What's the Story?

This series picks up a few years after the original adventures. The Biker Mice are back on Earth! This time, their main enemies are the evil Catatonians. These cat-like creatures want a special machine called the Regenerator, which is the most valuable thing on Mars. They are also old rivals of the Plutarkians.

During their attempt to get the Regenerator, they accidentally destroy it. This forces the Biker Mice, along with Stoker, to escape to Earth. Their mission is to build a new Regenerator to save their home planet.

Meet the Characters

Returning Heroes and Villains

• The Biker Mice (voiced by Dorian Harewood as Modo, Rob Paulsen as Throttle, Ian Ziering as Vinnie) - These three brave mice are mostly the same as before. Now, they are a special commando team. Throttle is officially recognized as their Commander. They have cool new outfits and helmets. Throttle has new sunglasses and twin powered gloves that shoot lasers. Modo has new boots and a cutting torch in his mechanical arm. Vinnie carries powered shuriken and gloves like Throttle's. Their bikes are also upgraded with new weapons and can fly, go underwater, and handle any terrain!
• Charlene "Charley" Davidson (voiced by Lisa Zane) - Charley is still the smart mechanic. She has a new, short haircut and a modern outfit perfect for motorcycling. She appears in most episodes and helps the Mice a lot. Her friendship with Vinnie is still there, and she seems to like him more in this series.
• Carbine (voiced by Dina Sherman) - Carbine is Stoker's niece. She has a slightly different costume and a much bigger role in this series, even visiting Earth. Her complicated relationship with Throttle continues, showing the stress of the war.
• Stoker (voiced by Peter Strauss in 2006–2007, Jim Ward from 2007–present) - Stoker is a very important character in this series. He founded the Freedom Fighter movement on Mars. In this show, he was missing for years and many thought he was a traitor. He invented the Regenerator, a machine that makes water for Mars. He was forced to build another Regenerator for Ronaldo Rump. When the Martian Regenerator was destroyed, the Biker Mice came to Earth to get Rump's machine. Stoker has a secret identity called Nightshift. He uses this disguise to protect himself from sunlight, which can turn him into a wererat because of his exposure to special chemicals. In the end, his teenage daughter, Spitfire, helps him return to normal.
• Rimfire (voiced by Jess Harnell) - Rimfire is Modo's nephew. He was almost Throttle's replacement when Throttle was promoted to a general. However, Carbine decided Rimfire wasn't ready to be a "Biker Mouse" yet.
• Lawrence Lactavious Limburger (voiced by W. Morgan Sheppard) - This Plutarkian villain is back for revenge on the Biker Mice. He used to work for the Pit Boss. He later tries to get even with the Biker Mice. The Catatonians even turn him into a fish using the Regenerator!
  • Dr. Karbunkle (voiced by Susan Silo) - A human-shaped alien mad scientist who works for Limburger. He also wants revenge on the Biker Mice and even works with Dr. Phineas P. Catorkian. The Regenerator turns Karbunkle into a turtle by the end of the series.
  • Greasepit (voiced by Jess Harnell) - A criminal covered in grease who was one of Limburger's helpers. He briefly worked for Ronaldo Rump in a plan to disguise aliens as world leaders.
• Pit Boss (voiced by Jess Harnell) - The boss of the underground Pits. Limburger and Dr. Karbunkle worked for him after the Biker Mice defeated them.
• Napoleon Brie (voiced by Luke Perry) - Another Plutarkian and Limburger's rival. He tries to use the Regenerator to take over Chicago. He also tries to expose Limburger to Lord Camembert, but discovers they are Catatonian shapeshifters in disguise. The Catatonians turn Napoleon into a fish too.
• Lord Camembert (voiced by Jess Harnell) - The leader of the Plutarkians. He was impersonated by a Catatonian shapeshifter.
• Harley (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - Vinnie's old girlfriend. She was once captured and later helped other rats. She came to dislike the Biker Mice, thinking they gave up on her, but Vinnie had searched for her a lot. When Mars was in danger, Harley sacrificed herself to save it.

New Faces

• Spitfire (voiced by Dina Sherman) - She is Stoker's daughter, a new character in this series.
• Catatonians - These are the new main bad guys. They are cat-like aliens who want the Regenerator. They are rivals of the Plutarkians.
  • Hannibal T. Hairball (voiced by Rob Paulsen in a Russian accent) - The short and not-so-smart Assistant Supreme Commander of the Catatonian Army. He escapes the Regenerator's effects and later joins the Nomad Rats.
  • Cataclysm (voiced by Clancy Brown in most episodes, Dorian Harewood in some) - He is Hannibal's younger brother, but he's the one truly in charge of the Catatonians' plan to get the Regenerator. At the end of the series, the Regenerator turns him into a harmless mouse.
  • Dr. Phineas P. Catorkian (voiced by Jess Harnell impersonating Boris Karloff) - A tall, thin Catatonian mad scientist. He creates most of the inventions Hairball and Cataclysm use against the Biker Mice. He also escapes and joins the Nomad Rats.
  • Catalina Catacall (voiced by Martha Madison) - A female Catatonian who can change her shape.
• Ronaldo Rump (voiced by Jess Harnell) - A character who makes fun of famous business people. He has a very large rear end and a big hairpiece. Ronaldo used to sell used cars and found Stoker with the Regenerators. He uses a Regenerator to get rich, but it's running out of power. He tries to force Stoker to build a new one. Ronaldo later teams up with Hannibal and the Catatonian army.
