Saturday Morning Throwy: Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors (ep1)

Good morning ninjas, our bad about the lapse in posts especially this one in particular. Ninjas be on missions sometimes and that's all i'm at liberty to say about that. Anyways let's get right back into it. This week's throwy is one of my personal favorites in that the premise of the show was so balls out insane at the time to me i couldn't help but take notice & watch. JAYCE AND THE WHEELED WARRIORS originally aired in September of 1985 and lasted for 65 episodes when it was cancelled in December of 1985. This cartoon like many others in the 80's & 90's was initially done to promote a toy line. I won't really go into the specifics of the plot because of its sheer mad genius but i will tell you the conflicting factions of the series are "The Lightning League (Jayce n' dem) and "The Monster Minds". Jayce n' dem ride in advanced, highly waeponized vehicles while the Monster Minds generate their vehicles from intergalactic, bio-mechanical evil vegetation (yeah; i know, right). So here's the first episode, enjoy that.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Defenders of Earth (ep1)

What's good ninjas? This weekend's throwy comes all the way from 1986. The DEFENDERS OF EARTH was pretty much the the second great animated team up after Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends which aired from 1984-1986. While Defenders was much more hardcore (Flash Gordon's wife was tortured killed then had her consciousness uploaded into a computer)it only stuck around for one season & 65 episodes. The group consisted of characters that appeared in newspaper comicstrips published by King Features Syndicate. The Phantom, Flash Gordon and Mandrake the Magician were the main characters charged with defending the earth (duh). Rounding out the team of heroes were Lothar, Mandrake's bodygaurd, assistant and seasoned "caribbean ninja" (seriously, his action figure's packaging labeled him a "caribbean ninja". Also there was Rick Gordon, Flash Gordon's computer genius son, L.J., Lothar's son skilled in the martial arts ('cause when your dad is a carribean ninja your extracurriculars are limited) Jedda Walker, Phantom's daughter, Kshin, Mandrake's adopted son and Dynac X aka Dale Arden, the aforementioned psyche of Flash Gordon's murdered wife uploaded into a super computer. Together they fought the evil of Ming the Merciless and other would be evil doers jeopardizing the Earth safety. So without further to do i'm gonna stop typing and let you watch the first episode, enjoy.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Ronin Warriors (ep1)

Good Morning ninjas This weekend's throwy is another personal favorite. Airging from 1988-1989 with a total of 39 episodes i give you the first episode of the RONIN WARRIORS! act like you're familiar and enjoy.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Tiger Sharks (ep 1)

In 1987 TIGERSHARKS were one of a few other cartoons riding the success of the Thundercats (we're looking at you too Silverhawks). Anyways although a rip off (many of the voice actors from Thundercats also lent thier vocals to Tigersharks) the cartoon wasn't as terrible as rip offs go. Team members Dolpho, Octavia, Walro, Lorcra, Angel, Gupp, Bronc & team leader Mako valiantly fought the evil T-ray & Captain Brizzarly for 26 episodes as apart of the cartoon block THE COMIC STRIP before going off the air. Fortunately for us ninjas we have the internet & can relive all the ripped off marine awesomeness. Enjoy episode 1 y'all.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Starcom (ep 1)

Good afternoon ninjas sorry this weekend's morning throwy is now an afternoon throwy but who says ninjas have to be punctual, am i right, am i right?? Anyways this weekend's throwy is from 1987 and is based on a toyline like many cartoons that aired in the 80s & 90s. Enjoy Starcom: The US Space Force episode 1.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Beast Machines (ep.1)

From 1999-2001 well before Michael Bay felt the urge to have robots blow sh!t up we got Transformers: Beast Machines. This was the series that followed Transformers: Beast Wars . Which did not impress me at all. But Beast Machines was special to me. It featured a trimmed down team of Tranformers who felt more like refugees than heroes who got back to their homeworld of Cybertron only to find it radically changed. So as to not give away to much i'm going to stop typing and let you enjoy this weekend's throwy.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Mighty Max (ep.1)

Ninjas if you will, permit me to introduce this weekend's Throwy. Airing from 1993-1994 to promote the british toys of the same name, I present to you MIGHTY MAX episode 1. Enjoy.



And yes that is the dude from Night Court as the voice of Norman. You're welcome.

Saturday Morning Throwy: Robocop (ep.1)

Morning Ninjas! This weekend's throwy comes way back from 1988 with the original Robocop cartoon. What I love about the 80s is that back then no one gave a f@ck. Especially not about children's fragile & impressionable minds. So why not make a cartoon based on one of the most violent, satirical movies of that time. Ahh, the Reagan era, gotta love it. Y'all go ahead and enjoy episode 1.
