YMMV / Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

• Awesome Music: Both the opening theme and the ending theme. Interestingly, the music from this series was done by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy, who had scored many of DIC's productions, and most notably, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. You can now get a soundtrack.
• Complete Monster:
  • Saw Boss leads the Monster Minds, who were created by Jayce's father, Audric, initially for a peaceful purpose before rebelling against him in order to conquer the galaxy. A bellicose commander, Saw Boss orders the invasion of many planets, destroying several of their ecosystems; institutes mass enslavement; causes the starvation of worlds' worth of people; creates horrific plant creatures in order to enrage a warlord and steal his weapons after he and his armies are defeated; and manipulates the population of another into a civil war for his own gain. As resistance groups rise up against him, Saw Boss infects their water supply in order to weaken them. His thirst for power knowing no limits, Saw Boss even uses slave labor, capturing innocent scientists to build a weapon to allow him to conquer other universes and, when stopped, sabotages a satellite to make it crash into a planet out of spite. In order to get the ultimate weapon possessed by Jayce and get rid of him and his companions, the Lightning League, Saw Boss manipulates several people to do his bidding then betrays them once they're no further use to him. He even creates a black hole by crashing three planets; destabilizes another inhabited planet; and crystallizes another one, including its population, all just to get what he wants.
  • Vantu is a slimy magician who betrayed his own race by stealing the Liberty Stone that protects his race for years, before allying himself with Saw Boss in order to defeat the Lightning League. Disguising himself as the former leader of his race, he tricks one of the Lightning League members, turning him into stone, and after Jayce saved him, Vantu went into the nearby village and petrified most of the population with his Liberty Stone. Returning in the next episodes, he aids Saw Boss by causing much mayhem, with his worst act being his attempt to drain the core of a certain planet in order to boost his magical power—with no intention of sharing with Saw Boss—which would result in the annihilation of all life in the planet. In his final appearance, he made a magic generator that resulted in the fabric of the universe getting torn apart so that he could give Saw Boss more power.
• Cult Classic: There are many better-remembered eighties cartoons, but this one has a lot of dedicated fans who rank it pretty high among the era's animated action shows due to the vehicle battle premise, running plot line, and incredible theme song.
• Harsher in Hindsight: As mentioned in Trivia, the whole fact DIC Entertainment refused to credit the writers, including J. Michael Straczynski, and then canned the finished finale movie, is an incredibly heartbreaking situation for people who watch it.
