Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was one of the more interesting (and sometimes overlooked) show of the 80's. It starred Jayce, a young man who is trying to reunite with his father, Audrich. They each had a half of a magical root that had the power to rid them of a legion of plant-like creatures known as the Monster Minds. The monster Minds were created on accident when an experiment conducted by Audric went horribly wrong. Sadly, the show mostly went unnoticed. This was due to other shows of the 80s that were in their prime (Transformers, He-Man, G.I. Joe, etc.). Even the show's cancellation went unnoticed. As far as I know, there was no official ending to the show.

The show was created by Mattel to boost sales for their toy line of the same name. The toys themselves were cool, as they could swap parts when needed to create some really unique designs. Of course, it was easy to lose pieces, as these toys had a lot of them. But Mattel realized this and made accessory packs that were really inexpensive. I personally can't recall how many times I've lost parts to one of these toys, so the addition of an accessory pack on toy shelves was a good thing. Just don't let kids under 8 play with them. There were too many small parts.
