Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors ( French: Jayce et les Conquérants de la lumière ) is a French-Canadian cartoon series in which two warring groups face each other. "The good guys" are human in nature and are called the Lightning League . On the side of "evil" there is a group of beings of organic origin, called Monster Minds , who mainly use green and black vehicles.
Since there was no background story for the characters and accessories from Mattel , which the series is based on, some characters were recreated for the cinematic adaptation and a corresponding story was designed.
action
Jayce is the son of the brilliant botanist Audric. Among other things, the humanoid girl Flora emerged from his experiments. Another result of his research is a kind of miracle grain that can thrive under any environmental conditions and is ultimately intended to end hunger in the galaxy . A solar flare transforms the miracle plant into an evil life form that bears the name Saw Boss. Other plants in Audric's laboratory are also changed by the stellar glow and turn into the Monster Minds. He then develops a weapon to destroy the evil plants. Still, he has to flee before he can even use it and divides the weapon in two. One part he keeps, the other he hands over to his confidante Oon with the task of ensuring the safety of his son Jayce.
Jayce later begins the search for his father Audric and the fight against the Monster Minds as the leader of the Lightning League. You use white and silver vehicles and the spaceship Pride of the Skies II . The Monster Minds, on the other hand, have a kind of climbing plant that meanders through the interstellar space and carries its germs to other worlds through its shoots, which quickly multiply into Monster Minds through rapid growth. The leader of the Monster Minds is Saw Boss .
Finally, Jayce succeeds - now reunited with his father - to destroy the Monster Minds.
