Wheeled Warriors 1983 by Mattel

[10incher]

Here is a cool figure line I recently discovered. It was based off the cartoon Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors. I picked up 1 vehicle awhile ago and just lately, made a trade for a bunch of other parts. Hopefully I can piece together complete vehicles from everything I have some day. Click Here to view a Website featuring pics of this line.

I used to love these back in the day. I still have 1 vehicle that is pretty complete and the wierd tree guy that goes inside.

This line tends to go for alot MOC.

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

this is one of my favorite shows! big time. i didnt have many of the toys when i was kid...poor but i had one master mind and one lighting league. i also had two of the up weapons pack that came with more lightining league figures. i always wanted the base but that still hasnt happened

[biged98]

I had almost an entire collections of these, this is a great line, the big battle base is awesome but it is big!!

Does anyone collect these? I remeber I had a few, but they are long gone now. I liked how you could build them and substitute different accessories with different vehicles. I might get back into these.... Ah some much to collect

I loved them as a kid. Yes, the parts were completely inter-changable, though the end results were more limited than you might expect. All you could really detach and interchange were wheels and weapons, after all.

I mostly miss the walker transporter things from this series. Quite honestly, though, they sell for far more than I'm willing to pay to re-start the collection.

thats funny, I forgot you could only change tires and weapons. For some reason, I remember creating grand robots and vehicles, but that was my 10-year old boy imagination playing tricks on me.

I have a tiny collection of these. I liked them as a kid because of the diversity.

[Ghouldrool]

I would certainly pick them up, but the prices are through the roof for these at the moment here. *is broke*

If I happened across one on a flea market or something with most of its parts, I'd be exstatic. The Monsters especially were cool.

I use to have several of them in like 4th grade..... Good luck if you want to collect them now.......I have done several searches and they are scarce you can't find them any where at all...........
They were awesome though.............

You lucky SOB .
I had the leader of the good guys (I think the firgure had a tan jumpsuit and blonde hair) and my brother had the sawboss that came with a weird plant brain thing for a driver. They were really fun interchangable toys but this also made parts easy to lose .

[swafus]

yeah the connectivity of the line is really badass! it was my first taste of customizing back in the day.

There were a few unproduced Wheeled Warriors. I think that I posted pics of two of them on the virtual toy chest years ago. I will try to post the others in the near future, as soon as I finish up some things with V.E.R.N.

I just picked up a huge collection and from what I can tell I have two of everything. I tried using the site listed above and compared it with other sites. No one seems to have the exact same formation of what thye are to look like. Is any on here a Wheeled Warriors enthusiasts that can post pictured of what they look like either in the ox or rigth out of the box.

A few hours later....

I realized that I have most of the mini comics that came witht he vehicles and the instruction books to the walkers. What I don't have is paper work on the HQ or the accessory pack.

Here are pics of what I have

[funkyterrance]

Holy crap, that's a ton of wheeled warriors stuff! I never even knew there were bases lol. These toys were great, I remember them fondly. If I had all that stuff I would keep one set for myself .

[sf1378]

Whats really cool is the vehicles look exactly like how I remember them from the cartoon - they showed it in the UK in the 1990s I think, but the toys were never released here.

The Gherkin - like brain pilots look weird. Anyone got a close up scan of one?

[toyraiders]

I still have a bunch of parts to those but i had the entire line the hq is pretty cool

[else3573]

I don't remember these at all from when I was a kid. 1983 I was 8, I don't even remember the cartoon for some reason. I first read about them in Toyfare magazine a few years ago, in one of their retro focus articles. They look pretty cool, like to get some but they seem to be fairly expensive and not really on my list of priorities right now. Someday though, possibly, since I dig the more obscure lines that not everyone and their mother collects. . I like the bad guys vehicles MUCH more than the good guys tough. Sawboss and Gun Grinner are my faves. (Oh, and the mobile base is pretty flippin cool. Reminds me of a Sandcrawler somewhat)

[toyraiders]

Holy crap your rich those toys are flat out rare trust me

this going on childhood memory, but I think there were 2 accessory packs.

A friend of mine and I had the entire collection thanks to a Sears Catalog Closeout center. The base was used for everybody from GIJoe to Heman and Silverhawks and Transformers....the big door accomodated figures of all sizes.

[brcthrift]

There were at least 2 accessory packs. One was for the lighting league and one was for the Mega Minds.

[trontron]

Heck yeah - this IS an awesome line! They didn't air the cartoon around here, in fact, it wasn't until I started collecting toys in 1992-93 that I even KNEW there was a show - rip off! I actually created my own storyline when playing, but it's not too far from what the show was. I remember it was one of the first times I 'killed' a character off LOL!
As for the toys, Like CaptainAmerica, I too got a bunch of stuff on clearance at Hills (they became Target), and had everything but the bad guy who was a Tank. My fave was the one called "Gun Grinner" or something like that..he just had this crazy Joker like smile with this HUGE cannon sticking out of it - AWESOME! And, like Cap, I also used my HQ for GI JOE and Transformers...all I have now is a complete KO Kruiser, the first one I ever got! Thanks for bringing up this topic!

Is there a known knock off line to Wheeled Warrior put out by SL?
I bought a huge bag of these things that are smaller than WW but have interchangable parts such as guins, cranes, drills, treads, etc. One cock pit has a little silver driver. I will post pics as soon as I find my usb chord.

[kylefromdirtnapp]

Thanks for the bump. ID'ed a few accessories!

[batosi54]

I am new to the site and will have to ee how many of these i have but i do have several wheeled warriors that are new in the boxes still
K.O Kruisur for sure, have to get the rest out of storage

[Deleted]

Some of the parts were used in the captain power line

Please if anybody knows what this toy line is please tell me it is the little tan guy in the photo on the left bottom side. He is in a tan jump suit with a blue circle on one side of chest with a lightning bolt through it. He about the size of a M.A.S.K. figure. I think that is a vehicle that goes with him at the top left. Please tell me Thanks
