Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors is a French/North American animated TV show which first aired on September 16, 1985. It was produced by DIC Entertainment (originally distributed for syndication by SFM Entertainment), and animated by Japanese animation studios KK C&D Asia, Sunrise, Studio Shaft, Studio Giants, Studio Look and Swan Production. The show was a 65-Episode Cartoon, created to support Mattel's toy line (which was called simply Wheeled Warriors, and which had no particular story or characters of its own). The show features an ongoing plot; however, like many shows made at the time, it does not have a series finale, and thus the plot was left unresolved. Although a movie was intended to close out the plotlines, it never came to be. Story editor J. Michael Straczynski has claimed that his script for the film, completely written, remains with him.As usual for an 80s show, there are two dueling forces— the human-composed Lightning League, who pilot heavily-armed white and silver vehicles, and are led by Jayce. The other faction are the Monster Minds, organic green vegetable-based creatures 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, that sprout seeds that rapidly grow into further Monster Minds, and are led by Saw Boss.Before the start of the show, Audric, a galactically famous scientist, began a project to produce a miracle crop and end hunger. Unfortunately for him, a solar flare released radiation that mutated his plant (and several others around his lab) into evil sentient creatures called the Monster Minds. Audric created a magic root that could destroy the Monster Minds, but was forced to flee before he could join the two halves. He gave one to his servant, a living suit of armor named Oon, to give to his son, Jayce. Jayce and his friends reform a legendary band of heroes called the Lightning League. Jayce travels the galaxy battling the Monster Minds and searching for Audric to unite the magic root and lead his Lightning League to victory over the changing form of Saw Boss. | |

Magical Counterfeiting | |

Magical Counterfeiting: Gillian hired Herc with lead he temporarily transmuted into gold, and after it changed back he insisted on sticking with the Lightning League until he paid up. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The toy line had no real plot or characters to speak of beyond the "Monster Minds" going crazy and the "Lightning League" mobilizing to stop them. The show had to spin an entire universe around a couple of vehicle designs. | |

Fire-Forged Friends: Herc with the rest of the Lightning League. Like Han Solo he starts out purely motivated by money and isn't completely sure he likes these people he's been hired to ferry around in his ship. Over the course of the series, many adventure and several life-threatening danges, he does come to care for them. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: Like in any episodic story where the heroes are trying to find some elusive thing that would automatically defeat their enemies. In most episodes the Lightning League are a hair's breadth from catching up to Audric, but get distracted by Saw Boss's Evil Plan. They save the day, but Audric has had to move on again, starting the chase all over. | |

Ring of Power | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_2b726e19 | comment |
Ring of Power: Jayce's Ring of Light, AKA The Ring Of Plot Resolution. However, he can't simply command it to One-Hit Kill Saw Boss and save everyone a lot of running around; it's implied the ring only works in situations where there's no other way out. In one episode ("Bloodstone") you can see a face in the ring's light, further implying the ring is alive and decides when its help is and isn't necessary. Although Jayce was too much of a righteous dude to ask for its help when he didn't absolutely need it anyway. | |

Light/Darkness Juxtaposition | |

Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: Flora, a girl with telepathic powers created from a plant by Audric. Compassionate, dedicated, inquisitive, if sometimes a little snarky, and an example of the positive aspects of Audric's research. Counterpart to the evil conquerors who are the Monster Minds, who also mutated into humanoid form from plants around Audric's lab but now want to take over the universe. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: Gillian is a perfect example of Wizards Live Longer and is well over a thousand years old, without this having slowed him down any. Oon is possibly even older than Gillian; it's established that he's been around for at least two thousand years, and he's had a lot of different masters in that time. | |

Merchandise-Driven | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_a19cce82 | comment |
Merchandise-Driven: Early on, this results in a few weird, out-of-place bits of dialogue, such as Gillian announcing he's installed "stack and attack mode" in the vehicles- and even then, that's not what that's supposed to mean (in the toyline, it referred to how the smaller Lightning League vehicles could detach from their wheels and attach on top of Armed Force; in the show, it referred to the ability to swap weapons between vehicles- which doesn't make much sense name-wise). The toy line didn't do very well when it debuted, and the writers didn't work around those constraints. | |

Market-Based Title: A number of dubbed versions are known by some name that isn't "Wheeled Warriors". Examples include "Jayce et les Conquerants de la Lumière" ("...and the Warriors of Light"; French), and "...e os Guerreiros do Espaço" (...and the Warriors of Space; Brazil), although the Spanish dub was called "...y los Guerreros Rodantes", which is similar to the English name. | |

Large and in Charge: Subverted with Saw Boss; he's pretty big, but there are bigger Minds. | |

Informed Ability: Oon's (allegedly) magic lance. In this case, however, Oon is the only one who believes it's magic. | |

Nature vs. Technology | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_e174e266 | comment |
Nature vs. Technology: We have the conflict between technology and nature. This show managed to flip the script, however, with the heroes piloting powerful mechanical vehicles while the villains were a group of mutant plant creatures. | |

Expy | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Herc Stormsailor is pretty much Han Solo with the serial numbers (and apparently a few brain cells) filed off. Other members of the Lightning League also have clear Star Wars parallels (see Follow the Leader on the Trivia page), but Herc is without competition the most blatant one. | |

Artistic License – Space | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_e6558beb | comment |
Artistic License – Space: The plants... grow vines... from planet... to planet... evidently the planets in that universe don't orbit anything or they'd get REALLY tangled up. And the planets are all much closer, too. Let's not forget the whole "Plants turning to vehicles" thing. To answer both of those issues: the evil plants are specifically magical. | |

Running Gag | |
| Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Herc's continuing frustration at actually getting paid for hauling Jayce all over the universe. Something seems to happen every other episode for him to add to Jayce's tab. | |

Cut Short | |

Cut Short: An interesting case. The series managed to achieve 65 episodes, and J. Michael Straczynski, among others, even managed to create a final movie-length 66th episode... but DIC Entertainment effectively declared the series would have No Ending due to poor toy sales. | |
