No cheating...

It had a cartoon...

The show featured two duelling forces. The "good guys" are humans, called the _____________ __________. They drove white and silver vehicles with assorted weaponry...

The "bad guys" are organic green vegetable-based creatures called the Monster Minds, who tend to take the shape of black and green vehicles. They travel via large green organic vines which can grow in and across interstellar space, that sprout seeds that rapidly grew into further Monster Minds

they had accessories....

its not really fair considiring there was a thread earlier this week asking about the figure witht the large saw...

now for the derailing.

can anybody name this series based on the very small amount i remember(it's been driving me batty the last couple nights)

all i can remember at this time is that there were three main "good guys" each with their appropriate color outfit(red, blue, and i think yellow). The had various "armor" parts that would turn into vehicles/weapons etc. IIRC the action figure was slightly larger than a joe. I want to say this series ran in the late 80's but very well could have been early 90's...

anybody wanna take a shot in the dark here?

Funny how I don't remember or know a thing about these and now they pop up twice within a few days.

thats exactly what it was. Thank you

i was apparantly slightly off on the colors, but glad you could figure it out anyway.

I don't know anything about the series whatsoever...

Except the name, which is Jayce and the Wheeled warriors.

Written by the same guy who did Babylon 5, if my drink and age-addled memory isn't playing tricks on me.

I remember both Centurions and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors from when I was little.

For me, Jayce was one of the best drawn animated series around, as well as the sadly short lived series based on the Starcom toy line.

Both are worth watching...

See, you threw me with the 'slightly larger than a Joe' bit, 'cause I was thinking of the little Joes, and Centurions were pretty big lads.

I had an entirely different toyline in mind, called Unifighters.
There were fifteen (little) Joe-sized figs (three from the Marines, who wore yellow, three from the Air Force in white, four from the Navy in blue, and five from the Army in red), and each had a big backpack that turned into a one-man vehicle. The vehicles could also combine in various combinations, but were designed to go together in teams; the Marines' vehicles combined to form a large helicopter, the Air Force got a big F-15ish jet, the Navy piloted a hovercraft, and the Army guys drove an enormous tank.

I think I may even still have them...

Good call on the cartoons too, Whisper. I have a Starcom video downstairs with three episodes; I'd quite like to get hold of some more sometime. Don't suppose there's much hope of a DVD release...

Hot damn, I remember Unifighters! Had the commander of the army team, came with a backpack that was also a tank turret. Annoyed me I never found any of the others. Had to use him as the commander of my Action Force guys. Given I had about a dozen good guys and two Cobra blokes, battles could get a little one-sided.

thats jayce and the wheeled warriars one of my fave all time toons and i must say probably one of the most underrated toons ive ever seen storywise and animation wise as well.
