It hurts to see a very underrated series incomplete, this needed a conclusion.
Yeah. I was so mad as a kid that this show just suddenly ended.
a planet full of technology and couldnt find they had their own world engines
It had a conclusion, they teleported it somewhere else as a hail mary.
How else do you stop an unkillable enemy?
@@PerfectAlibi1 answer the s o b in the void
I really wanted to see a third season as well, and they would have continued if the toyline didn't back out.
However, thinking about it as an adult now... the way it ended actually ends up being a fitting (and dark) conclusion that leaves a lingering dread.
It implies that, despite their temporary "victory," the Beast Planet is unstoppable and is just going to continue devouring world after world.
It's a bleak ending.
The animation sure is dated compared to today, but this, Beast Wars and Reboot were a wild ride. The good old days, never to be seen again.
The writing and characters hold it up. I feel a show like this could really hold its on Netflix
I agree
I still love the animation on all these mainframe shows. Its gorgeous! I really wish this show would get a bluray release.
@@GreenEagle34 The writing is nothing to be singing praises about. In fact there's a lot of stupid in this show. The only thing that holds it up is the premise, the interesting and mysterious main villain and the few memorable characters.
@@Soulfly415 You smoking some crack dude ..why your holin out
When 1 pilot episode from the 90s has more substance and creativity than the entire modern Disney network combined.
Shadow Raiders has more Star Wars fellings in itself than Disney Star Wars would ever imagine
@@IgorSalaj3578 Mainframe's creative team were huge science fiction nerds. ReBoot is filled with Star Wars and Star Trek references. (The icons alone...)
Exactly
Shadow Raiders was fantastic, but a claim like that is just pure nostalgia.
These days substance and creativity are called "weird" and "trying too hard".
I remember watching this, Beast Wars, Spiderman etc every saturday morning when I was a kid. Like 2 hours worth of awesome cartoons. Beast Wars was my favorite though, those writers knew how to make interesting characters.
heusniet seems like a golden age huh
*****
no but some i think
It's from the same production company I think. Mainframe.
heusniet
too bad there were never more shows that could match mainframes style i miss mainframe
+matthew bosco dont forget Reboot
Graveheart's ETERNAL Epic Line: "I'm just a Miner" (Since 1998)
that line was used in the game red facrion ... lol very cliche
Wow bro I remember that
Jade: "Would you PLEASE stop saying that?"
@@michaelgreenwood3413 LOL XD XD XD XD
This is basically Mass Effect before Mass Effect.
More like StarCraft meets Battlestar Galactica and Battlefield earth. The animation looks good for 1998.
Wait until you hear about Babylon 5
Putting aside your differences to fight a common enemy. A lesson for all.
Despite their Honor and Pride, Teamwork, Friendship, It's the only way.
The voice acting and dialogue in this show was amazing. Almost theatrical and epic in it's presentation. But then the story itself is a very grandiose narrative, makes sense the voice acting would follow that
A time when heroes become legends.
She's a real heroes.
They don't make shows like the used too. An amazingly crafted story made with heart.
Been looking for this show for nearly 20 years. I remember watching it as a kid, but I couldn't remember the name of it. I searched and searched on Google to look at old kids shows on Fox Kids and UPN. But turned out I was looking in the wrong places as this was aired on the WB. Didn't remember that. All I could remember was some planet getting destroyed and this girl getting launched into space to spread the word that some evil thing was coming. Now that I've finally found the show I know I wasn't crazy and didn't just invent these memories in my mind. It's like scratching an itch you've had for 20 years. Geezus this looks worse than I remember!
20 years old, damn! Couldn't believe that number at first, then I did the math...
I couldn't remember the name either. But I knew that the same voice actor did Rockhound, and Enzo (grown up) from Reboot. Wasn't too long a search on imdb.
I googled just moving planets xD
You weren't wrong to search UPN. In my area UPN was the station that broadcasted this great series.
and it was also aired on ytv back in the late 90s
It's surprising how well the CGI in this series has held up.
The series begins and ends with the doomsdays of other worlds. This is, by far, Mainframe's darkest show.
It's a shame that they couldn't continue with a third season. I certainly won't forget this gem.
With the death of Brokk and the knowledge of the Beast Planet's weakness, their days are numbered
This is an allegory about WW2 and the Holocaust
I wish they'd bring this back
ReBoot, Sam & Max, Sharky & George, Rescue Heroes, Mythic Warriors and Pippi Longstocking are my favourites.
Reboot and Shadow Raiders were my childhood addiction. Thanks for posting this.
Underappreciated series that far outshone the toyline it was based on. Mainframe made great shows in the 90s. Focusing on story and character Reboot, Beast Wars and Shadow Raiders stood above episodic shows of the time.
omfg, im 29 and i almost forgot about this show
i was so hyped as a kid when the intro played.
You can't deny the charm of 90's CGI shows. Now they look too much otherworldly... and so back then they looked out of this world. Graphics, design, animation, it looks very alien-like and i love it.
Modern CGI shows all look much softer, cleaner and just like Pixar Cartoons. It's sad that modern CGI movies and cartoons don't try to do something gritty and alien-like. Modern kids don't like computer graphics that just scream "Yep, this is CGI", as it ruins their "immersion", but in 90's it was the whole point, it should look very different from normal 2D Animation.
At last i found you ...my childhood
yay!
One of the best of all time...
I started watching this series a month ago and it's really good. I never saw this show when it originally aired (I only watched ReBoot and Transformers (Beast Wars in particular)). After I started watching this, it quickly became one of my favorite CGI animated shows. I noticed some voice actors from Exosquad, Street Sharks, Skysurfer Strike Force and G.I. Joe Extreme were in this show.
Overall, this is such a great series.
I'm a diehard Transformers and Beast Wars fan. That said, War Planets was the best show Mainframe ever produced. I'm so glad I bought the DVD volumes back in 2001.
I've never watched Shadow Raiders. This is the first time I have watched it. The first episode is good. It reminds me of Beast Wars and Battlestar Galactica.
I wish I could meet the creators and tell them what an amazing job they did. I hope they truly are proud of their work.
In the first episode we have a planet that eats other planets, and a BFG equivalent used to save the day. No wonder I loved this show as a kid.
Loved this show. Spent far too much money to buy it on DVD from ADVision back in the day, but it was worth it. A few thoughts:
1) Still love the opening theme after all these years.
2) Graveheart is one BAMF. Love when he shows up with the massive sonic cannon.
3) She's not in this episode, but I absolutely love Jade. She's voiced by Enuka Okuma, who you can see on Rookie Blue as Tracy Nash.
90's CGI shows look so amazing!
What do we have nowadays, though... PJ Masks?
Wish we could've seen what Planet Tek was like before it was consumed by the Beast Planet, looked like it could've been cyber-punk like
This animation holds up better than Beast Wars and Reboot.
Loved this show, recorded almost every episode on VHS but missed 2 or 3 and I was absolutely gutted, thanks a lot for these. One of the best animated series I've ever watched, shame they didn't continue on with the series.
I wish there was season 3. I want to know the ending of this series. Two great shows: Beast Wars and Shadow Raiders!
they made another show called beast machines so if u want to know the truth watch the show it made 2 seasons and shadow raiders was still being told through stories on a blog
for beast machines same characters from beast wars
matthew bosco Except Beast Machines was terrible and I already know the ending of Beast Machines. Where is the blog for shadow raiders?
AdmiralLink
wow a little harsh dont u think any ways here www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCwQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.writing.com%2Fmain%2Fview_item%2Fitem_id%2F1420210-Legacy-Shadow-Raiders--JQTRA--X-Over&ei=nQvLVIDrK9bg8AWIzoLgAQ&usg=AFQjCNGnX8XIuqF4Zo5fX1HqtEFzs6zUfg&sig2=8wA5-byc32RkC7_xVxFv4g&bvm=bv.84607526,d.dGc&cad=rja
matthew bosco Thanks. Sorry didn't mean to be harsh. But Beast Machine was not a good show in my view.
Out of curiosity, who wrote the Shadow Raider's story on a blog: the writers of the show or fan?
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I had all of the toys. So nostalgic! Thank you for putting this up!
Considering this was probably the pilot for the show, wow, what a first episode, it packed a whallop when I first watched it way back. Some of it seems a little cliche or farfetched but not for a children's show. For a Childrens show, it tackled a lot of adult themes, at least, it felt mature and cool for me as a young boy growing up in the 90s. I loved this show and the toys so goddamn much.
one of the best tv series i ever seen as a kid because at the time it was killing people and so the stakes were high per episode. And with a bad guy planet that ate other planets and had ate plenty of planets before the final episode the idea at the time amongst kids was that this would lead into some epic final battles. But they just never materialized. Which is such a shame. Everyone i knew watched this on friday morning before school. 7am was worth getting up for with this and Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles before school.
I'm impressed with how well the animation, and some of the themes have help up.
Scarlet Letter i
I've been looking for this show for YEARS
The story is still so convincing that it stacks up(IMO) to even the best current shows. I loved this show when I was a kid! I'd forgotten that it gotten cancelled prematurely.
Thank you for posting this!
That's cause even the best current shows are crap compared to the programs we had. Truly ours was a golden age.
This show is basically Mass Effect a decade before Mass Effect.
some people chose to spread the legacy and write stories of shadow raiders
matthew bosco
And those people are wonderful but still I missed this.
Diavilos
we all do my friend
I’ve been trying to remember the name of the this show for years! All I could remember was the character with the fire hair, now at the ripe old age of 28 I can watch this again!
Rock Soldier: Warriors! lock and load! if it's a fight they want...
King Cryos: Then you would already be dead
HAIL CRYOS!! o7
All hail the beast!
absolute gold...woke up without alarms to watch this
Ah yes shadow raiders love this show back then..
This is what waking up at 6 am on a Saturday morning was all about… shows like this.
When I saw this on TV it was named WAR PLANETS
The animation definitely shows it's age, but the story is still good enough to make up for it animation...
The animation can always be improved upon, just look at EA's games
But without good writing and story it would be crap, again just look at EA
i think the animation has aged well. and yes the story was superb ...
King Cryos... is Rau le Creuset from Gundam seed! I love the VA work and music in this show
O it totally is!
I searched ‘Aliens with Crystal Hair Cartoon’, ‘Past Cartoons Lists’ and finally ‘Planet Engine Cartoon’ and I got it. The theme was an awesome tune when I was younger.
See, I googled "Beast Planet" when I tried to find it again.
This show just demands to be referred to as a true mother-fucking bad ass 90 action cartoon! THIS is why I like cartoons. THIS era is why I got into anime. THIS is what a cartoon should be, could be even... not some candy colored garbage like SpongeBob, Fairly odd parents or whatever... well I admit comedy has its place (especially in cartoons. Be them adult or children based) THIS too NEEDS its place nowadays. I would actually pay for cable connection if I could watch bas ass 90's style action shows like this! I miss the shows with giant mechs beating on each other like zoids, medabots and transformers with real human emotions and conflicts like skyland and cyber six fantasies like THIS, Knights of Camelot, Reboot, Monster Ranchers, Star ship troopers... actions like TMNT, Heman. Power Rangers, Batman, Batman Beyond... GOD can someone gimme a list to watch?? I could really use some REAL cartoons!
ElectronicControl3R Funny thing is, the story already was revived...as Mass Effect.
ElectronicControl3R attack on titan. It's a japanese anime and it's badass.
Also wicked city is nuts, but it's 18+ (some crazy ass crap going in in there)
just go to animekiss and look up sci fi. some ar wack shit, but some are whack good
ElectronicControl3R we all want some of those things my friend but unless there are more of us that still care about these old shows and demand a reboot these shows are just ancient history only a select few get chosen to get rebooted depending on the veiwers the rest are just history that little of us now about

LOOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Never seen this before. looks ...interesting. Kinda has a Beast Wars feel to it.
+TheDevastator1775 made by same studios
No maybe bout they were made by the same studio, & same voice cast to! Back when there were good kids shows on tv!
I remember catching this before Beast Wars (and the newer series with them back on Cybertron), and I didn't like it to much.
I'm watching it now because the show should be good.
I think I’ve been looking this for ages...
BeastWar is my favorite, but this is also memorable
Shadow Raiders is FAR superior to Beastwars.
"i'm just a miner."
I watched this cartoon when i was too young to understand shit. But it's still the most bad ass and memorable cartoon in my childhood. God, it really needs a reboot !
Never heard of this show before. Looks like it was also made by Mainframe, cool! I loved their work on Reboot and Beast Wars.
I miss this movie (show) it’s been long time for back to watch 😆(sorry i don’t good in english)
Just imagine how terrifying it must be to see the Beast's Claw wrapping around your world!
Great show! Best watched in 2024 at 1.25 playback speed when things move a bit faster nowadays
I remember never watching this, but wanting to every time I saw the commercials. I was obsessed with Reboot, BW, TFArmada, Zixx-Level 1, Zoids, etc.... Man, too much goodness back in old YTV.
Been looking for this forever!!!!
Me too!!!
These guys had worse aim than storm troopers.
you would think
At least they don't have a brain, so its kinda justified
Their weapons are more powerful and they are more harder to kill
These guys are an upgrade over Stormtroopers
Welcome to fiction
Sergio Gerard 😂🤣😂🤣
This is Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar and Starship Troopers combined.
Thank you Mister Daniel Gomez !!🤩
Yes ,bring back my childhood please , one the best
My God! I remember but forgot about it until seeing a post on Facebook. So this show got canceled after one season? Which sucks because I loved what I got to see of it. It was so good.
I think the first part to this episode pays homage to the scene in Transformers The Movie. Both monster planets travel between two gigantic stars before consuming their victims and their homeworlds.
Thanks for uploading these! I watched a few episodes when I was little. It was dubbed and I don't remember the show's name nor the characters, only some plot points. Glad to be able to finally find them and revisit my childhood.
this gets awesome after the first few minutes
Grate show good massage about together we can beat are enemy..I remember many years ago.
I remember watching this as a kid such a great show 😎
So much of this reminds me of Babylon 5: The font used in the credits, the mood and sense of the soundtrack, and overarching theme.
Cool cartoon ever made I love shadow raiders
I finally found the name of this show on WatchMojo's recent top 10 list. I can finally get some closure on a part of my childhood!
Pretty cool awesome sci-fy show! I didn't knew it! ;) It reminds me Mass Effect games whereas the mystic music reminds me from Black and White video game.
Bro i was searching for this for so long I even forgot its name and now a finnaly found it yeaaaaaaa this was my childhood so much nostalgia I am going to cry man 😁😁😃😄😭😭
Now I see where Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, got their inspiration on their Phantoms. @13:28.
have the full series on dvd...still think this was one of the best shows ever aired... yes, it might look a bit dated by todays cgi standards but the story was awesome... pity that the third season was never produced,
Scott Mantooth Yeah, the 2nd season set up for a third so well but never happened. Depressing.
The main problem with 80s and 90s cartoons is that back then there were so many that you had to sift through the jumble to find the good ones, as opposed to now when toons seem to be on the downslide and if want variety you have ot have access to anime.
Scott Mantooth some people are continuing the story with there fanfiction
interesting....might have to look into thiat
i never got how they got water, food, and fire before they even got to space to raid them
Their planets are artificial. I believe they were planted there by what ever made their world engines
The intro theme is beyond dope!
my childhood :D THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!
This was always such a strange series... But it had it's charm..
i can bet this series inspired MASS EFFECT.
It's my childhood
I first saw this on an awesome cartoon compilation DVD from a local library, and really got into it. Other classics to check out include Inhumanoids and Bucky 'O' Hare and the Toad Wars.
Crazy how I forgot about this show I use to watch as a kid. Wow
Been looking for this for years! =,') Love it just as much as I did then, maybe more now that I really appreciate it.
Why can't shows today be like they were in the past. Why is this better then like 95% of created media today
I've been trying to find this for 4 years, holy shit, It's just as bad as I remember and I love it.
A Awesome days and times watching Reboot-Shadow Raiders and Beast Wars all on YTV Back then as a sidenote the one that Voiced Adult Enzo Matrix also did a voice in this Short Lived Series as well.
Paul Dobson is so cool.
I want a videogame with such graphics. With this style, designs.
It just looks so fresh compared to today's Ultra Realistic 3D graphics or Pixar/Dreamworks Cartoony 3D Graphics. Modern CGI looks so... bland compared to this beauty,
=NOPE.......REMASTER THE ENTIRE CGI TO MODERN STANDARDS WITH LEAVING EVERYTHING ELSE AT PLACE
=...................THE SHOW IS FOR ALL AGES,THOUGH.........
I collected the toys, I had planet sand, my little brother had planet ice, so epic.
The design is all over the place but it got a bunch of good lines and the voice acting is pretty darn good.
Someone has a series I use to live watching finally
How did this not catch on!?!?
it first aired in 1999 an the net wasn't so main stream like it is now so alot of people didn't know about shows like this unless they watched it on tv
shadow2155 HOLY HELL I WAS BORN IN 1999!!!!!!!!!
thats why i never saw it i was a baby.
can you tell me what it was like then were stuff made scene
i know old games were hard as hell back then and i didn't know what the internet was either.
I remember watching this with my father and brother in ~2003. Compared to the garbage children watch nowadays, this is a masterpiece. Also, the animation reminds me of Ratchet and Clank.
thank you for these memories....... i used to love this
what a cool series i used to watch it as a child oh nostalga
Awesome voicing!
this was aired on my local tv station. that was 20years ago. Me and my siblings religiously waited for it every weekends.
I remember watching this every saturday/sunday morning sometime around 99-00. It replaced beast wars slot
2018 here. How I remember how this show blew me away as a kid
Thank you for bringing this to us. 😎
Is it okay if I cry? I'm gonna cry anyway.
I miss the time when stuff had meaning.
ive been looking for this for so long and now ive found it uploader your a god
