Road Rover Tribute

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks.

[Warrior1984100]

This is an excellent video. I love the song and Road Rovers. That same cartoon inspired two of my original series. Both feature anthro dogs.

[JMDub89]

Epic show, epic song, epic win! :D

To the power of the pack! AROOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Phoenix1122]

@JMDub89 Thanks, man. I've always liked the song, and I thought it'd go well with the Rovers, since no matter how tough their missions were or who they were up against, they never backed down and always found a way to come out on top.

[Missqueenfairy]

I haven't thought about this show in a long time.

[Phoenix1122]

@Missqueenfairy As long as it remains alive in the minds of the fans, the show will never truly die.

[MDthornton83]

If I may, I'd like to make a few suggestions on what other songs you could use to make other groovy RR videos.

1. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Guns 'N' Roses

2. "You Could be Mine" by Guns 'N' Roses

3. "The Final Countdown" by Europe

4. "Back in Black" by AC/DC

[Phoenix1122]

I was thinking of using a song like 'Power Of Love' for a Hunter/Colleen vid. I do like the songs 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door', and 'Back in Black'.

[MDthornton83]

That's awesome. I love that song "Power of Love". I remember it from Back to the Future with Marty riding his skate board across the streets and to his house. In fact I think that'd be a great choice for a RR video. You think maybe you'll consider Knockin on Heaven's Door or Back in Black? Cuz those are great songs two!

[Phoenix1122]

I will consider those two songs, especially Knockin' On Heaven's Door.

[MDthornton83]

Awesome! Sorry for the late reply; but have you heard "You Could be Mine" is a good song two. Very energetic in fact. I believe it was used for Terminator 2. More spesifically the part where young John Connor was riding with his friend on the motorcycle on the way to the mall. And the song can just barely be heard in T4 when the grown up John lures a motorcycle robot straight to a trap he set up for it.

[Phoenix1122]

@MDthornton83

I might also use 'You're My Everything' by The Temptations, or 'You're The Inspiration', by The Vogues. Another song I'm considering is 'Now And Forever' by Bryan Adams.

[MDthornton83]

Awesome!

[Omnitrix12]

@Phoenix1122 I could think of a bunch. We need more new Road Rover videos on YouTube.

[MDthornton83]

Same here. You have no idea.

[EvMaggot]

YES! I have been trying soooo hard to remember what this show was called!!! Thank you :D

[Phoenix1122]

You're welcome. Glad I could help bring the memories back.

[nluetmer]

um phoenix 1122 that hunters new freiend episode was a hoax.

[Phoenix1122]

I know that...I really do wish they'd continued the series though.

[nluetmer]

@Phoenix1122 me too

[nluetmer]

youre welcome.

[Phoenix1122]

I appreciate the comments, thanks.

[nluetmer]

if the rovers encounter unicron and he transforms from planet to robot this is what hunter would say : yet another unexpected twist ....bummer. XD LOL!!

[MDthornton83]

Yes. I can imagine he'd say that. In fact, now that you mention it, I think someone should make a video of that!

[nluetmer]

you should make a road rovers tribute with the song dare by stan bush.

[nluetmer]

arise hunterus prime.(uses the matrix to destroy unicron) hunterus prime: till all are one!!!

[MDthornton83]

Well, I wouldn't compare Hunter to Optimus Prime. But he's still a good leader nevertheless.

[Konsker]

good and funny show

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the vid.

[Phoenix1122]

In that case, I wish you the best of luck.

[rjoleary1992]

Thank you,sorry for not replying sooner,I didn't get that one.

[Phoenix1122]

Keep hope alive, and maybe we'll both see our dreams come true...you could get a chance to do voice acting, and all Road Rover fans, myself included, might be lucky enough to see the series come back, or at least be put on a DVD.

[rjoleary1992]

Let's hope for the best my friend.

[Phoenix1122]

That's all we can do.

[rjoleary1992]

Yeah.

[Phoenix1122]

The other thing I'm hoping for...is that one day, this great series will be released on DVD, including the lost '96 Christmas Special ep. that we were promised, and maybe even the rumored 1st ep. of what would have been season 2, 'Hunter's New Friend' (I've heard about the ep. from various sites on the net), and I can clearly remember promos for the '96 Rovers X-mas special, but they NEVER aired it.

[rjoleary1992]

I see,rotten time to cancel it when things were just getting going.Know what I mean,for even when Colleen was developing feelings for Hunter on that last episode?

[Phoenix1122]

Road Rovers was owned by Warner Brothers, and created by Tom Ruegger. I wish they'd either bring the series back with new episodes starring the same cast, or at least bring out the 13 existing eps. on DVD. This cartoon was beautifully done all around, and it needs to be preserved for future generations.

[rjoleary1992]

I'll see what I can do if I succeed,but I don't know if it could happen yet.

[Phoenix1122]

@rjoleary1992 If the people at WB see how many fans want this show to be revived, they should at least be motivated enough to answer our wishes for a DVD set.

[rjoleary1992]

Well,I was offering to talk to them about it if I get into voice acting.

[rjoleary1992]

I might get into the voice actiong career someday,and if I hook up with the people who owned the Road Rovers,I'll ask if it's possible to continue or do a remake.

[Phoenix1122]

Me too...Hunter's my favorite Rover, followed by Colleen, and Optimus Prime is my favorite Transformer character, and they're both great leaders, so I totally agree with you comparing them.

[rjoleary1992]

A Quote to this movie:Arise Hunter Prime.

[Phoenix1122]

Haha...thanks for viewing, and for the appreciative comment. I'm a long-time fan of both Road Rovers and Transformers, and I thought that 'The Touch' suited them perfectly.

[rjoleary1992]

You're Welcome,and I thought Hunter Prime would work.

[vergil64]

this show was and still continues to be fucking awesome, wish they would bring it back

[Phoenix1122]

I love this show to this very day myself, and I'd love to see it be brought back, along with new episodes.

[BSfanboy113]

he has a license to drive that jet...a dog license!

[Phoenix1122]

Haha...one of Hunter's funnier jokes from the series.

[wrestlerbean]

Great vid, man I miss this show. I am in the military and I would still watch this show shamelessly.

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks for the comment, and I totally agree...I'm 29 and I'd still watch this show if it were to come back.

[Mrkennedy201]

Damn it, I miss it all.

[Phoenix1122]

So do I, man...this great show went WAY before it's time, and it's too bad...Hunter and Colleen really deserved a chance to develop their relationship further.

[Mrkennedy201]

Do you think it will ever come back? Its depressing when you think about it. Atleast it will always be in my heart and mind.

[KoditheHusky]

great

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[darkmischief1]

If all the 90's cartoons came back on a station I'd be watching it all the time, there's nothing like revisiting your past to give yourself inspiration for a better future.

[Phoenix1122]

How very true, my friend. If only they knew how to make decent animation like Road Rovers in this day and age, instead of all the trash that currently infests the airwaves, we'd all be a lot happier.

[jong4tv]

Great TV Shows then All dogs go to heaven the series !

[Flint2007]

If you want, check out my new RR video. Just a friendly reminder to the fans... ;)

[Phoenix1122]

I've seen it, and it's very good. Thanks again for commenting, and keeping the memory of this great show alive.

[Flint2007]

No prob. :)

I want to make as many as possible to help support this great show. We have been cheated so I want to help make that up.

[Phoenix1122]

Thank you very much, and I agree with you...Road Rovers will never die, as long as the fans remember it.

[Flint2007]

No problem. Everyone should make a tribute of their own for this show, like this one. I think that would be very cool. :D

[VTwinty]

Thats cartoons are so....damn....good! I rather watch this than that Loonatics Unleashed.

[Phoenix1122]

My thoughts exactly. Road Rovers went before it's time, and they even promised a 2nd season. It's too bad that nobody knows how to make good cartoons like this anymore.

[Flint2007]

As long as we keep talking about this show, we will have our wish. ;)

[csx5580]

this was a great show thanks!

[Phoenix1122]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, man. Road Rovers is so much better than the repulsive stuff that gets forced onto the airwaves these days.

[csx5580]

oh yes! i love cartoons, but the 90's was the best period for animation.

[KurtmanJP]

Great song and fits the Road Rovers perfectly! Exile and Colleen were always my faves!

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks for the kind review, I appreciate it!

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. "The Touch" has long been one of my favorite songs, and I agree that it's perfect for them, since they always come out on top, and refuse to give up, no matter what the stakes are that are laid against them.

[SimbasGuardWT]

I think this song fits Road Rovers nicely.

[colleen4ever]

Great song, awesome video! Fantastic job!

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Phoenix1122]

Hmmmm....I don't know what the problem is. Send me your email address, and I'll email the pic to you. Check my profile for my email address.

[Phoenix1122]

In response to Omnitrix12's question, I got that last pic, the one of Hunter and Colleen holding each other, from a site called Alethia's Realm of Rovers.

[Omnitrix12]

I went there, but I can't find it.

[MDthornton83]

That was an awesome video, man. I recognize that song two. That was one of the songs used in "Transformers: the Movie" from 1986. That's one of my favorite movies of all time. And Road Rovers came out 10 years later. The sound in this video was muffled a little, but its not so bad. I like the impact that it gave out. Great Job.

[Phoenix1122]

Thanks a bunch, dude. I'm glad you liked it.

[Omnitrix12]

P.S. Where did you get that last picture? I collect images of the Road Rovers and I'd like to add that one.

[Omnitrix12]

That's AWESOME! I noticed a number of shots (including one or two which I assume were fanart) of Hunter and Colleen. Do I detect a fellow fan of those two?

[Phoenix1122]

Yes, Hunter and Colleen are indeed my two favorite Road Rovers. I could tell that both of them liked each other, and I'm pretty sure that if the boneheads at WB didn't can this great show after just one season, their relationship might have developed further. However, we now only have fanfic and fanart to give us an idea of what could have become of these two wonderful character's feelings towards each other. As for the song, it's been one of my faves for a long time.

[Omnitrix12]

I know. It's hard to believe some people say that it's one-sided when Hunter has gone so far as to call Colleen "cutie" on one occasion. I'm writing some fanfics that are expand on the canine couple (or at least on the way I see them). If you'd like I'd be glad to let you know when my fanfics go up on the net.
