I know I'm bumping a 2 year old comment - but it'll never happen. The series ended because Trendmasters wasn't seeing the toy sales they wanted. Thing is, the series was made for an age group that didn't buy toys anymore...It's awesome (if corny at times) but it's not for 8 year olds either :P
@@Darkdaej they were at every Toys R Us and KB Toys. I had all of the toys except the action figures. The planets and moons came its little vehicles and micro figures. I had the beast planet and planet remora. Sometimes I bought multiples of them so I had a huge army and pitted them against each other. Good times.
Watching this has convinced me that if Mainframe Entertainment had teamed up with Games Workshop, they would have made an awesome Warhammer 40k series.
I would love to see someone secure the rights to Shadow Raiders: War Planets and make a Tabletop Game out of it. War game covering the Resource Wars and the War with the Beast Planet, Skirmish Games, an RPG so people to form their own Grand Alliance and face off against Lamprey and Blokk.
10:18 - "That's it you Boneheads, HIT 'EM HARD! FOR THE GLORY OF YOUR EMPEROR! MEEEEEEEE!!!!" ~Emperor Femur A fine display of both Arrogance and Ego. Couldn't have it any other way.
True, Voltron is the only animated reboot done right available these days. If they tried to reboot War Planets now I'd be afraid that they'd dumb down the story and characters, or cheapen the animation budget somehow. Or worse, do what they did with Reboot and replace the cool, interesting, original alien characters with human characters, especially generic kid characters, ugh.
I can't believe Femur and Pyrus get along so well. They are complete opposite. Femur ran away at the first sign of trouble despite people begging him to fight and next episode Pyrus rushing into battle like it's the best thing ever despite his vizier telling him not to. lol
For some reason I always felt Pyrus liked Femur because of his casual "I don't give a fuck" attitude about life. He'd been sheltered by Vizier since his father's death and ruled a people who were hot-headed, but also very focused on tradition. Femur was a pure hedonist...something Pyrus likely wished he could be. Remember what he said when Femur made his introduction in Episode 4? "This is how a king SHOULD live!"
12:55 "Me and my troops aren't used to being flanksided like this" "You and Your troops are not used to combat. Period" From Ice planet but sure knows how to burn.
I assumed that was just part of his bizarre ghostly/alien biology, like his skull face was an out of focus image on a screen or a mirage etc. He still looks cool either way, but I wonder if the animators simply decided they liked him better without the jittering or if the jittering was an animation error they finally got around to correcting?
How is it that Beast Wars had 3 seasons, two spins off and 1 sequel; and that reboot had 4 seasons, 2 movies and one reboot; but this show only has two season of 13 episodes each? Who the fuck makes those décisions?
Ya Reboot has a larger cult following, and Beast Wars us connected to the popular Transformers franchise. In contrast Shadow Raiders/War Planets is far kess popular and made far less money.
It's actually moving fast than you think. On the show it looks slow but think of how many km's (miles) that is per second. Plus its really big and very dangerous. One slight touch and your dead.
This series needs to come back. It existed during a golden age of cartoon computer animation.

@@Darkdaej When I was a kid I had all of the toys
@@bman3794 heh, I never saw the toys outside of tv ads

@@bman3794 explains why I never saw them. The nearest toysrus was over an hour away

Especially ironic since they share half the same voice cast.

@@ramjet94some of the voices in this particular series that we are watching were also involved in the original ReBoot animated television series.
In 2025: this is the time it needs to com back. We are ready for it now
'And stop that blasted jittering! It's getting on my nerves!'

This series seriously needs a reboot.
Nacirema like the Reboot reboot?
At this current time i`d be very worried if they tried to reboot it.
they would probably ruin it like they did reboot.

@@KaijuCommander plus they couldn't get away with Femur's flirtatious advantages around women
reboot no. A new season

I also think femur had a soft spot for pyrus. Pyrus was the only one in the alliance was halfway decent to femur who grew to respect Pyrus.
3:28 nothing scares the shit out of me like a report like this. If your attack is going too well you're walking straight into an ambush
12:55
"Me and my troops aren't used to being flanksided like this"
"You and Your troops are not used to combat. Period"
From Ice planet but sure knows how to burn.
So does planet fire.
Planet Remora is such a cool design and I wish we seen more of it, It really stands out from all other sci-fi planets and space stations.
With friends like femur....who needs enemies?
I liked Blok's face jittering. It looked disturbing in a cool way.

It kinda lent the idea that he was constantly ANGERY. At the very least wished they'd explain it was involuntary.
@@TehComs I guess some people thought it was annoying so they removed it.
loved this as a kid LOL
18:54 this is the most vile response ive ever seen
I wish the finale of beast wars had a crossover with this show.
¿Graveheart's Alliance with Optimus Primal and the Maximals?, that'll be so cool.
I smell a fan fiction prompt!!!!!!
i'd love to see such crossover , but time long ve passed U.U always remember this childhood's series
9:54 OOOOOOOOOOHH! Transformers reference (to me anyway).
what do you mean?
@@AntonioJarquin more than meets the eyes is the transformers slogan
@@diavora Thank you, i got it
The studio that produced this series did actually make transformers cartoon, beast wars
4:43Gary (Chalk)? Is that you
@Marney Olson I had hardly noticed until you mentioned it!
How is it that Beast Wars had 3 seasons, two spins off and 1 sequel; and that reboot had 4 seasons, 2 movies and one reboot; but this show only has two season of 13 episodes each?
Who the fuck makes those décisions?
toy companies...?
The transformers name was behind it.
Ya Reboot has a larger cult following, and Beast Wars us connected to the popular Transformers franchise.
In contrast Shadow Raiders/War Planets is far kess popular and made far less money.
19:38 Prometheus school of running away from things ( .-.)
Someone watches cinemasins 😅
5:20 where is that quote from?
Kind of reminds me of the President's speech in Independence day
@@MrSpawndog Pretty sure that's where they took it from.
Its partially taken from a speech in "Henry V" by Shakespeare.
So epic! ;)
hello space people go up or down from the oviously slow moving energy orb. As far as we can see it doesn't track its target.
It's actually moving fast than you think. On the show it looks slow but think of how many km's (miles) that is per second. Plus its really big and very dangerous. One slight touch and your dead.
