Wacky Races, 1968
Lucky Guess
*Arjun, Sparrow and Agnes was trying to help the three hostages that got time bomb on them* Hostage 1: PLEASE! I DON’T WANNA DIE! Sparrow: *trying to take it off* THEY LOCKED IT! JUST LIKE BACK IN LONDON! Hostage 2: *was panicking* Arjun: *looking at the time seeing only 1 minute left* Damn it… Hostage 3: I WANT TO SEE MY CHILDREN!!! Agnes: *looking at the time and the hostages* …… *sighed annoyingly* ALRIGHT! EVERYONE SHUT UP!!! *everyone looked at Agnes when she yelled* Sparrow: Blast? Agnes: SHOOSH! Arjun: Blast what are you- Agnes: AH AH AH! SHOOOOOOOSH! *closing her eyes as she concentrate* Sparrow: ...... *looked at the time down to 30 seconds* Captain… Arjun: *look* We need to go NOW. Hostage 2: W-WHAT?!? Hostage 1: NO! PLEASE! Agnes: *is still trying to concentrate before looking at the wires and then at the time that is only down to 20 seconds* Got it! Agnes: *got her knife* Hold still! *Arjun and Sparrow saw Agnes is working on cutting the wire* Arjun: Blast! We don’t have time to dis- *saw Agnes already cut the wire and the timer stop* Arjun: -arm...it... Agnes: One! *went to the other hostage as she cut the wire* Agnes: Two! Sparrow: Wow. She’s….disarming the bomb! *Agnes ran to the last hostage and eyes widened seeing the wires are the same* Agnes: Kefe… Hostage 3: W-What is it? Agnes: Um…uh… Arjun: 10 SECONDS, Blast! Let’s MOVE! Agnes: Hold on! *looking at the wires as she mumbled to herself* Sparrow: *lead the two hostages out before looking back at Agnes* Blast! 5 seconds! We got to move NOW! Hostage 3: No no no NO! PLEASE! Agnes: *looking at the wire and grabbed one before cutting it* *Arjun quickly hugged Sparrow to cover her before not hearing the explosions* *the two slowly looked at Agnes who had cut the wire* Agnes: *was panting and looked at the two before smiling* Got it! Arjun: 😮💨 Sparrow: Fucking hell, Blast… Agnes: *giggles* And that was a lucky guess! Arjun/Sparrow: THAT WAS YOUR LUCKY GUESS?!? Agnes: !!! Uuuh… *smiled nervously* Ehehehe… Hostage 3: ...... *fainted* 😵💫
Arthur's Note: Like I said before in Agnes's bio. She has good memories of how to disarming the bomb. But taking THREE out at the same time. It'll take LOTS of focus for her to cut the RIGHT wire. So yeah.

Just another day on the race track for max
This is from a while back, but I tried my hand at drawing Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly from Wacky Races (1968) if they were brought back for a more modern version/continuation of the show.
I imagine that the original Meekly would return, only much older. With his hearing fading away over the years due to all the explosions, yelling and racers engines blaring in his ears, it would make a bit more sense as to why he would misinterpret the orders Sergeant Blast yells out mid-race.
This Sergeant Blast is actually the original's daughter, who tries to be a lot like her father, but doesn't wish to be as rude as him either. She's got a short fuse and will get aggressive when attacked or insulted by other racers.
The Army Surplus Special remains nearly exactly the same, with the cartoony look to it intact. Even though it's taken some damage over the years, Blast is certain that it's still strong enough to race with.
So Kensuke Ōta AKA Pile Volcano Ōta/Volcano Ōta, former D-1 Grand Prix announcer as well as planning developer, revealed an early rough drawing of Tankmon he did before asking Kenji Watanabe to finish the design.
In the tweet he shows off early Tankmon, Mr. Ōta revealed that he was thinking Sergeant Blast and Private Meekley and their vehicle the Army Surplus Special from Wacky Races:
Now as fans or Frontier will tell you, this isn't the only homage to Wacky Races in Digimon as the cartoon was apparently a big hit in Japan.
What makes this interesting however is this might lend credence to the theory that Tankmon's upper and lower halves are in fact a pair of distinct beings that are conjoined.

The Mean Machine
First EXPLOSIVE Impression
To let you all know, this is like a shipping idea for my crazy COD OC gal. AGNES.
*Alejandro and Kanoa were walking by to introduce the WTF with Los Vaqueros* Alejandro: Your team are very interesting, Captain. Gathering ALL of different Pacific's to join with you. Kanoa: Thank you, Colonel. I'm glad that your Los Vaqueros and my team are getting quite along. Alejandro: Haha! Same here, hermano. *while the two were talking they both jolted at the explosion in front of them* Alejandro: What was that?! Are we under ATTACK?! Kanoa: Uuuuuh...Noooooo. Come with me. *Alejandro followed Kanoa to where the explosions was at* Alejandro: *paused to see it was a woman teaching the Los Vaqueros about disarming the bomb* Huh? Agnes: *talking to one of the Los Vaqueros* Nah nah nah! You're GOOD! It takes practice! Kanoa: *smiling at Agnes before looking at Alejandro* Colonel, that's Sergeant Blast. Our BEST demolition expert. And I hope you don't mind her teaching your men of how to make or defuse the bomb. Alejandro: *seeing Agnes was enjoying herself with his men* .......Ella puede demolerme en cualquier momento~ Kanoa: What was that? Alejandro: AHEM. Nothing.
200 ways to Kill a Man
*Price, Gaz and Agnes was trying to interrogate the Butcher* Price, crossing his arms while glaring at the Butcher: I know 200 ways to kill a man. Agnes: You can glue an open jar of RATS to his face. *showed the blowtorch in her hand*
Agnes: Then blowtorch the other side of the jar so the rats have to eat their way out through his FACE!
Gaz: 😰
Butcher: 😨
Price: …………*grinning at the Butcher* 201~
Gaz: CAPTAIN!
Agnes: 😈 Hehehe~
