- RetroBlasting goes for broke to unravel the headaches in collecting Wheeled Warriors with the definitive video guide and vintage toy review!
#RetroBlasting #WheeledWarriors
Your dedication to this half-forgotten, confusing toyline is respectable.
Thank you for doing all this hard work... I have not bought any of the Wheeled Warriors due to so much confusion.. Now I can!
Wow... CZcams is like an audio/visual time machine to our childhood. I see things I remember as well as things I'd forgotten about. I almost come to tears sometimes. Who would've thought all of this awesomeness would be documented for future reference! 🙏🏽
Just came across your channel today and have been binging. This level of research is so hard-core. So much respect.
This is the first time I haven't heard of the product before your video. I never knew these toys existed.
You posted this video just in time to save me from making the terrible mistake of trying to finish my childhood Wheeled Warriors collection. I'll just settle for having my creepy bad guy vehicles. I humbly thank you.
Thank you for your hard work getting the accessories confusion stream lined. Loved Wheeled Warriors when I was a kid; I had almost all the vehicles except 2, none of the walkers, but I did have the base.
They look so good when displayed, I mean you have to get the walkers now. Thanks for sharing!
I got a Wheeled Warriors coloring book from Salvation Army Santa when I was a kid in mid 80s. I didn’t know there was a toy line associated with it. These look like they would have been a lot of fun
Loved these toys. I got some of the main vehicles as hand me downs and would get accessory packs with my small allowance. Even duplicates were fun. Honestly buying a bag of loose bits would be fun.
I used to have most of these, and I loved them. I used to invert the axle assemblies to make them lower-riders.
I've always toyed (pun intended) with the idea of getting them, as they are easy to display, but, never pulled the trigger. If I do, now I know where to start. Cheers.
The amazing things the algorithm sends you to.... I had the two walkers and I believe Terror Tank as well, but seeing as how that was over 30 years ago, I cannot be certain on Terror Tank. The walkers were battery powered and identical aside from coloration, the cockpit style, and the spring-loaded weapon under the cockpit. The weapon was activated upon contact as well. The Lighting League walker was mostly white with blue legs and either a blue or silver spring-weapon while the Monster Minds' walker was all black with a dark grey or black spring-weapon and I think greenish or orange "hair". Keep in mind this information is old and I haven't even seen pictures of these things, let alone held one, since I was 12 or 13, about 30 years ago.
@RetroBlasting I have to be very honest... Back in the day, I really wondered why we never saw any Jayce toys here in the UK... Looking at these, I really wish I had been able to get them back then!
Despite the hell they have put you through, I would LOVE to see a full set... HELL! I WOULD LOVE TO OWN A FULL SET!!!
Dear Michael here's an update I found out what they were called
The company was called Nave and the line was called multimac omg I almost cried when I saw them on eBay. Thanks for the video and reminding me of something from my childhood.
Your sacrifice is very much appreciated.
Come on man, you have to go all the way and get the walkers, you are committed!
Also, this video was incredible. The most complete, logical and detailed breakdown of all the parts I have ever seen. Great work
I had Saw Boss and KO Kruiser as a kid in 85-86. Up into the early 90's you could find these things at flea markets for a dollar or two. I would pick up Armed Force and Drill Sargent a few years later in the mid 90's but I never saw the other guys. As a kid I always wanted Terror Tank and Gun Grinner but never saw them until eBay came along. Spike Trike is extremely hard to find complete!
Hi Rero
Thank you for helping in this video..this has been my favorite cartoon as a kid. I am glad you took effort and time to make this video..AAA+++
I started collecting the toys recently. I'm glad can know use your video for reference and understanding.... I can know complete the collection.
Wow I had forgotten all about those toy line. I definitely had a few though. I’m happy I found your channel.
"DV" that's hilarious!! Another great episode, I look forward to this more than I do Agents of Shield! I can't believe you called the Dark Lord DV that made my day!
This video helped me out tons! I had a bag full of warriors stuff from my childhood and never could find any info on which part went with which. Thanks a bunch for helping me sort things out, now I can concentrate on what I don't have.
Great video. It's me Caleb walker. Thank you for giving me advice on what I should get for my gi joe collection. Great video! Keep up the great work!😄
Good job on this one Mike this video will help tons of people trying to collect these.
For what it's worth Mike, I am benefitting from your headache. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
very good cartoon , had to get up very early in the morning to watch it before school ..it came on at 530 am ..the toys is something i never seen until now…IM A TRUE GIJOE GUY
Dear Michael do you remember if this line ever had a 1990s release maybe of a smaller type of vehicle? I used to have a set like these when I was a child but I lost them when I went to the emergency room due to breaking my nose trying to get one that fell under bleachers. I remember my favorite one was this triangle-shaped vehicle but I replaced the wheels with treads and they were in a shape of a rhombus. The complete set had at least five or six vehicles that connected to each other like as if there were a train or can separate to make a convoy
cool info! Starriors need some love too.
Don't remember this line. Great analysis though! I always enjoy your videos and enthusiasm for vintage toys!!
Love your.show and the nostalgia 80 material. This is exactly what I have been looking for on CZcams. Brings up a lot of childhood memories
Awesome work! You gain +1 for service to mankind!
I just got a battle base with all the parts still attached to the sprues, and the instructions to show that I do have all the parts, and it does come with that gun in both colors, and another in black, and grey. One gun comes in all three colors
Love your videos. I always wanted these toys as a kid but we could never afford them or any cool 80's toys. Always saw them in the stores and I would just dream about owning them. I'm now 45 and own most of my beloved toys and video games now that I have a game/toy room. Yup I'm a grown man that collects 80's toys and nostalgia lol. The only one I can't find is Spike Trike. Very hard to find. Awesome Video Brother. A++++ Thumbs Up! : ))
Loved building and switching parts had a box of them
Cool, I've had a bunch of those human pilots since I was a kid. I bought them at a yard sale. Now I know what toyline they go to. Thanks!
My brother and I had a few of these as kids...I just remember the pie wheels, saw arm and MONSTER BRAIN...can't recall exactly which vehicles we actually had...think we got a bag of them at a yard sale
Love this guide. Now i can start collecting them at my own pace
Hah! This brings back a lot of memories. As a kid I had some cartoons on a VHS and it only contained the intro to the Wheeled Warriors - as you can imagine, I was so hyped, but never got to watch the show until many. many years later. This intro could be the best cartoon intro ever, some people think it's Mask, but for me... this was it... I love the cars, but I never saw the toys untill I watched your video...
Please, include more original intros to your toy reviews... I was so disappointed that the Mask review never had the intro in it.
A big congratulations! It looks like a lot of work. When seeing your original video about this, I wondered if watching the series would've helped with which part connects with which vehicle.
I actually have every single Wheeled Warriors and all the parts that came with it. Have not looked at them in years.
I can't remember that far back if I owned any of these, something happened to all the toys I owned when I was a kid. I think I owned either the tank with the green vine sticking out of it or the blue monster mind vehicle with the club on it. I did own a few hot wheels car along with the car garage playset. If I did I probably used them with hot wheels garage play set lol. The dino riders toys were a huge headache for me due to all the pieces for the figures. Please do the Dino Riders toys next.
Man, I loved those. I had all of them but two of the bad guys. I had the base and two walkers also. I do remember some kind of weapon pack. I could be wrong though.
Really really enjoy your videos thank you keep up the good work
interesting, I used to collect G1 Transformers, and luckily there's tons of info on them and their accessories and parts online, I guess all toy lines aren't so lucky.
Man Wheeled Warriors is one Fine Ass Madness
Next, please do the Saber Rider toys! I think that toy line was even smaller (and prob. less confusing). It seems to be quite rare, would be interesting to learn more :)
The interchangeable parts reminded me of a toyline called Starriors that my little brother was into. My mom bought some at discount at Walgreens or something, and it started us on a quest to find as many as we could. I looked for a Starriors cartoon but haven't come up with anything. I just remember some comic books that came with the toys that had a story I liked at least.
Excellent survival guide thanks !!!
Ahh, Wheeled Warriors...A great cartoon that should have been around for more seasons, and the only cartoon from my "yewt' that ever used the word "inseminated". Good times. Thanks for this guide, man. Not nearly as critical as it might have been a while ago, since I've decided to keep my WW collection, but helpful nevertheless. Oh, and thanks for inspiring me to collect the Battle Base too...Sigh...It never ends. lol
Great video guys! That has got to be the most confusing and difficult toys to collect in all of toy collecting lol.
Yay! keep up the good work guys!
You never fail to do the most challenging projects for us. I hope you come to the Calgary comic expo one day.
Great video! No "Jayce" figure? Do "ROBOTIX" next, (if you haven't already) I have 2 open boxed sets.
I heard there's a good book, with pictures, for completing GI JOE VEHICLES. I need that.
Michael, have you and Melinda ever considered writing a book? I know trademarks, image licensing would be a huge headache....You guys would be so good at it, a retroblasting book would live on my coffee table.....(which I hate drinking coffee there, doesn't make much sense....I'm going to have to research this hahahaha) great video btw
+retroblasting a book would be a good idea. you could make a wheeled warriors book like mark Bellamo did for gijoe
i just found your show. love it!!!! keep making more
Wonderful job!
I missed you guys.
i'm in the process of collecting these and this guide is extremely helpful. thanks yo!
Nice to see someone else sharing my pain...
Setting a new standard, I like it!
That was great! I recently rediscovered the ones I had when I was a kid...always had a soft spot for these. Was thinking of tracking them down and completing the set but now...yaaaaaa...don't know about all that! :o)
great video loved the intro
Not getting the walkers?? Ha haha ha! You did something the hard way, but I don't think it was to learn. cant wait to see the vids on those cuz I know you will obtain some! lol
Great job as usual, M&M. Huzzah!!!
Great video!
Cartoon had the best intro music and the outro
Awesome I recently got 1 of these and this vid really helps. Also tell DV that idle hands are the devils work shop.
I've got every single lightning here every single monster my haircut an apple base and the two giant walking one satisfied what I've got I don't have any problems with picture missing
you are my hero!
Exelent vídeo !!!!!!hice nice very nice!!!!!
1:31 I don't think Mattel cared about what went to what after the "Wheeled Warrior" toys left the factory; if they did, they would have designed them as non-interchangeable. This video is a valiant effort, but confusion seems to be a key thing with the toy-line and the cartoon "based" on it.
I never had any of those,but good video.
Awesome toyline, dont have it as complete as I used to as a kid...but still have all the 4 bad guys and one of the good team...
I was dissapointed though that there was no connection to the cartoon characters, just the dull orange brown figures
I think you've got the tall cannons switched.
I was a young kid then and I can tell you right now I missed out on all of this. And you think the company could rerelease the toys for the 30th anniversary?
Transformeland has an amazing Guide.
Fair well to arms...nice...XD
This make me want to play Convoy on Steam.
Thanks man .
good job
I actually found a small piece of information for the parts from the mini comics
The two walkers are not too expensive online if you are patient. I found a 100% complete/working version of the Trail Blazer on eBay this week for $25.00 plus $10.00 shipping. They are never listed as complete though because, as Michael said in his video, most of the sellers have no idea whether they are complete or not.
Transformerland has a very good guide for all parts that I cross-referenced with this video, and the website appears to be correct. I am sure someone will find a difference between this guide and Michael's video guide, but I haven't yet. Here is a link to the written guide in case anyone needs it:
www.transformerland.com/wiki/wheeled-warriors/wheeled-warriors/
trail blazer has a spring loaded front club two radars (each different) and four guns (again each unique) gray in color, the monster mind walker has a spring loaded claw and the same guns and radars as trail blazer except cast in green. i have both complete haven't looked at them in years best i remember the types of guns and radars with the walkers only came with them
Transformerland has published a definitive guide to Wheeled Warriors! www.transformerland.com/wiki/wheeled-warriors/wheeled-warriors/
Man, I wish I had the Battle Base back in 2001. It would have been an excellent thing to have with all the Gundam, Zoids, Godzilla, and Micro Machine action and chaos that was going on back then.
Stick with StarCom and you wont run into any problems :)
Roadblasters are also easier to find.
This is why I stick to hot wheels, matchbox, and other easy to find diecasts, or easy models.
jeez that is some dedication
What where the made up names for the weapons that come with the battle base and the weapons from the weapons pack?
Mike, are you aware of any knock off versions of these? I've been searching for toys that I used to see all the time at pic n save (now big lots) back in 1996-1998, and these seem like the exact toys but I clearly remember them colored differently and had distinct pilot characters. Any insight?
Yikes I had no idea the parts would get mixed up so easily.
Ouch. This makes my brain hurt.
You really sure that this vehicle comes with those acessories in that colour?
And i don't know where to put these...
*OCD Twitch* You have the wrong back wheels on Spike Trike!?!! =D - Org owner of a few WW sets (Yes I still have them and 2 in box) ;) Oh and tell Melinda, Wade said hi ;p
+DenimArcade I've just cross-referenced this again and again and I'm pretty sure that the video is correct.
I have the pack-in comic that came with Spike Trike, that also lists its loadout (with pictures and everything!), and I can confirm that RetroBlasting is correct.
Unless there was a discrepancy between what was listed and what it actually came with. In any event, I'm inclined to go with the paperwork.
No arm Vader is funny
Payed about 500 bucks for the set.
"A world of hurt" lol
ha!
I got a Monster Rocket, free!
why not review zoids or star wars follies XI
Does any other person here know of Multimac?
Mattel seems to fail collectors a lot, be it past or present.
matty sucks, they only care about motu it seem like. but the video here was cool.
