I'm just a miner.
Wtf, shadow raiders, maybe autobots and decepticons, or even maximals and predacons
Rock and Stone Brother
The templin lnstitute Please do a video on the global alliance from Roswell conspiracies aliens myths and legends
You have no idea how tired I am to hear you say that.
If you guys are looking into more obscure shows, Exo Squad was a cool Sci fi/mech show worth checking out
Finally! Proof that I'm not the only one who remembers this show! 😊
Same here dude
You can watch the whole series on youtube!
Maybe Equestria and the Owl house as well.
I remember seeing an episode of this years ago as I kid, but I never got the name of the series. Glad to know I didn't imagine the whole thing.
Dude, I still have the toys!
Man, I loved the concept of World Engines, Battle Moons, and the Beast Planet. Shame we never learned more. I still remember the final scene of the series.
"Planet Reptizar. Doomsday."
Me too. In fact it was always a disappointment to me that the show was canceled before more the lore could be explored. Obviously the Beast Planet and all of these other cluster worlds share a commonality in the technology of their origin. Not every single one. I remember from the first or second season Remora was a dead planet. Basically a moon without purpose unlike the “battle moons”. And even then I think the battle moons were originally supposed to be for every planet but somehow Planet Rock had hoarded them all like something million years ago before they all started raiding one another for resources that the others lacked. Others like Planet Tech, Water and Plant all pretty much died/were defeated in part due to to overwhelming force of the Beast and likely Lamprey's sabotages. Back to the other worlds and Planet Rock, I wonder how they got past the Battle Moons to ever raid them in the Resource Wars? 🤔. Unless the others were capable of sophisticated technologies (probably Planet Ice), piloting skills (likely Planet Fire, or at least Pyrrhus has shown proficiency as a pilot), and sufficient hacking/sabotage cyber warefare (more than likely Planet Bone, or at least more so with Femur, and to a lesser degree - Pelvis, in charge) that's the only way the other worlds, in my opinion, would even get close to Planet Rock to raid it's ores. Planet Bone was raised for lichen which likely grew from it's moist atmosphere and used in each world as a sort of combat ration. Planet Fire was likely raided for fuel, although it's anyone's guess as to how. Maybe they had plasma or something 🤔? And Planet Ice was used for a water source, although I wonder why the people of planet Fire would need water 😅🔥🚰🤷🏾♂️? Despite being largely made of stone, the humanoids of Planet Rock definitely drank the water. And possibly those of Planet Bone did as well, or maybe they used it to keep their swamps hydrated? Now that I think about it, I wonder what Planet Sand gives as a resource besides it's namesake and what uses the other cluster worlds would use it for? 🤨. Anyway, Planet Rock is full of a hardy and strong people, but that belief and lack of flexible thinking like Graveheart or Jade, stagnated their society. And realistically kind of made their culture a bit spoiled in a way. Their lives were tough from start to finish, but they hardly ever had humility and truth grinded into them (some pun intended). Graveheart and Jade pretty much only had that because of plot and the loss of her brother. I'm guessing it was believed that Graveheart would propose to Jade eventually and they were dating or beginning to. Which is another reason why Jade was jealous of Techla in her way 😏 lol. As well as Graveheart being threatened by Sternum (Femur's bro that he betrayed to become King) when they first met 🤣. But then Mica (Jade's bro) died on a raid to Planet Fire which “broke” Graveheart. They became “only friends” while he regulated himself to a Miner. I also believe he killed Pyrrhus' father on that same day when he went berserk, firing off shots into an oncoming Fire attack fighter. Thank goodness that never got deep dived into, otherwise the alliance never would've worked, Pyrrhus would've become more reckless and hot headed 😱😞 (especially since this is from the same studio, he would've ended up like Enzo from Reboot when he stopped using his first name and called himself Matrix the Renegade. But without someone to cool his flames of vengeance so that their people may survive when the Beast Planet came for them and swallowed up Planet Fire despite the Vizier using the world as a kamekazi weight to crash into the Beast. Just like the people of Planet Water and probably Plant, they all would've died. Although Planet Plant was more like 1 organism split into many minds, including that sapling it gave to Femur to care for like a pet or a baby).
@@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027 i imagine that planet beast invades the star wars galaxy during the clone wars devouring planets of the seperatists and galactic republic and neutral planets and the beast drones fight both the jedi order and the grand army of the republic and seperatists battle droids and sith lords and civilians being attacked by the beast drones as well as military targets i wonder what the reaction of the galactic republic's reaction would be like after the beast planet itself devoured the planet called kamino where the grand army of the republic's clone troopers are created since the clone wars is being fought without the planet destroying death star i imagine that the republic's capitol of coruscant get devoured by the beast planet the death and destruction caused by the beast planet is only starting to be the end of the star wars galaxy
@@davidvangerner7241 That sounds like an incredible turn of events that I'm surprised to Star Wars Galaxy hasn't gone into yet with their own lore like some sort of Unicron type of planet It's just out there devouring other planets getting bigger and stronger as it does. Devouring the Living Force as it goes. And the only way to stop it is to somehow get inside of it without dying, which is nearly impossible. As we've seen in Shadow Raiders that it took forever for Tecla to make that force field generator so that Lord Mantle, Jade and Graveheart could both have a one-on-one with Bloc and Lamprey. It will probably get so bad that palpatine would have to reveal himself as a Sith Lord and even worse probably bring the 1st Death Star out of mothballs when it's barely finished (like it was in the Rogue One: Star Wars story).
@@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027 and i wonder what would happen if unicron attacked the star wars galaxy during the clone wars as in unicron himself invading the star wars galaxy during the clone wars and attacking every planet in his robot mode while devouring other planets in his planet mode
@@davidvangerner7241 Once again, the only way to victory would be destroying him internally as they did in the Transformers movie. But doing that in the Beast Planet seems all but impossible considering it's insides are pretty much a furnace of the same stuff their drones and commanders are made of - Null Energy. Plus they flew in at the 11th hour of the Battle of Remora through the cluster's sun. Whatever armor that thing and it's claw arm are made out of is beyond durable and screws with every known concept of physics 😅😵😭. So getting inside of it is probably as close to impossible as ever. Also I think the Prison Planet which was more of a large factory moon repurposed as a prison was likely an experiment by the World Builders of the Cluster. And whenever it teleported away, the thing was preprogrammed to “jump” to worlds created by the Builders. Which is why the Beast Planet ends up at Planet Reptizar (judging by the name, was a planet of Reptile type people. And the reason why the Cluster worlds thought it was barely more than a myth was because of it's teleportation ability, constantly jumping from 1 world's aerospace to another.
Known as Shadow Raiders, this show was made by Mainframe Entertainment, the same company that made Reboot, and you could really feel their fun take on world building with this show. It was a neat watch with some great character designs and the usual Mainframe top notch voice talent. Too bad the toys never really caught on, but I do have a Besat Planet and Planet Tek in my own collection. Good memories.
I noticed the Reboot style, but it also reminded me of Transformers Beast wars which they also had a hand in.
I got Remora and some of the extra series.
Also nice to have shows where even if you win, there is a steep cost.
The nostalgia high from this video means I cannot operate heavy machinery for at least 6 hours
Does a battle moon count as heavy machinery?
Makes me want to watch ReBoot.
I never thought anyone would ever do any deep content on War Planets/ Shadow Raiders. I love that Templin did this! Thanks guys!
Oooh, oooh! One of my favorite generally forgotten series! Glad to see it seeing some attention.
I always thought it would make an amazing RPG setting.
Edit: Or a 4X/RTS setting now that I think about it. Build up your forces and raid other worlds for resources.
"Flint Graveheart" is just, the coolest name.
Templin is doing SHADOW RAIDERS!?! What a time to be alive
Such an underrated show.
By Mantle's Crown, amazing to see this show on Templin's radar.
I loved these things as a kid! I remember making up my own little board game with the figures. 😂
I still have the Beast Planet set!
Love Such series unfortunatelly Ended too soon :( :/
I never heard of this show. So this was a surprise. I wonder if the Kids Next Door will get their own investigation.
KND Rules!!!1
That moment when planet Forest (?) can't activate its world engines and the planetary consciousness (?) realises it will die...holy shit, mate. That's one of the deepest and sorrowest moments ever seen on any kids' show. And Femur taking care of the little plant the planets gives him was also one of the sweetest redemptions to that character.
Masterful show.
I miss this show, i hope it comes back one day to actually finish it
Be careful what you wish for you might get something like reboot guardian code
I think it be better to be remained untouched to remember the childhood memories to treasure them
@@dwaugh2215 yes.
It could certainly do for some sort of remake. Although the ESRB rating for the show would probably vary, like how Young Justice started as a more teen oriented superhero show on Cartoon Network but later became more adult themed in its content when crossing into the 3rd and 4th seasons, like showing more blood and gore or even the aftermath of characters like Black Lightning/Jefferson Pierce and Helga Jace (traitorous a**hole as she was, obsessed with making Meta-Humans).
@@krisblunden1642 I regret reading your comment.
Damn Templin! Going hard on the nostalgia juice! I remember this series and wanting more of it. Awesome job. If you are digging in the past do you want to look at the Reboot television series? I think there is some fine material for a 10 minute episode in there.
A 10 minute episode just on a general overview! There's Dot, Bob, Hex a Decimal, Enzo, Megabyte, the nulls, and more. Can easily get a hour long episode of Reboot easily.
I have never heard of this series, but I can tell it's a Mainframe Entertainment work.
yep. its one of their lesser known shows. shame really and its one of their best
Thank god I am not the only one.
I've got to find it somewhere.
@@ChrisKunix its all on youtube. just look up Shadow Raiders
@@ChrisKunix it’s license expired I’m pretty sure so it’s been on TH-cam for a few years.
Oh wow. I remember watching this show and enjoying it. But I never could recall when it was to air or where. One thing I recall immensely about the show is that, despite his insistent, Graveheart is not just a miner.
It's kind of a theme throughout the series, that nobody's 'just' anything, and that you where you start doesn't dictate where you end.
This gives me an idea? Could you cover Hoxxes from DRG? Or maybe DRG itself?
Sure, we can do a video on the Dickinson Robinson Group.
I spent years thinking I was the only one that remembered this. In fact I started to think I imagined it.
It was the same for me and Reboot until it came up in one of Overly Sarcastic Productions’ trope talks.
I Definitely remember War Planets. I checked it out since it was produced by the same studio behind Beast Wars and Reboot. I was SHOCKED how great this show was. It is space opera done right.
This show was amazing and well ahead of its time. It needs definitely needs a reboot. If anyone hasn't seen it, I highly suggest it. It doesn't away from good writing and even dark events.
It still makes me sad that the show was cancelled. There was so much potential in it, and the way the series ended was so damn good. And I've re-watched it as an adult, and I still really enjoyed it, it's really well written and all the voice actors gave it their A-Game.
Part of me doesn't want it to be rebooted, much like Firefly, I'm not sure a modern reboot would do it justice, especially after all this time. But another part of me would LOVE to dive back into that universe.
Definitely give us more Shadow Raiders content please.
BRUH, childhood nostalgia just hit me like one of those mining trucks!
I'll be ok, I'm just a miner after all...
I’ve loved Shadow Raiders when I was a kid! Does that mean you’ll be doing most of the races of that show as well?
Words cannot express my joy that this show is given due credit. Even if it was merely a vehicle to market the toys, the writing was top quality, and it was a true shame it never got a proper conclusion.
WOW. I did not expect this franchise to show up here.
Gotta say I wasn't expecting you guys to do shadow raiders, loved this show as a kid
I remember watching this series every Saturday morning when I was younger but it always ended at the Battle of Remora so I never saw how that happened. But thanks to this and all future videos on the topic of this series I will finally have my resolution.
Both seasons of Shadow Raiders were on TH-cam. So, you can now catch up on the show.
Wow didn't know that Shadow Raiders: War Planets would be on the Templin Institute.
Great way to honor the cartoon I watched when I was younger back in the 90's and early 2000's.
Hope Planets Ice, Bone, Fire and the Beast Planet would get their own videos soon.
Shadow Raiders aka Mass Effect for kids! Outlasted the toy line it was made for with superior story telling!
Good lord this brought me back! I hope you do the other planets!
"And you eater of worlds, may you taste our rightous fire and choke at it."
I really wish Netflix would pick this up and do a revival series! Either have it start where season 2 ended or have a time skip and show how the Alliance is after several generations with the beast planet reappearing.
"or have a time skip and show how the Alliance is after several generations with the beast planet reappearing" There's no point without the main characters... Beats alone can't carry it... So, unless they _survive_ that long, it's a bad idea...
I never thought you would cover this classic animated series. I used to love this cartoon so much. So dark, so kickass. Awesome job
I never thought that you guys would ever do this show.
Factions I would like to see next:
1. Cognito Inc. | Inside Job
2. The Commonwealth | The Walking Dead
3. New Jericho | Phoenix Point
4. The New Legion | ARK: Survival Evolved
5. The Xxcha Kingdom | Twilight Imperium
Planet Rock. Party on dudes! 🤘
Never thought I’d see something from War Planets here. What’s next? Cybertron?
I only remember planet Beast showing up. I didn't know it continued past it!
2023 and I didnt know I needed War Planets content. The world is healing....
My disbelief that anyone remembered this show is matched only by my delight that it was the Templin University.
Dude, I looked this show! An absolutely forgotten gem.
Sincerely hope you cover the rest of this series, It dosen't get the recognition It deserves
SHADOW RAIDERS! Thanks for bringing attention to this lesser known gem, enjoyed it thoroughly years ago 😊
This is really old. Brings back memories.
Man, I haven’t thought about War Planets in a long time.
I absolutely loved Shadow Raiders. The only qualm I ever had was with the Prison planet, and it's teleport engines. I never understood if they were Creator-made engines, or something that had been created during the Treaty of Four, and then abandoned/lost the plans/not worth using anywhere else. And the Beast Planet absolutely fascinated me. We only see 3 'living' inhabitants of the the Beast; Lamprey, Blokk, and Voyd. I always wondered if they were the ONLY three, or if the Beast was filled with others like them, and they were just the current infiltrator/commanders sent out by the Beast. Also wanted to know if the Beast itself had a consciousness, like when one of them mentions that the Beast is angry; are they just talking about the collective attitude of the inhabitants, or the planet itself?
Also wanted to know about Remora. It'd been part of the system for so long that it was just another world there. Maybe it'd always been there. But had it always been dead? Or had it died at some point, and the Beast just used the husk as a convienent base to build a mini-Beast battlestation?
"But had it always been dead?" Probably always... It's a Pluto stand in... "Also wanted to know if the Beast itself had a consciousness, like when one of them mentions that the Beast is angry; are they just talking about the collective attitude of the inhabitants, or the planet itself?" My take it's that it's the first... An obviously mechanical device is unlikely to have "consciousness", especially when it doesn't really demonstrate it...
The character and background designs look pure unadulterated badass.
please do all of the planets! it's my childhood :D
Shadow Raiders fans unite!
The names are so stupid, like could you imagine if we named our planet after dirt?
......Why are you all laughing at me?
You _did_ name it after dirt, indeed...
Please complete the Shadow Raiders collection with Fire, Bone, Ice, Beast & Remora, Sand, Jungle, Prison, (and maybe Tek, Water, Reptizar?)
I stopped this video mid-way through. But only because the lore breakdown made me want to go see the show myself so I can avoid spoilers.
Very wise. This was such a COOL show.
I remember this show... It was better than reboot
Since a child I always remember (and often mimic) the line "BATTLE MOON!" from Lord Mantel.
God I loved this show, it had no right to be so in dept for a platform to sell toys to children....
*distant Star Wars theme starts kicking up*
GREAT fucking show. And I always preferred the "Shadow Raiders" title to "War Planets". War was just too on the nose and generic, even if that's what the toy line was. Shadow gave indication to the resource wars themselves, in addition to the literal raids of the shadow/void creatures of The Beast.
Shadow Raiders was a really amazing show, glad you're covering them. It had such a great worldbuilding!
Mmm love me some Mainframe content.
Can't believe a show this good is forgotten by history, the show have very good concept and lore, plus its a prime example of good writing and characters can made people forgive the dated CGI, the writing is very mature for a show that suppose to sell toys for kids.
It's amazing that this series was made by Mainframe Studios, the same guys that did Reboot. With such incredible world building, it's a real shame this never got past 26 episodes due to disappointing toy sales.
I'd probably say I'd like to see a continuation, but I'm not holding my breath. The company that made the toys the series was based on went out of business years ago, and I don't have to remind you of what happened to Reboot: The Guardian Ripoff Code.
I hope you'll do the other world-factions from War Planets: Shadow Raiders soon.
(Thank you! For the LIFE of me I could not remember what this was called! And then it just popped up in your feed, letting me find it again! So thank you!)
Shadow Raiders AKA War Planets was a remarkably good show at the time. Shame it, and the toys, never became widely popular.
I beg your fraking pardon? War Planets, fraking War Planets Goddamn that's old and forgotten
You just made my day with this video. Thought nobody remembered that show. Thank you Templin Institute!! 🥺
War Planets should get a videogame.
Since you did this, why not do either The Grid or the virtual world of ReBoot next?
Thank fucking god people still remembers the show. Thanks templin seriously
Now I just need you to cover Battletech and Exosquad and that will get all my sci-fi cartoons.
Wait, this was real. I had all the toys, I would set them up and make mock battles. But I was also a little gay kid so there was drama set in their too, I think I did game of Thrones before George just in my living room lmao
i loved this show when i was a kid....defiantly do more lore about this universe......
Hoping they take a look a Gears of War factions such as the COG, UIR and Locust Horde
What a coincidence, i was talking yeasterday with my kido about series i watched as a kid. There are few but Shadow Raiders is one of the most memorable :D
Well that’s one way of admitting the world never even tried to make sense. Lizard planet best planet, just stick an attack tail on a whole damned world.
The series had originally been planned to have three seasons and 40 episodes in total. But during the exhibition of season two, the toy line had very low sales in Canada. Because of this, despite the series receiving good ratings, the producers decided to cancel it because the series was made to promote the toy line. Due to the cancellation, the third season was not made.
This show was great, one of the best that Mainframe did along with Reboot. I would love for these shows to make a come back with today's tech to really make it look great.
Thank you so much for covering this guys, one of my favorite series of all time, it was a crime it didn't get the hype or continuation.
#imjustaminer
this is very kewl. I really liked Shadow Raiders // War Planets it needs more love.
Now this is some oldschool shit.
I randomly tough to my self just now, hmmm lets see if there is anything new going on with SdwRds and what a nice coincidence to see that some ona made a vid on it just 2 days ago, its a shame the show was cancelled, it was awsome.
I hope we get the rest of them, Planets Ice, Fire, Bone and the Beast Planet.
I'm sure I have the old toy of the beast planet somewhere in the loft.
I loved this show and along with EXO Squad where my jam.
Honestly, this series of uploads should qualify you guys for an Order of Canada.
So happy others recall that awesome show.
If only they had continued it.
I really need to finish my War Planets / Mass Effect crossover.
This is the type of more obscure universe lores that I subscribed to Templin Institute for.
Proof that myself and the Templin institute have the same algorithm
A video on Shadow Raiders: that's one hell of a Nostalgia bomb.
I have a vague memory of this show. Thank you for showing it.
now this is a surprising inclusion
This opened up a long calcified party of my brain.
Whoa, this takes me back to a show I only managed to catch occasionally, but still remember for its unique universe
Wish someone would revisit this universe and expand upon it.
Are there more of these? I'm dying to hear about the other planets and just the lore in general
I am so glad someone else remembered this IP. I had most of the toys. I still do, in fact.
I also remember this... I use to watch on TV when I was kid
Can you do planets Fire, Ice, & Bone next?
Wow talk about a deep cut.
I love that show as a kids.
this show was great even if so short i would of loved to have seen it go on as the story it was telling was far from over
It's fun taking the elemental planets trope to the extreme. :)
No mention at all of Planet Paper? Darn Rock propaganda!
