mentions Donald Duck from the Disney franchise in this episode.
The car forms for the Titans resemble the Hot Wheels Cars that they’re based on.
It is also heavily based on the short-lived 1980's show "Turbo Teen," Brett, the titular Turbo Teen, transforms into a living car when exposed to heat and turns back into human form when touching cold water or ice. He gained this power after crashing his car into a government facility. The transformation sequences in Teen Titans Vroom are exaggerations of the already ridiculous and sometimes grotesque transformation animations used in Turbo Teen.
The episodes also share some similarities to "Challenge of The Go-Bots."
Robin's car form is similar to Lightning McQueen from Disney/Pixar's "Cars" movie franchise.
When the Titans transform into their car versions, a sound can be heard that is very similar to the Transformers G1 (1984) sound effect.
The jingle in this episode is a reference to the Transformers theme. In fact, the whole episode contains some references to Transformers!
Errors[]
Robin is wrong with vets not being real doctors; vets indeed play an important role in saving animals' lives as much as they can...at least for the majority, excluding Dr. Military.
Raven shouldn't worry about not being able to feed the stolen ducks her old bread, as bread is actually junk food for ducks in reality. Although not immediately harmful, bread can fatten ducks, cause malnutrition for ducklings, make them breed too much, make them contract with diseases, attract pests and result in their loss of natural behavior.
It is unknown why Cyborg didn't get short-circuited when he got splashed by water as a way to transform into a car.
Running Gags[]
The Titans all transforming into cars.
The phrase "Turbo Titans Go force!" being said constantly throughout the special as the Titans transform into cars.
The Titans spraying themselves with water to transform themselves back into cars.
