Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (intro)

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors 1985

The show featured two duelling forces. The "good guys" are humans, called the Lightning League. They drive white and silver vehicles with assorted weaponry, and are led by Jayce. The "bad guys" are organic green vegetable-based creatures called the Monster Minds, who tend to take the shape of black and green vehicles. They travel via large green organic vines which can grow in and across interstellar space, and sprout seeds that rapidly grow into further Monster Minds. They are led by Saw Boss. Music by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban.

If you're roughly 40 years old, never drive whilst playing this song... 3 points on the licence for speeding. 🙄😂

[Scottred]

45 years old now and this intro still pumps me as much as it did when I was a child 😊😊

[TheEpicMarty]

I wish I could relive the 80’s, waking upto cartoons like this and thundercats on a sat morning was pure awesomeness

[tyrannosaurusinf]

the intro is a song about believing in yourself enough to keep moving forward no matter the hardship.

pure 80's awesomeness.

[TalkingAboutGames]

Only the manliest man alive leads a little girl, an old man, an electronic toy and a Han Solo rip-off against a group of evil sentient bioweapons. Pure awesomeness!

[QuEEnZCaNgRi]

even at 44 i’m rocking out to this intro, the flashbacks to this and all those other awesome 80’s cartoons as a kid

[mechahalcon]

As a kid the bit at 0:58 always gave me shivers. Still does. Also is there a more profound statement than "There's a power that comes from deep inside of you, 'cause everyday you're reaching toward the light"? God damn the 80s was magnificent!

[amitsidhar]

If you remember this, your childhood was awesome!

[joshuaedwards]

As a child of the 80s, this was THEE cartoon to watch in the mornings, before going to school, along with Lucky Luke and Transformers, they were some great days, classics cartoons that never grow old

[primalway]

30 years later and this song motivates me like nothing else.

[Galacticgaming]

im 43 and still absolutely love this intro this series was so good 1 of my all time favourite cartoons ever

[berserker]

Still think this was the best intro song ever

[megatronsfury]

A prime example of why the 80's was the greatest decade.

[patricknl]

This was one of my favourite series growing up. Together with He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats, Gi Joe, Ulysses 31, Bassie en Adriaan, etc.

[redrazorx-]

The narrator sounds like Gene Okerlund and the music gives me journey vibes…I love it and I could listen to this all day!

[ROMANTIKILLER]

The guy is singing the theme as if his life depended on it.
Honestly, I have only vague memories of the show itself, but this intro surely had (and still has) me pumped up.

[lycanmonster]

Thundering across the stars,
to save the universe from the Monster Minds,
Jayce searches for his father
To unite the magic root
And lead his Lightning League to victory
Over the changing form for Sawboss.
Wheeled Warriors explode into battle!
Lightning Strikes!
(sung)
There's a power that comes from deep inside of you
'Cause every day you're reaching toward the light
And you know there's a long long way ahead of you
But when your wheels get you there,
Things will turn out right!

Just keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling
The fire is on--Wheeled Warriors!
Battle drums burning, wheels moving--Wheeled Warriors
Wheeled Warriors!
Cause we can just keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling
The fire is on--Wheeled Warriors!
Battle drums burning, wheels moving--Wheeled Warriors
Wheeled Warriors!

[TheCockeyez]

Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Penny and Dumbledor fight weed.

[nightowl]

Even the theme songs of 80's cartoons were better.

[BenadrylJackson]

That combination of ridiculous visuals and extreme music make for one of the best cartoon intros I've seen. Whether the show itself is good or bad, this intro is a true gem.
