Saber Rider - Ramrod Transformation

[zengetsu7]

Man, this sure takes me back to memory lane. Although Voltron's (lion force) transformation sequence is by far the best, but I also like ramrod's transformation for one logical reason: 'ITS OPTIMUS PRIME"S VOICE!'. Now how cool is that ('',)

[julianphelan]

The crap we used to watch as kids still beats the shit kids watch today

[werkinwoman83]

@julianphelan i totally agree. shoot, i'm an adult (sometimes lol) & i still enjoy cartoons, anime and such...beats what's on network tv these days with all of the reality shows. so inspired to draw now. :) 

[Desolator84]

lol, "we only have one shot"

looks to me like freakin' laser gatling barrage in the end

[Kouga09]

@Desolator84 maybe is because the series is a japanese animation or anime it was made back in the 80's i fotgot the exact date, the edition is so so, but in the end it was a really good series

[KamenDragon]

the series is great...but the synchronisation sucks xD...

[Verlier]

EPICNESS

[cechmateable]

i loved this show..when i was young and stilldo.I used to beg my mom so as to watch.That voice is.amazing.

[sastrabeng]

peter cullen 4 ever.... i used to hear this in my head every time i had to knock some fool of his feet when i was young,hehe....

[Snapscape]

Ramrod sounds so dirty.

[Jobe00]

Peter Cullen. A voice actor originally from Texas that can make any giant robot sound like John Wayne. See Ramrod and Optimus Prime for the best examples.

He was also the original voice of K.A.R.R. on Knight Rider.

[PsychoSpiral]

Now that I'm listening to the dialogue, I can't believe how slow they talk. They speak so fast when I was younger hahahaha! XD!

[taisui]

Oh~~

You all right, April?

Yeah, keep moving.

That does not sound right at all.

[dogbokka]

i remember this show as a kid growing up in the 80's. it was epic then as it is now. everytime he transformed i would completely nut out lol.

[mojame100]

Sound like Optimus Prime 

[rickewjr]

@mojame100 same voice actor.

[chinocracy]

@mojame100 Yes, that's Peter Cullen, he voiced the Ramrod Transformation notification.

[Kinhomeister]

Can you imagine Optimus Prime and Ramrod teaming up? :)

[tiga92001]

@Kinhomeister hell yeah!!

[RoninOmega7]

I miss this show soooo much and to make matters worse it never finished in my area

:(

[jetfire851]

Is that Cree Summer (Penny from Inspector Gadget, Numbah 5, etc.) as April?

[ILLRICARDO]

proof that peter cullens voice  goes with everything!!!! aknowledge april...Ramrod navigational control on!!!.. i wish i had peter cullens voice... it would make such a difference in everyday life.... imagine ordering pizza over the phone, sounding like optimus!!!

[lawrencealcantara620]

Cullen coulda went: "Ramrod, Transform and roll out!"

[thodkats]

ramrod challenge mode engaged !!! time for UBER PWNAGE initiated !!!

[arevaloanthony]

is it me or for a moment Romrod kinda sounded like petter Cullen the voice over of optimusprime. hmmm?

[Perf0Cell]

Robo Jesus + John Wayne = #Winning

[semysane]

Good god, it's Optimus Prime doing a John Wayne impression. SO AWESOME

[MajingaZ]

2:57 Ramrod can change day to night to day again when he uses the gun!

[mitsune13]

no wonder ramrod is awesome, it has the soul of optimus prime!

[xgamer25125]

1:14 Free button for conscecutive orgasms. You know you like it....

[MDthornton83]

Ramrod's voice is Peter Cullen. AKA; Optimus Prime, AKA Voltron Narrator. Cullen sure is a legend.

[SuperBravoOne]

@MDthornton83 ...and he is kind of doing a little John Wayne in there, which is hilarious

[dsrodc77]

@MDthornton83 Not sure why I never put that together. I was and still am such a big fan of those shows

[mojame100]

@MDthornton83 YEah, a very familar voice indeed.

[MDthornton83]

@mojame100 Imagine if Ramrod said "Autobots! Transform, and roll out!"

[LVSWTZ]

@MDthornton83 yep! the James Earl Jones of action cartoon voices

[ZECTCustomUnit]

@MDthornton83

You forgot the promoter of Toonami...

Gundam: Suit Up!

Outlaw Star: Wild West Y2K Style

...only Toonami.

[MDthornton83]

@ZECTCustomUnit Thanks for reminding me! I remember Peter Cullen's voice overs for those Toonami commercials!

[ZECTCustomUnit]

@MDthornton83

What were the other ones?

Ronin Warriors: The boys are back in town.

Tenchi: Love is a battlefield, love stinks

Cardcaptors: It's all in the cards.

Big O: Good guys wear black

Remembering those now want me to cuss out CN. Heck, Saber Rider needed some Toonami love, they gave Voltron Toonami love.

*fist shake*

[JayMauLIVE1]

@MDthornton83 was he also in the transformers movie?

[MDthornton83]

@JayMauLIVE1 Yep. Yep. Both the 1986 film and the Michael Bay films.

[MDthornton83]

Head em up... Move em out!

[deftonerrrr]

the most epic thing EVER <3 i grew up with this cartoon

[drupares]

the cartoon was awesome back in Japanese, i just hate terrible voice overs they did in english. not convincing at all!

[PlagueNeko]

@drupares But the awesome/sexy Ramrod voice! How could it sound terrible?!

[drupares]

@PlagueNeko in japanese, the robot didn't speak, really no need for it to speak. but peter cullen is the ish!

[MDthornton83]

@drupares Heh. As is the case with most anime cartoons that feature giant robots. The robots normally don't speak since they have to intelligence or will to do anything other than what their operators tell them.

[GadGades]

@MDthornton83 It's not exactly a robot show but this reminds me of outlaw star where the ship had an A.I. The ship did have robot hands and had hand to hand ship fights.

[MDthornton83]

@GadGades I remember Outlaw Star. And I believe it was released by the same company behind Cowboy Bebop.

[GadGades]

The characters in this show were so competent. I don't remember this as a giant robot show. Not saying I don't remmeber the robot just that the show doesn't give that vibe.

[sapogordoblogspot]

Adoro a voz do Peter C até me arrepia da unha do pé à raiz do cabelo.

[erique82]

"You only get ONE SHOT." ... The gun fires TWICE... o_O

[Whogaman]

I used to watch it when I was little. I loved it when Ramrod would say " Head 'em up, move 'em out!" I'm glad I found this on You Tube. Good stuff!

Peace Whoga

[Oracle69]

TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!

[fLaShyOUrLiFe]

since that, i call my dick cpt. ramalot xD

[TheWrongBrother]

if you like the left ... you will love the right ... :D

[theluke01]

"you need to push the button" "let's see what happens.." "it plays the cool transformation theme!"

[Makkoito]

She could also have said: "Fasten your seatbelts and quit smoking" XD

[Raven236]

Optimus prime ^^

[madwalker1]

Peter Cullen one of the best voice actor or perhaps best voice actor that grew generations with his voice (Transformers 1984,Transformers 2007-2011)

[GadGades]

@madwalker1 His voice is too distinctive at the same time it has a very powerful presence. Dude could make the phone book sound like the bible

[madwalker1]

@GadGades I do not think it is not too impressive, perhaps frightens people.... hahahaha!!!

However, the characteristic voice and why he chooses to give his voice and actual production. Respect Peter!!

[triuser]

@GadGades the voice i believe is peter cullen the same voice actor as optimas prime.

[mattparkman]

That is an awsome line.

I'm just gonna start saying that befor I go snywhere

.

"Head'em up and move'em out! Power stride and ready to ride!"

[JayMauLIVE1]

@mattparkman me too man. this show is one of my many faves . alongside teenage mutant ninja turtles, he man, ghostbusters (both versions), samurai pizza cats , galaxy rangers and many more. back then, cgi was never heard of, and we never did have guys like miley cyrus, katy perry and others singing out themes.

that's what we were all about. for entertainment purposes and nothing else!

[Gashie2]

Couldn't have asked for a better Ramrod voice than the one and only Peter Cullen!! Man, cartoons were so FRIGGIN awesome in those days!

[kwfine]

the worst voice actors ever

[Vlada985]

@kwfine You, sir, are idiot!

[kwfine]

@Vlada985

you were one of the worst voice actors in this anime. XDD you made me laugh

[jacobyne]

Ramrod: "Star sherifs, ROLL OUT!"

[angeletenz]

what about that cross on the left side of the robot's head, and the flags of the characters, geez. British rider on a swiss made horse, etc...

[Gashie2]

@angeletenz

...and to top it off Saber Rider says "soccer kick" instead of "football kick". C'mon Saber Rider, you're English! xD

Wished the American producers took a little more care with the tiny details (granted this was originally Japanese), but I'm thankful all the same for this awesome cartoon!

[HeavenXxX]

"Head em up, Move em out"

[doomthema]

we may only have one shot. *shots twice*

saber rider ftw!

[xservintage]

I used to think this was it! I still love the intro song. And they should make a good movie on it.

[mabszy]

Hey guys, I loved the series too. Please check my channel for the transformation in 3D. This series rocked!

[mabszy]

Thanks for the upload, I tried to draw the Ramrod transformation in 3D, check out my channel. Ofcourse, nothing beats the original.

[zarblade]

Saber Riders....TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!!! Peter Cullen's voice is amazing, no matter what he's voicing over. Damn this show was awesome!

[Kinhomeister]

Optimus Ramrod Prime xD

[Balcy90]

OMG this was one of the legendary cartoon ... so good ...

[Gundamknight100]

DUDE!!! This ramrod guy sounds like the original Optimus Prime!!! SWEET!!!

[Dynaman21]

@Gundamknight100 That's because it's the same actor.

[MythologicalForce1]

@Gundamknight100 Same voice actor, that's why. :)

[macross02081984a]

sounds like John Wayne doing the voice of the transforming ship

[smokescreen]

Peter Cullen was also the voice behind Gen Hawkins of the vehicle force Voltron, the narrator of the 2 voltron series and Optimus Prime in the G1 Transformers and the recent day Transformers movie... I just dunno why his death was so fatal during the 1st animated Transformers movie, why the star sheriff's command base is called Ramrod(maybe due to having Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime) as the chosen bearer of the Matrix of Leadership and well nothing can replace him as the voice of optimus prime...

[Arcrer]

Holy crap! Saber Rider is an English Gentleman in the English version? Charmed im sure.

[stivking]

Hell yeah, every time i saw ramrod appear and kick ass...it was like kids orgasm XD.

Seriously, this is one of my most favorite cartoons ever and this transformation was one of the greatest (still is) and that narrator for the computer system is sooooo RAD!!!! (yes i trully mean RAD).

[J4gm]

Voiceacting. That is all.

[BifordusMaximus]

I miss the days when cartoons were exciting like this. America ruined their cartoons. Japanime is where its at. Thats right, I said Japanime.

[mrmotinjo]

"I only have one shot!" *shoots twice* :) :)

[TrulyEvilBob]

1:08 "Saber Rider, you give the signal." "Okay, get ready... NOT YET!" *beep* "NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" *death*

[tom258svk]

the optimus is back xD god i like this old cartoons :( but i am so old for this stuff

[Vanky20000]

Head them up, move them out... xD

[cyberyanmar]

robo-django!

[AlluPL]

Ramrod & Daimos - two best robots EVER!

[kornkixassman]

when bandai's soc wants to issue this chogokin? it shoud be awsome! the vintage dx version are damn hard to find one!

[RDMacQ]

So this was a giant robot cowboy... VOICED by Optimus Prime???

No wonder this show only lasted for a brief time. The world couldn't handle such distilled awesomeness.

[overkillll]

@RDMacQ Indeedt. I know every generation thinks their_____will never be topped, but as far as cartoons go, we had a 6-wheel race car driver, a gunslinger, a sword fighter (with a rocket propelled cyborg horsehorse) piloting a super-sonic giant space ship that housed a giant cowboy robot. Voiced by Peter Cullen. @terradont I too weep for today's kids!

[terradont]

The sad part is that kids today doesn't watch this show. I weep for the world.

I mean, how is this not awesome in any way?

[JUZKILL]

his the only robots in my memory that HAS CAPE!!!!! COOL!~!

[smokescreen]

such a classic for peter cullen voicing Ramrod!

[Dreadnaught396]

"We only have one shot" *shoots twice*

[louisssGR]

LOOOOOOOOOL

[zengetsu7]

Head'em up, and move'em out! Yeah, Optimus (peter cullen) rules!

[stef300000]

I would like realy to see the uncut Japan episodes of this anime.

[TERACEPHIL]

me too!!!! in an new syncro with the old guys !!!!!

[murasakiahiru]

Just bought this series on dvd, not bad so far, excellent voice cast. I did lol at the fact the company uses Peter Cullen to sell the thing. "maybe if we mention TF it will=sales". Not that Im complaining the man is great at his job. Doesn't get credit though.

[brollicon]

just got the entire series on dvd its great i only wish wep brought the toys over and yes the kids today no nothing of good cartoons look at total drama island

[hellthunder666]

really don't like to say it, but it has a failure... april didn't had her star sherrif outfit first but when ramrod transforms she sits there with here pink costume =D

[Kagalei]

This show just made cool in my books, because of Optimus Prime during the transforming phase.

[Asadsevecsmorih]

I feel kinda sorry for kids today. When we grew up we had really great cartoons, and today they are watching some crap. I mean, Sponge Bob is the best cartoon they have, and that says enough.

[shadowsam619]

@Asadsevecsmorih Agreeded

[jubei455]

they tried for a john wayne voice more but still we knew it was more like Optimus Prime

[Ilkhan28]

Yep its Peter Cullen alright. He probably did alot of voice acting. :-)

[whoopdiddydo]

gayyyyyyyyyyyyy

[dhuhaimi]

who? you?

[Dynaman21]

It's Optimus freaking Prime as a cowboy Super Robot. Texas Mack has nothing on this.

[Fiddlewheel]

this series introduces me to the wonderful world of manga/anime, in an age of 8-9ish...

[Dronuz]

I love it when Ramrod says:

"Head'em up, move'em out"

Btw isn't that the same VA who does Prime in transformers?

[Sylanael]

Of coz ^^

[ParkMyungSoo1]

very good cartoon,how come now we have like sponge bob and square or some stupid cartoon.

[MsLightfire]

[HackneyShark]

God bless YouTube! Never thought I'd see this again!

[ShingoEX]

[jenggoy27]

i think optimus prime is the one who is speaking when ramrod is transforming..!

[vciguy76]

Your are correct Peter Cullen does the voice of Ramrod in the series. Plus he does the voice of Commander Eagle and Nemesis.

[BrainComm487]

@vciguy76 So the dude voices TWO of the coolest robots I've ever seen... wow!

[bacardipr05]
