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!
"Flint Graveheart" is just, the coolest name.
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.
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.
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.
Templin is doing SHADOW RAIDERS!?! What a time to be alive
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 never thought anyone would ever do any deep content on War Planets/ Shadow Raiders. I love that Templin did this! Thanks guys!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
BRUH, childhood nostalgia just hit me like one of those mining trucks!
I'll be ok, I'm just a miner after all...
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.
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.
Gotta say I wasn't expecting you guys to do shadow raiders, loved this show as a kid
WOW. I did not expect this franchise to show up here.
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
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 UA-cam for a few years.
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.
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 UA-cam. So, you can now catch up on the show.
I never thought you would cover this classic animated series. I used to love this cartoon so much. So dark, so kickass. Awesome job
Love Such series unfortunatelly Ended too soon :( :/
2023 and I didnt know I needed War Planets content. The world is healing....
This is the type of more obscure universe lores that I subscribed to Templin Institute for.
"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...
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.
The character and background designs look pure unadulterated badass.
This is really old. Brings back memories.
SHADOW RAIDERS! Thanks for bringing attention to this lesser known gem, enjoyed it thoroughly years ago 😊
This show is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the video
Shadow Raiders was a really amazing show, glad you're covering them. It had such a great worldbuilding!
My disbelief that anyone remembered this show is matched only by my delight that it was the Templin University.
I never thought that you guys would ever do this show.
You just made my day with this video. Thought nobody remembered that show. Thank you Templin Institute!! 🥺
Good lord this brought me back! I hope you do the other planets!
Dude, I looked this show! An absolutely forgotten gem.
Thank fucking god people still remembers the show. Thanks templin seriously
Loved watching Shadow raiders when i was in Primary school. Stopped aring and i forgot about it, then i moved onto other hobbies before rediscovering the show in High School. Since then, I've watched it 5 times and i still greatly enjoy this underrated gem.
Planet Rock. Party on dudes! 🤘
I have a vague memory of this show. Thank you for showing it.
I love how you guys always find these little known or forgotten stories to explore; it's heartening in some way that just makes me have to say thank you.
Sincerely hope you cover the rest of this series, It dosen't get the recognition It deserves
Whoa, this takes me back to a show I only managed to catch occasionally, but still remember for its unique universe
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*
Holy carp. thank you, thank you, THANK you for putting this episode. I remember this show really fondly. I am crazy enough to hope for either a reboot or a continuation of the story. This was one of the series that made me fall in love with science fiction in general.
A video on Shadow Raiders: that's one hell of a Nostalgia bomb.
I am so glad someone else remembered this IP. I had most of the toys. I still do, in fact.
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
I also remember this... I use to watch on TV when I was kid
So happy others recall that awesome show.
If only they had continued it.
Man, I haven’t thought about War Planets in a long time.
It's fun taking the elemental planets trope to the extreme. :)
Honestly, this series of uploads should qualify you guys for an Order of Canada.
This is now my new favorite sci-fi universe
Welcome to the Fandom
I love that show as a kids.
God I haven't seen this show in decades, I haven't thought about it since maybe I was in my early 20s when I tracked down the full series. It was such a hidden classic and was always a pleasure whenever I happened to catch it when I was younger.
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
Holy moly I can't believe you are doing a video on one of my favorite shows. I'm surprised people actually remember this show apart from me. Really wish the series got to continue
(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!)
Aww, Shadow Raiders, loved that show.
This opened up a long calcified party of my brain.
Shadow Raiders aka Mass Effect for kids! Outlasted the toy line it was made for with superior story telling!
I loved this series.
I had the toys and remember playing with my cousins as a child.
I bloody loved this show!!!
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
Absolutely loved this show as a kid.
I only remember planet Beast showing up. I didn't know it continued past it!
Shadow Raiders was such a great show...
one of my favorite shows !
Well, I’m adding this show to my must watch list!
You'll love it
The nostalgia thank you
Wooooooow! This one takes me waaaaay back. 😁
Same here.
I haven't seen this show in YEARS.
I loved this show to the bone. Holy Goucamoly... ^^ Great to see something about it with you.
Whoa. I did not expect Shadow Raiders being covered. I wish the series had a reboot
Oh the nostalgia.
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.
This is a great story.
Now this is some oldschool shit.
Holy crap you guys just unlocked a core memory
I had some of these toys in the 90s, ( technically just like 2 ) but I was unaware of the show until fairly recently
I have the Jade and Graveheart figures
OOooooh, an episode on Shadow Raiders / War Planets! That's awesome! Watched this every morning it was in first-run!
I have every episode, pulled from elsewhere on UA-cam, From Planet Tek... on Doomsday... to Planet Reptizar... on Doomsday. In all that series, I remember only once did Blokk ever stop the excited jiggling of his visible skull, but I can't remember why. Maybe the thought of a threat from his superior, Voyd? Voyd was the only thing Blokk and Lamprey feared. Deciding vote in all the Beast Commander meetings.
Voyd was an interesting character. I wish we had seen more of him.
"In all that series, I remember only once did Blokk ever stop the excited jiggling of his visible skull, but I can't remember why. Maybe the thought of a threat from his superior, Voyd?" No, Lamprey asked him to because it annoyed her.
@@SuperVladdrakula Ahh, thanks!
@@IffyJottere You're welcome. She said it during the battle of Remora. Voyd's "threat" was definitely a major factor, but, amusingly, in this case, he got more scared by Lamprey.
this is very kewl. I really liked Shadow Raiders // War Planets it needs more love.
This show! Thank you.
Only ever caught a few episodes of this one. Really good show from what I can remember. I didn't think anyone remembered it. So glad to see you cover this.
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.
Now I just need you to cover Battletech and Exosquad and that will get all my sci-fi cartoons.
Proof that myself and the Templin institute have the same algorithm
This is giving me big ReBoot energy.
i loved this show 25 years ago! I wish shout factory would put it on DVD.
I loved this show and along with EXO Squad where my jam.
A true classic.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Wow. Didn't see this coming. Really good job as usual Templin Institute!
I still watch this show. I wish there had been a third season.
