History WesternAnimation / BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines

''Blaze and the Monster Machines'' is an {{Edutainment}} CGI animated series by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} created for its Creator/NickJr section, with a focus on teaching the concepts of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The show focuses on Blaze, an orange/red monster truck, and his [[ChildProdigy young but smart driver, AJ]]. They live in a [[SentientVehicle world that involves many living monster trucks]], including their truck friends Starla, Stripes, Zeg, Darington and Watts. Another friend of theirs is a girl named Gabby, who is a [[WrenchWench mechanic]] [[MissFixIt who can fix anything]]. Each episode also features Crusher, a [[DesignatedVillain sneaky blue truck who cheats in races]]. Crusher is almost always accompanied by a green car named Pickle.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: A ToiletHumor example of this happens at one point in "The Team Truck Challenge", where Crusher's rude teammate Rudy farts exhaust in his face.

* OncePerEpisode: Since the show is [[StrictlyFormula formulaic]], be sure to expect at least one of the following to be consistent: the scientific topic that becomes the episode’s main theme; Blaze and AJ encountering obstacles which usually take [[RuleOfThree three attempts]] to solve; the various episodic songs which normally occur twice throughout the plot (one for [[SettingOffSong setting off]], the other for the scientific concept); Blaze turning into something relating to the topic with the viewer’s help; Crusher stopping Blaze with one of his handmade inventions; the humorous subplots involving Crusher and Pickle with their own dilemmas; and last but not least, Blaze’s [[SuperSpeed Blazing Speed power]] which he uses to do something super fast, usually to finish the job.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The promos for "Blazing Amazing Stories" make it seem like a SuperheroEpisode since it plays up the superhero scenes in honor of Nick Jr's "Mighty Heroes Month". It was only the last third of the episode, and it's really a StorybookEpisode instead.

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Since mid-Season 3's ArtEvolution, Blaze and AJ don't greet the viewer at the start as much as they did in earlier seasons. Also, AJ almost never uses his skywriting technique to make diagrams of the problem, instead relying on either his watch or Blaze's communicator screen. AJ has also become the usual describer of the STEM concept when Blaze was in earlier seasons, and usages of his Visor View have become rarer, instead simply showing where they need to find something with no technology needed. The recurring "traveling" songs have also become less and less, instead replacing them with a unique number exclusive to the episode.

** These start occurring with certain songs in the fourth season, with rather trippy scenes.

* DemotedToExtra[=/=]OutOfFocus: Gabby, Stripes, Starla, Darington and Zeg have gotten less and less focus over the course of the show, appearing fewer times per season.

* {{Jerkass}}: Crusher.

* {{Adorkable}}: Pickle with his nasal-voice and naive nature.

* MickeyMousing: At certain points of an episode when Blaze honks, (especially in the newer episode), the background music syncs up to his honking.

* HonestAdvisor: Pickle to Crusher, a kind of [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]] for him.

** Pickle says this in "The Pickle Family Campout" when Blaze mentions the concept of load, and again in "Meatball Mayhem" when Blaze says they’ll do coding.

* KissedKeepsake: At the beginning of “Dragon Island Duel”, Blaze high tires Joe and Gus, the former saying he’ll never wash his tire again.
