Jayce & Wheeled Warriors animated TV series ran from fall of 1985 until the end of summer 1987. The show had 65 30-minute episodes, and was created to support Mattel's toy line simply called "Wheeled Warriors"
The plot concerns Jayce, son of Audric, and his quest to rejoin him. The backstory is that Audric was a botanist who did several experiments with biotechnology, one of which blossomed and became a young humanoid girl named Flora. Audric had also created a miracle crop that could thrive in any environment and was intended to end galactic hunger. However, a burst of radiation generated by a sudden solar flare mutated his plant into an evil, sentient being, and changed other plants around Audric's laboratory into similar creatures, who collectively became known as the Monster Minds, and refer to their leader as Saw Boss. Audric manages to create a magical root that can destroy the Monster Minds, but is forced to flee before he can complete the task, after which the Monster Minds turn Audric's laboratory into their headquarters (which can teleport to other places by means of a mysterious power source known as the "the power of the black light"). Audric keeps half of the root himself and gives the other half to his servant, Oon, whom he sends to serve Jayce. Thus, Jayce and his Lightning League friends are constantly on a quest to find Audric and combine the halves of the root.
The toyline idea was that the Monster Minds-A bunch of evil machines driven by little green brains- were on a rampage. To fight them there was the Lightning League-some armored vehicles driven by humans. All of the eight smaller vehicles had x-changeable parts that fit on all of the vehicles. The monster minds came with a rubber L-shaped brain for the driver. The figures that came with the lightning league vehicles were tiny generic guys with brown suits.
