Rev Runner is the sixth main character of Loonatics Unleashed and one of the members of the Loonatics. He is a head-spinningly quick character in more ways than one. He is the descendant of Road Runner. He wears a black and red uniform with turquoise eyes. Unlike his ancestor, Rev speaks English rather than saying "meep meep".
General Knowledge[]
Before gaining his powers, Rev was a delivery boy for Quick Wrap Sandwich Shack and an inventor who was always late, even while using the rocket skates he created.
Relationships[]
Ace Bunny[]
Rev greatly respects his leader.
Lexi Bunny[]
Danger Duck[]
Tech E. Coyote[]
Tech is best friends with Rev, despite the rivalry between past coyotes and roadrunners. While Rev is not as intelligent as Tech, he is the only one capable of understanding Tech's highly academic speech, and the two are usually seen talking and working on inventions together. Tech sometimes gets annoyed by Rev when he won't stop talking.

Rip Runner[]
Rip is Rev's younger brother, although he didn't care for him much on The Family Business. When Rev spends time with his family to build his Robo Amigo, after Rip was possessed by the Bio-Tech Parasite found during the team's last mission, Rip becomes jealous of Rev's talent as an inventor and superhero while having all of their father's attention. After Rip is possessed by the Bio-Tech Parasite, he acts out his feelings of jealousy towards Rev and takes control of two Robo Amigos to destroy Acmetropolis. After Rev gets the parasite off, Rip apologizes for nearly destroying the city, and Rev apologizes for not being a better brother.
Family[]
Rev's father is Ralph "Pa" Runner and his mother is Harriet "Ma" Runner. He also has a younger brother named Rip Runner. Rev's family members are all introduced in the episode "The Family Business". Ralph "Pa" Runner owns a very successful gadget company and expects Rev to take over the family business rather than continue with his "dead end" job as a superhero.
Powers and Abilities[]
Rev as seen in his Space Outfit on the episode Acmegeddon part II.
- Sonic Speed - Rev has the ability to run at supersonic speeds, achieving a velocity clocked at 9887.9 meters-per-second (22118.6024 miles-per-hour), giving him a mach rating of 29, significantly faster than real-life roadrunners. He also uses this ability to enhance his kicking.
- Speed Talking - Unlike his ancestor, who only made a "meep meep" noise, Rev can actually talk using English, though usually at a high speed, sometimes annoying or confusing others. In numerous episodes, it is shown that without his powers, Rev, like his brother Rip, speaks at a normal speed, more slowly than the average anthropomorphic roadrunner (although, curiously, he retains his rapid speech when swapping powers with Tech after an incident with a DNA scrambler in "The World is My Circus").
- Global Positioning - Rev possesses a sixth sense that functions as a psychic GPS-tracking system, allowing him to locate the position of other life-forms.
- Flight - Unlike normal roadrunners in the cartoons, Rev is able to fly in the air with a blaze surrounding him by flapping his arms while using his Sonic Speed. Though Rev can sustain unassisted flight, he has rockets built into his boots and a veil of zero point energy spread between his arms and his flanks, like wings, that allow him to hang motionless in the air.
Trivia[]
- Rev is the only Loonatic who cannot physically harm the enemy via projected attacks (though he has used his enhanced speed to augment his kicks as shown against Massive).
- It's possible that Rev and the rest of the roadrunners gained speech through evolution.
- It's also possible that he and his family have gained limbs and the ability to speak through evolution.
- His name may have been inspired by rapper Rev Run.
- Due to Rev's hyper attitude, he is assumed to be the youngest member of the Loonatics.
- In the original trailer, Rev Runner's name was Roadster and he had sharp-looking wings. His suit color was blue.
- Rev is the only member of the Loonatics to have had their family shown in any episode.
- Rev Runner's voice actor, Rob Paulsen, has voiced many other cartoon characters for Warner Brothers, including Fowlmouth in "Tiny Toon Adventures", Pinky in "Pinky and the Brain", and Yakko in "Animaniacs".
Quotes[]
- "Ooh! I wanna try that! I wanna try! I wanna try! Here it goes!" - Weathering Heights
- (To Danger Duck) "So you’re the one! I did suspect it to be you, but how could I just accuse without ant proof? Man, it’s been bugging me for months! I don’t know why I’m surprised, really. Duck, if I had to pick one teammate that would sink so low…!" The World is My Circus.
- (To Tech) "Really? Maybe it's being done by that same person who's "not" smarter than you." The Heir Up There
