Throttle is one of the main characters from the show and is voiced by Rob Paulsen. He is the leader-figure of the trio and has orangish-tan fur. Throttle's vision was damaged in the same incident that caused the losses of Modo's arm and eye, and the right side of Vinnie's face. As a result, he wears green sunglasses with field spec capabilities.
Background[]
While fighting the Plutarkians on Mars with the rest of the Freedom Fighters, Throttle was being groomed by Stoker as the next leader. During a mission to destroy the Tug-Transporter, he, Modo, and Vinnie were badly injured and captured. Karbunkle switched his eyes with robotic ones, but he failed to calibrate them properly: as such, without his helmet or his sunglasses (which were given to him by Stoker) he sees completely white.
He, Vinnie, and Modo crash-landed in Chicago after a Plutarkian warship shot them down and started fighting in Chicago to save Earth from the Plutarkian infiltration.
Personality Traits[]
Throttle has a natural flair for command. He has a keen gasp of responsibility and the ability to come up with a plan for any situation. When the bros ride into battle, it's Throttle who decides on the strategy, assessing the situation with lightning-quick speed and immediately knowing what to do.
Generally, Throttle's personality is sort of "middle of the road." Modo and Vinnie tend to be at opposite extremes emotionally; the former is a bit more reserved, while the latter is reckless and uninhibited. Throttle is somewhere between those two. He's not as hyperactive as Vinnie, but isn't as laid-back as Modo. Sometimes, this fact causes him to be eclipsed by his bros, especially given Throttle's tendency not to talk much unless it's pertinent or important.
But Throttle is in no way a bland, blank slate. He tends to be somber and more serious than either of his bros. This is not to say that he can 't cut loose and play around. Indeed, when he and his bros are mopping up the floor with Limburger’s goons, Throttle joins in the fray with as many one-liners as the next mouse. He can be a ham at times but is rarely given to just letting go entirely and being a goof.
Appearance[]
In the 2006 version, Throttle is less muscular and is younger-looking. His fur is slightly more shaggy, especially the longer locks on his head. His sunglasses appear different. He loses the tattoo on his right arm and his whole vest is black. In addition, he wears a green cross-belt from his left shoulder. His pants are normal jeans with the Biker Mice's new signature red belt and the Martian symbol, his being blue. Underneath is a pistol holster also fastened around his left leg. He no longer has shin-guards and the straps on his boots are now brown.
Equipment[]
In the 1993 version, he wears a cestus on his right hand, called "Nuke Knucks", which increases the strength of his blows with that fist. He also has a Laser pistol as another weapon of choice.
In the 2006 version, he continues to carry a laser pistol, but now has cestuses on both hands, which can blast lasers when in fists. In "Cat and Mouse", his lens have a wave coding function for storing and protection from hypnotic waves.
Trivia[]
- In the 1994 video game, his weapon was Tornado shot and he can power drift.
