Characters

  • Blaze (voiced by Nolan North) An orange-red monster truck who is good hearted, loyal and brave. He is Axle City's number one racer. At the start of Season 2, Blaze becomes the newest member of the Axle City Fire Department.
  • AJ (voiced by Dusan Brown) is Blaze's best friend and driver, an eight-year-old science and technology expert.
  • Starla (voiced by Kate Higgins) is a purple pickup truck, a roping expert and speaks with a thick southern accent. She runs a farm outside the city.
  • Darington (voiced by Alexander Polinsky) is a clumsy yet fearless blue monster truck who loves stunts and has a sound wave when he speaks.
  • Zeg (voiced by James Patrick Stuart) is half-triceratops, half-monster truck with brute tendencies. He has a short vocabulary and tends to refer to himself in third person.
  • Stripes (voiced by Sunil Malhotra) is a striped truck with the abilities of a tiger such as a high sense of smell and retractable claws in his tires.
  • Gabby (voiced by Angelina Wahler) is a knowledgeable mechanic, fixes up the trucks or anything when they are damaged.
  • Crusher (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is Blaze and AJ's rival and the only villain in the series. He is childish, whiny, full of himself, and cheats in almost every episode to get his way.
  • Pickle (voiced by Nat Faxon) A green monster truck who is Crusher's sidekick despite Crusher's indifference towards him. He always follows Crusher wherever he goes. Pickle tends to look on the brighter side of things and is quite goofy. He is a fan of Blaze. He is also an animal expert, as shown in episode 24/25, who knows a lot about a Kissing Bear
