Motorcity - The Burners

Check out this sweet video introducing The Burners!

Motorcity Factoids!

Roth is The Burners helper. His name is taken from "Big Daddy" Ed Roth (March 4, 1932 – April 4, 2001) was an artist, cartoonist, custom car painter, and pinstriper who created the hot-rod icon Rat Fink and other extreme characters. As a custom car builder, Roth was a key figure in Southern California's Kustom Kulture and hot-rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. He spent the final years of his life in Manti, Utah.

Mutt's logo on the side is a stylized dog driving a car. This is an homage to Ed Roths Rat Fink character.

Mike Chilton is The Burners leader. His last name comes from the Chilton Auto Repair Manuals.

Disney Breaks out of their shell with Motorcity

"Can't wait to see this! Looks like a cross between Gorillaz and Metalocalypse. And, a mix of Dukes of Hazzard, Fast and the Furious, and Scooby Doo. Motorcity, a new animated series Disney XD is launching later this month. The premise: In a futuristic Detroit, about 50 years from now, the evil billionaire Abraham Kane has taken control and outlawed basic freedoms, including automobiles. A group of young rebels who call themselves The Burners are fighting back to protect their subterranean refuge, Motorcity. They build their own fleet of customized hot rods, which finds them at odds with the malevolent Kane. Motorcity was created by animation vet Chris Prynoski, whose producing credits include the Adult Swim series Metalocalypse. "
