Hot Wheels Battle Force 5: Full Revolution is the 53rd and 54th episodes (shown as a 46 minute special) of Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 and the last episode of the series, being released officially on the 21st of November 2012 (however it seems it was aired on certain channels as early as 15th May 2012).
It was commissioned by Mattel's Latin American subsidiaries due to the series having more success there, and as a result, the episode was unfortunately not broadcast in any countries outside of said region. According to Ira Singerman, (a producer on the series) the episode was indeed originally written and produced in English. However, due to the original English version having no home media release or television airings outside of Latin America, it has yet to surface and is currently considered lost media. It is known that the episode did air in English but was again only available in Latin America via English SAP (Secondary Audio Programming). Two separate dubs were produced for the episode, Latin Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, which have been archived and can be watched on YouTube.
Summary[]
Part 1[]
The episode begins with Rawkus narrating the feats of BF5; defeating the Red Sentient 5, Sark, Vandals, and restoring the Blue Sentients' minds to their shells. The scene then changes to Modulon 5, the Sentients' home planet, where Vert and a Mobi are pursing a Karmordial when Master Takeyasu joins the fight. With the help of a Red Mobi, Vert defeats Blador, but not before he heavily injures Takeyasu and destroys a Mobi. Before dissolving into nothing, Takeyasu tells Vert that he must find his father, Jack, who has the Meta Key and that the light will prevail in the spreading darkness. Also, the Dark Matter Bomb carried by the Karmordial explodes and a Dark Matter Wave begins to spread. Vert then calls for a Council meeting. Sage and Korosivash decide that they should tell Vert the truth, and so, Vert learns about the Karmordials and the Sentient Penta Warriors, who helped the Sentients exile the former outside the Multiverse. He also learns that the Karmordials could not evolve but even their own creations, the Sentients could. The Karmordials detested them and tried to destroy them. Karmekaris informs the Council that there are only a few hours before the gateway sealing off the Karmordials opens and is impossible to stop. Vert views Jack's message and realizes that he is in the Primodiverse and that there is a secret way into there instead of the gateway but before the secret is revealed, the message fizzles and ends. Vert decides to gather the BF5 and leaves. In the meantime, the edge of the Multiverse and the Primodiverse are seen with the gateway separating both. Kromulax contacts the Green Sark leader Zorax. Zorax tells Kromulax that he will wait with his Kamordials and Sark on the Multiverse side of the gateway. Vert contacts Agura and enters the portal to Earth, only to enter the Lightning Battle Zone. Rawkus appears and tells Vert that he brought him here and that he has a message from Sage: To recruit Helixion, the last Penta Warrior, who is not quite trusted and blamed for the destruction of his brothers. Vert tries to convince Helixion, only to end up fighting him. Vert quickly escapes and returns to Handler's Corners. Zeke and Grace are seen at Zeke's where Grace states that she misses the guys. In the meantime, Agura and the BF5 confront Sheriff Johnson and he crashes into a rock. Back at The Hub, Tezz, Sherman, and Stanford talk about the Hot Wheels Testing Center and Spinner's inability to keep secrets. Zoom, meanwhile listens to the last words of Takeyasu as Vert tries to comfort him. Vert briefs the team about the facts: the network of portals are now realigned into a very long track and that infinite racers can enter the zones. Boralis and Karmakaris have an argument over the defenses of the city and gateway. In the end, Karmekaris wins the argument and sends all Mobis to the Gateway while the Red Sark remain in the city. The BF5 pass through Vandal planet and encounter a giant creature, while Sherman and Tezz come up with the Cortez-Volitov Theory. In the far edge of the Primodiverse, Jack avoids a few Karmordials with an invisibility device. The BF5 enter the Dark Forest Battle Zone and confront several Karmordials but are outmatched, even with SmashClaw, luckily, Helixion decided to rejoin the BF5. The BF5 flee to the Sub Zero Battle Zone where the Buster Tank crashes. Vert tries to save the Cortez brothers but is stopped by Helixion. Zorax then ambushes the brothers. In the Reactor Battle Zone, Zoom views Takeyasu's final battle and message whilst Helixion tells Vert about his hard choice and that during the battle with the Karmordials, he was forced to abandon and trap his brothers and a Red Sentient battalion in the Primodiverse to save the multiverse. Then one of the Penta tell the Meta Key to hide and seals the Gateway. Some deemed Helixion a hero, but others called him a coward for sacrificing his brothers and the Red Sentients and that it haunts him till today. Just then Zoom realises that they must enter the Shadow Zone again. Tezz believes that if they go to the Power Plant Battle Zone, they could enter the Shadow Zone then to the Primodiverse. In the Crater Battle Zone, Zorax tries to contact Kromulax when Spinner sees Zemerik. Spinner does his handshake, and by doing that, Zemerik rebels against the Alpha code, regains his memory and blasts Zorax apart. The BF5 enter the Shadow Zone and battle the Shadow Speeders. However, one of them slashes Helixion, causing his Antimatter to leak so they must escape.
Part 2[]
Spinner is seen eating canned food and Sherman is seen studying a photo of Jack Wheeler as Zemerik readies his troops. Sherman realizes that Jack was in the Power Plant Zone and that he had a micro map of the Shadow Zone in his eye. Sherman realizes that via that route, they could enter the Shadow Zone and then arrive in the Primodiverse. Spinner, due to his inability to keep secrets, tells Zemerik all about the route to the Primodiverse. In the meantime, BF5 continues to escape the Shadow Zone with Helixion. They enter the Badlands of the Primodiverse as Helixion's wound quickly heals. They continue to trace Jack Wheeler as Karmakaris and Rawkus rally the Mobi troops at the Multiverse side of the Gateway. In the meantime, Zemerik, the Sark and the Buster cross the Shadow Zone and enter the Primodiverse. The BF5 spot the Sark and the Cortez brothers. Zemerik attempts to make a deal with Kromulax as he calls for Bruterax. However, he fails and is heavily damaged by Kromulax. Kromulax reads Sherman's mind and learns of the Shadow Zone pathway to the Multiverse. He immediately changes his plan to launch his attack. Jack spots the BF5 and hurries away as the Karmordials give chase. Kromulax and his Karmordials enter the Shadow Zone as the BF5 discuss their plan. Sage contacts Karmekaris and wishes him the best of luck. Back in the Primodiverse, Tezz tells the team about the time difference between the Multiverse and the Shadow Zone. The Skyknife registered the trip 14.8 minutes long, but the other cars only registered 3.7 seconds. Which means that if Kromulax travels in the Shadow Zone for an hour, he would come out just 15 seconds after the Gateway opens. And since contacting the Multiverse from the Primodiverse is impossible, Zoom volunteers to tell Sage and Karmakaris personally after the Gateway opens. The rest of the team decide to chase Kromulax in the Shadow Zone and rescue Sherman and Spinner when Jack arrives with the Meta Key. Jack and Vert embrace and they head for the Portal. In the Multiverse, the Gateway opens and Zoom flies in, telling the Sentients about Kromulax's change of plan. A portal opens on Modulon 5, and Boralis drives a blue Vylirex and joins the Sark to defend Modulon 5. In the Shadow Zone, Stanford's Reverb and and Tezz's Splitwire take down a bridge. Meanwhile, Agura goes to rescue the Cortez brothers and tells them to go to the Tangler ATV. She suddenly sees the hibernating Penta Warriors and decides to retrieve them. However, she is caught by Kromulax and he reads Agura's mind, learning her identity. Helixion interrupts and Agura escapes, climbing into the GearSlammer as it slams into Kromulax. Vert congratulates them and Stanford and Tezz blow up another bridge as the portal to Modulon 5 opens. Helixion purses Kromulax, while the Reverb, Splitwire and GearSlammer attack the Karmordials. To their shock, they see the Tangler and the Saber being chased by Kromulax, as the Karmordials chase Jack to the portal. Jack prepares to make a last stand when Borails arrives with two copies of Sage's superweapon. The Karmordials are easily defeated with the calvary's help but Vert is injured as Zoom flies in and knocks Kromulax aside. Jack, Stanford, Tezz, Agura and A.J. prepare to fight the Karmordials head on when Vert places the Fuser over a gap, fusing Helixion's vehicle and the Saber together into the BlastBlade and helping them cross the gap. The BlastBlade easily defeats the Karmordials with a turbo boost, clearing the path. However, Kromulax continues to purse the Cortez brothers and the BlastBlade unfuses. Helixion decides to stay and stop Kromulax, but not before Agura returns him his brothers. Karmakaris decides to stay but, Helixion tells him to go and reluctantly agrees. He reawakens them and they fuse into a large Penta warrior to fight Kromulax as the Vert leaves and portal is sealed by Jack using the Meta Key. The BF5 and the Sentients celebrate and Sage congratulates them. Suddenly, Vert announces that he must retire from the Council of Five to spend time with his family and nominates Karmakaris as the new leader of the Council, only to be seconded by Sage. The BF5 and Jack decide to return to Earth and have some of Zeke's apple pie. Meanwhile, in the Torborian Badlands, Zemerik reactivates Zug and tells him that they have a lot of work to do before speeding off into the distance.

Trivia[]
- The third version of the BF5 opening is released.
- The Hot Wheels Testing Center is mentioned.
- This movie is dedicated to the memory of Dan Wheldon.
- While under development, the story of Full Revolution would be slightly different. The ending is also largely different than the final version. In said version, Zemerik goes back to the Torborian Badlands to revive Zug with his power core, which makes him stronger than he was before, as he points out while mentioning that he was feeling "different". Afterwards, Zemerik claims that they were about to live a fantastical adventure before and both turn around and walks to the doorway of light before it closes.
