History WesternAnimation / JayceAndTheWheeledWarriors

''Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors'' is a French/North American animated TV show which first aired on September 16, 1985. It was produced by Creator/DICEntertainment (originally distributed for syndication by SFM Entertainment), and animated by Japanese animation studios Creator/KKCAndDAsia, Creator/{{Sunrise}}, Creator/StudioShaft ([[ArakawaUnderTheBridge Yes]], [[{{Negima}} that]] [[LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}} Studio]] [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Shaft]]), Studio Giants, Studio Look and Swan Production. The show was a SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon, created to support Creator/{{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. Creator/JMichaelStraczynski has claimed that his script for the film, completely written, remains with him.

* {{Expy}}: Herc Stormsailor is pretty much [[StarWars Han Solo]] with the serial numbers filed off. Other members of the Lightning League also have clear Star Wars parallels (see FollowTheLeader below), but Herc is without competition the most blatant one.

* GreenLanternRing: Jayce's ring, AKA The Ring Of Plot Resolution. However, he can't simply command it to OneHitKill 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.

* MerchandiseDriven: Early on, this results in a few weird, out-of-place bits of dialogue, such as Gillian annoucing he's installed "stack and attack mode" in the vehicles. Fortunately, the toy line failed about five minutes after launching, freeing the writers from these constraints.

* SignatureMove: Whenever Jayce's vehicle comes across a plant vehicle with a wrecking ball, it merely grabs the ball and tosses the vehicle over his head.
