Ring Raiders Intro

[TheRok99]

The command...is indeed...in my hand

[veradinx]

Anyone else notice the odd fixation 80's cartoons had with rings? Ring Raiders, Dinosaucers, Captain Planet, etc..?

Kids, don't forget your POWER RINGS.

[gautsid]

I haven't seen this show/title sequence in over 20 years, but I remembered every word/beat from this song.

The human brain's a funny thing.

[gfimadcat]

Damn I remember that, awesome show :)

[Kinvarus1]

I remember this cartoon :D

[OmegablueWolf]

i had the Ring Raiders F-5 up until like last year.....when some one stepped on it........

[ShinKyuubi]

I too remember this show and to be honest I think alot of the old shows had better intros and music than what we got now...and I really want that f-n jet that goes from Tiger stripes to pure steel. I remember I first saw that happen I was like "whoa..." I was 7 at the time and loved it..now if only I could find the old VHS I had of it from when it first came out T_T

[captainharlock80]

Ring Raider, M:A.S.K, He-Man. Transformers, Bravestarr.... ahhh wonderfull times ....

[MrDCWood]

This actually existed as a CARTOON! I thought it was just an excellent toy franchise with awesome miniature jets attached to rings! I had no idea there was an animated series!

[Hotshotter3000]

@MrDCWood Guy, in the 80's, if it was a neat toy, it had a cartoon about it. It's that simple. I mean they even had a cartoon about Rubik's cube

[MrDCWood]

@Hotshotter3000

A rule that is known to me through Transformers, Thundercats, He-Man, Bravestarr, M.A.S.K. etc. Just never knew it was applied to Ring Raiders.

By the way...I just saw a clip of the Rubik's cube. Oh, my good God...

[MysticArksRevenge]

@MrDCWood I also think this was an excellent toy franchise. The animated series existed, its just they only made 5 pilot episodes and nothing else.

[insanelewis21]

i wanna be a ring raider! X-D

[elvnsword]

I remember this, I had a few of the toys, they come on the lil tings, and you could run around with the planes sort of posed on the ring.

Had a couple of episodes on VHS around somewhere...

[SteelAngelJohn]

Holy crap. I remember this. I had the toys!

[Nalebranc]

Wow, totally forgot about this show!

[Jboog006]

Were faster than EVIL!..Were faster than CRI- IME!

[ShroudedFury]

I used to LOVE collecting the little jet fighters as a child xD

[theblacksheep1000]

DAMN, FUCK SAURON AND HIS SHITTY RING!! LOL !

[leontank]

i always loved this show, but they didn't air it much in holland....

[w0lfparad3]

i literally JUST randomly remembered trhis. used to watch it when i was like 6.

[Nickelplate1]

My mom hosted me a Ring Raiders birthday party one year. She was so disappointed that it was all one big commercial. I still have the toys somewhere.

[picoaga]

why from 0:22 to 0:38 reminds me of ROBOTECH???

[frankzilla1970]

wtf happened to saturday morning cartoons like these? after the mid 90's they blew

[pmorrisjr20]

Dude I'm 30 and i remember having these things and watching the VHS over and over and over. This show was amazing.

[ActraiserIII]

Awesome lyrics, "faster than love.... faster than time..." Well. I guess time hasn't completely left the Ring Raiders behind. If you'll pardon my pun.

[SGarman89]

OMG this was my VERY first cartoon i ever seen!! made my subs go nuts lol good times good times

[qbsacker5394]

had the VHS' love it!!

[kranktank]

what are their abilities? not real clear from the intro

[trottben66]

Damn I remember these toys. Had em all. An unfortunate title for the cartoon though.

[wrinkledlemon]

I still have that F-4, SR-71, and A-10 (with broken tail) Ring Raider toys !

[dialchemy]

@d1rango ]

[WereCrow]

Holy shit Ovo for an 80s saturday morning cartoon intro this is fucking epic

[docdoom187]

@WereCrow yeah, it is epic. in the 80s, it was extremely common for cartoons to have epic music and epic animation for the intros. Other cartoons with awesome intros are Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (this is probably the best music for an 80s cartoon, ever), Thundercats, Silverhawks, and Dinosaucers! and of course, a whole bunch of others.

[GFBNews]

very homo erotic name

[ereetos]

i still strip down to my ring raiders undies and eat popcorn in front of the tube to this day

[cpilzi27]

:-)

[madloz76]

Ring Raiders hmmmm. It's just as funny as Ram-man or Fisto. Ah 80's gold.

[nomnoms1]

oooommmggggggggg. My sister and I would watch this all the time. It was ahead of our time but we had the old VHS lying around and LOVED IT!

[officialalbdamned]

Ha ha Ring Raiders so innocent in the 80s

[Renrussian]

I used to have those rings and i think bracelets with those aircrafts attached to it.

[Talismanin]

the good old time :)

[rattatat7978]

i remember this cartoon as well.....it was better times then. Thanks for bringing back memories

[sonep511]

did anybody ever have the toys?

[grako76]

PMSL!!!!!! i have never heard of this.......they sound like a bunch of aggresive homosexuals

[tigg0riz0r]

I had a lot of those toy aircrafts with rings attached :D

[TheBlitzgundam]

It'd be awesome if they modernized this!

[MysticArksRevenge]

@TheBlitzgundam I bet it would!

[Fillistar]

I remember the toys

[TheMrWestminster]

Not mutch thought went into the name i mean,, Really? Ring Raiders? Ring Raiders Vs the Bum Bandits? Or The Ass Pirates?

[TheDigitalGeisha]

@TheMrWestminster  LMFAO>..

[700gsteak]

So badass. This is too hardcore for the kids of today

[sortedevaras]

Just found my little black p-51 toy of the evil ghost dude. . . damn our old cartoons kick so much ass.

[squirl69420]

I remeber this. I even had some of the toys and a Ring Raider luck box.

[scott5Co77]

i thought i dreamt this up! i was afraid to type it into google lol glad im not the only one who remembers this :D

[Jermyn78]

Ring Raiders? Sounds like a group of gay guys.

[tattooyou18]

@Jermyn78 haha it kind of does, i do remember the show though

[henryyydarkkk]

FASTER THAN EVIL

[solidusreaper]

[mjnoir1]

i love how these 80s toons had these bad pop song intros.

[solidusreaper]

@mjnoir1 if you mean fucking awesome by bad then yes lol

[LuckyCoyotes]

I had one of those ring toys! Ahhh, nostalgiaaaa..

[harveysuperboy]

Oh man I so remember this. And now I feel so OLD.They don't make them like this anymore.

[diejango]

[buckshothicks]

[diejango]

[noahsarcooo]

[aeren944]

Whoa... they're faster than evil!!!!

[RadarKat73080]

[dialchemy]

Ring raiders 8 is a good film, if you`re over 18 that is.

[SaberLeoConvoy]

@dialchemy lol

[dialchemy]

@SaberLeoConvoy :-D

[cdbils001]

@dialchemy

lol

[dialchemy]

@cdbils001 :-D

[drewswift]

yup your alone here unless they had some stupid toys that you shot of a ring then no i don't rember it

[XsixstringsamriX]

I dont remember the Cartoon....But i do Remember the Toyline..... you had these plastic rings with a plane on them....it was kinda cool but a little weird

[fraser182]

I remember this!!! I had the VHS tape with an episode (very first episode). With every VHS tape you would get a ring with a plane on it. I had a silver plane - good guy. Hehe!

[quenchedinlife]

dont think a show would get away with 'ring raiders' as their title now!

[tdog2210]

well i think you are not the only one that knows these old cartoons like fang face or ring raiders, i used to look at marineboy, gigantor (black white at that time) flintstones old one also Black white, and ( 8th man, mister ed, Machale Navey, Gillians island, Combat T.v show, green honet, the first Batman show, Lost in space, and the first Star trek part 1 without Captan kirk, mayberry , and other that you may not know

[kojirotakamashi]

This show was awsome.

[londea88]

What was the one where they ride on sabertooth tigers a mamoth all with weapons on their backs?

[K4rt80y]

You're thinking of Dino-riders.

[ali1904]

was crazy abt the ring toys hahaha...

[coolpilot2001]

this was from better times.

BETTER TIMES.

[gruumish]

lol I remember It I loved it as a kid

[JBishop0074]

Never heard of it

[rickzmoc]

iv still got my ring raiders my kids will b playn wit them soon enough

[CitrusOrientizal]

Damn there fast

[ssithl]

not just you matey ... I had the feature length 'intro' movie for this... :3

[npi606]

Thats when all u have to do is wake up n da mornin n get a big bowl of cereal!

[rtrcorbrtr]

haha "faster than evil". Loved this when i was a kid.

[kendon81]

cool cartoon based on a really shit toy line.

i loved when the planes transformed, but it had the worst baddies in any cartoon every they were so shit it was embarrassing

[Ecchiman]

You're not the only one dude. I remember this very vividly: it got me into rings.

[stefanrvandervelden]

G*D D*MN i really loved this shit 20 years ago!!!

[itch135]

HOLY SHIT i fucking loved this show when i was a kid.

[dstroy]

Geez, this intro sure takes a long time to show what the rings actually do.

[djbennyboy1986]

I miss these cartoons. This is when life was so much simpler and more fun...

[Misterioso]

I can see why "Those Characters from Cleveland" picked Peter Chung to animate their series, they were going for a Egon Schiele-esque look to sell airplane toys to children.

Who? What?

[Lusth0g]

Guess this was the moment when little Lusth0g decided to join the german airforce when he´d grown up...

But I guess none of those Ring Raider Guys had to fly a lame Transall ain´t it?

[lakesyful]

NO ONE i know remembers this!! Love it

[nase666]

EPIC!

[lilcenzo]

oh shit, i totally remember the toys

[RJLeffmann]

Lyrics misheard as "Ring raiders! Work on that smile! Ring raiders! Let the man cry!". But with a title like "Ring Raiders" who can blame me!

[tuggray]

"A lot of static general. :D"

yeh i remeber this show :o

[fortykebabs]

yeah I had the video and a few of the rings,It only lasted for about six months but its still burned into my memory like starcom.

Fater then love and crime..........thats handy

[txdx]

i member this

[maxtonne]

I've still got a special edition video tape of this and quite a few of the toys too. Wonder if they're worth anything, not boxed but in good condition, with planes, rings and the plastic stick to connect them.

[krwdserfur]

man that show was so awesome, and I had a handful of the toys as well

[MJKnight07]

'The Command is in my hand'

[iamadamsusername]

Dont remember the cartoon, but i had a few toys. That Tiger print plane for one!

[TTOTheTrueOne]

I LOVED the toys

[bullet0lad]

yes it was awsome but say that u love ring raiders now and u'll get a slap lol

[RogueAndroid]

One of my favorite 80`s cartoons!

Thanks for the upload!

[andywhiteley1]

my brother had the big ship/plane and we sneeked a peek the night before his birth day when we were young bt got a caught and got a gud screamin at!!!

[MRCAB]

Wow, don't remember this at all.

[jarheadcharon]

Ho-lee hell.... I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this show.... whoa

[RotSman]

I remember seeing the pilot, but they didn't show any more episodes in my area, so I went back to Robotech.

[bigshoewc]

Ohhh man!! I used to LOVE these!

[richluke24]

Ring raiders how gay does that sound, like they raid ur ring lol.

[29Gixxer]

lol

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Top Gun wishes it could've been half this good.

[ScottyTheBullet]

I had a whole bunch of these toys - rings with little jets on them.

[OfExecution]

Mannnnn this cartoon didn´t show manny episodes but I remember that I loved it once I saw the first episode. I never understood how the airplane could change lol..:D

[Symos]

Existed only in pilot form if I recall (no pun intended)

[welshdave82]

omg this is awsome i had like a promo video when i was younger with 1 or 2 episodes on i think the vid may have been with a few of the planes, i remember the 1st episode explained how that guy in the tiger shark plane was transported to the future he was a ww2 pilot if i remember correctly, it was an awsome cartoon and you could buy the huge plane carrier aswell to land the lil planes on :D ohhh good times

[HipHopJun]

Lol, i had that same tape! and it had commercials advertising the ring raiders toys, rings, landing pads, etc.

[ryanperryjasper]

Holy shit... Been YEARS since I've seen this! Always humming the damn theme though.

[wompastomp]

Christ! I remember watchin this when I was about 4. Had some of the toys an all...Blimey what a flashback!

[BloodWind]

Hmm...never heard of it. But this looks like something I would love. It kinda screams 80's haha!

[Bladestar7]

I never even heard of this cartoon. when did this come out?

[axelrobm]

dude...you are my HERO for putting this up.

[olivermichael88]

this and tale spin are the reason im a pilot today!

[Marmalade000000]

Could you possibly upload full eps of this??

[goldfries]

one of the most boring and least memorable cartoon of the 80s, it only looked cool a bit cos of the jets.

[brasukart]

I had the little toy planes but never knew, by living in Brazil, that there was actually a (lame) cartoon about it. They were planes stuck on little rings I think.

[juliox9]

more slow-ass intro i ever seen, como one ring raiders there is a fucking alert and you are moving you sorry asses like nothing is hapening, and how the fuck eats boblegum in a airplane

[DrunkenBuddhaFist]

I'm sure previous commentors must have made jokes about it, so I'm not going to do that, but I will still say it is THE funniest name for a kids TV show! (Though I obviously never thought of that back in the day)

[Kipkameel]

They fight against the Skull Squadron. I also think Dutch TV had a different intro, because I am sure Skull Squadron flyer Mako was in it. I really liked the cartoon and toys. Unfortunately it didn't last too long on our networks.

[BabyFacedAssassin301]

that has to be the boringest least action packed intro ive ever seen

who are they fighting against?

[JonnyInfinite]

the giant anus

[EnnPloti]

i cant watch this video

wanting new friends e8

[ghostmachine]

the tape i have has commercials for other ring raider products. i would upload them if i could. they are insane.

[blackandred53]

nope...i dont remember this one bit haha

[OneManMilitia1]

hell yes! i got this on tape somewhere in the attic. time to do a bit of digging!

[Olster81]

stop it! i wont have you invading my ring!

[Kelnar7]

ring raiders pwn you all

[meatflavour3]

how phat is the bass in this

[gazmobile]

i know heyy its intense man :D

[kevskove]

i had the video of this WTF brain melt

[rhyzhenthioz]

Oh shit.. I have been searching this kick ass cartoon since i've forgotten the title. Love u Ring Raiders.

[gazmobile]

i know hey. this is one of my favorite cartoons but i only had one video tho so i never seen what happened on the rest of the episodes. absolute classic

[rhyzhenthioz]

lol really wow at least u had one hehe. as for the rest of the episodes i think there were lots of things happened. u know what, unforgettable animes or cartoons like this one brings unity to the world esp the die-hard-fans. i can't understand nowadays why cartoons are full of bullshits and shits everywhere. lol.

[gazmobile]

hehe i know . hehe im going to go look in the loft n see if i have it. if i do i swear to god im going out and buying a video player :D

[alohaoahu]

Holy nostalgia, batman!

[vgdan91]

this cartoon was awesome, been tryin to remember what it was called for ages.

[Bernarde0]

Geiler cartoon !!!!! alles andere ist shit !

[sbristol97]

THIS CARTOON WAS THE SHIT

[Gurneyo]

never seen it but it looks cool as fuck....the name in kind of a gay inuendo though lol

[vgdan91]

lol imi sure it wasnt intentional, i mean this was for kids

[darkxaur]

Great show, lousy toys if I remember rightly.

[RX800769]

I was searching for the football team too. This shit is pathetic. Whoever actually enjoyed watching this is a loser nerd who needs to die. People who enjoy this are immediately gay. Take this stupid video off.

[DefQon9]

This response says more about you then over this cartoon.

[GeneralHotuffy]

Yup, because those ten-year-olds who thought a show about time-traveling fighter-jets was cool where sure faggots.

[jsinh5kw]

YOU MEAN THOSE JETS TRAVEL THROUGH TIME?? I NEED TO WATCH THIS!!! good lord!

[spid33r]

hmmm

[destrilogy]

wtf is this. i was searching oakland raiders and i get this quier fag ball licker ring raiders piece of shit that should die in a grave without flowers. i hope the creaters of this ring raider gaylord shit go outside in the rain and wear a metal hat and get struck by lightning.

[ModgeDonkey]

don't be such a douche!!!

[lotus3211]

I remember too! Lol I loved watching this! Iv still got one video somewhere at home. Cool Vid by the way.

[nlmart]

you're not alone-- i grew up with ring raider too. woohoo!! :)

[Sbman10]

Great show. We had a video when I was a kid.

"Baron Von Claudeitz"

"HUH!?"

[Kanizatime]

I only saw one episode as a kid... there was a pilot with a little pet dragon. His plane crashed and he was lying in hospital. His little pet dragon was crying. That's all I remember :S

[crackie777]

also, if anyone has the air carrier justice toy sitting around in their closet i will give you 10,000 dollars and perform any sexual favor you desire. i always wanted one and mommy couldn't find one for christmas ;_;

[crackie777]

i've got the volcano episode on vhs sitting in my living room. definitely a time warp with all those commercials ROFLMAO PUN INTENDED CUZ THEY TIME TRAVEL LOLZ

[kendon81]

man i remember this

i was pissed when it never took off (heehee clever pun)

if anyone has any episodes or knows where you can watch then spread the word

[GIJoe173rdAbn]

I love how everyone claims to have seen this show yet it was never actually syndicated, only four pilot episodes were made

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

Ring Raiders...

...No subtle sexual references there...oh no...

[johnkenobi]

I too remember, as does a friend.

[looker768]

omg...I remembered this! What was the obsession with magic rings in the 90s? What is Captain Planet....and this.....

[xxPHOENIX80xx]

Faster than evil faster than crime! Haha. I loved this show when I was a kid. I especially liked the tiger print helmet XD

[crunkwun]

I use to love this cartoon. But come to think of it.... do you guys think the name of it sounds like a porno????
