The show featured two duelling forces. The "good guys" are humans, called the Lightning League. They drove white and silver vehicles with assorted weaponry, and are led by Jayce. The "bad guys" are organic green vegetable-based creatures called the Monster Minds, who tend to take the shape of black and green vehicles. They travel via large green organic vines which can grow in and across interstellar space, that sprout seeds that rapidly grew into further Monster Minds. They are led by Saw Boss.

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll try to sell you all my words
Singing about how outlaw songs
Ain't what outlaw songs were
And now I'm low down and drifting
As the bar room fills with smoke
I've been screaming like preacher
Wearin' out my throat at every show
I'm up with the midnight glow
Down around 3 AM
Then it's off to sing away my soul
But it really ain't a bad life
When I'm singin' for a chunk of Change
I play at every place in town
Still nobody knows my name
Yeah I play at every place in town
Still nobody knows my name
Boys won't ya sit down and listen
I'll try to sell you all my words
Singing about how outlaw songs
Ain't what outlaw songs were

The song is a poignant commentary on the challenges faced by aspiring musicians.

Boys wontcha sit down and listen
Please take a seat and pay attention
I'll try to sell you all my words
I'll do my best to convince you with my lyrics
Singing about how outlaw songs
My music talks about outlaw culture
Ain't what outlaw songs were
But the reality of that culture is not what it used to be
And now I'm low down and drifting
I'm feeling down and lost
As the bar room fills with smoke
The atmosphere around me is getting heavier
I've been screaming like preacher
My performance is loud and passionate
Wearin' out my throat at every show
I strain my voice on stage every night
I'm up at the crack of daylight
I wake up early in the morning
I'm up with the midnight glow
I stay up late at night
Down around 3 AM
But I'm not out all night
Then it's off to sing away my soul
I perform at every opportunity
But it really ain't a bad life
Despite the hardships, I love my job
When I'm singin' for a chunk of Change
I need the money to survive
I play at every place in town
I perform at every venue available
Still nobody knows my name
But I'm not famous yet
Yeah I play at every place in town
I'm really working hard
Still nobody knows my name
But I'm not giving up
Boys won't ya sit down and listen
Please take a seat and pay attention
I'll try to sell you all my words
I'll keep trying to convince you with my music
Singing about how outlaw songs
I keep talking about my culture
Ain't what outlaw songs were
But it's not the same as it used to be

@lycanmonster6192
Thundering across the stars,
to save the universe from the Monster Minds,
Jayce searches for his father
To unite the magic root
And lead his Lightning League to victory
Over the changing form for Sawboss.
Wheeled Warriors explode into battle!
Lightning Strikes!
(sung)
There's a power that comes from deep inside of you
'Cause every day you're reaching toward the light
And you know there's a long long way ahead of you
But when your wheels get you there,
Things will turn out right!
Just keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling
The fire is on--Wheeled Warriors!
Battle drums burning, wheels moving--Wheeled Warriors
Wheeled Warriors!
Cause we can just keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling
The fire is on--Wheeled Warriors!
Battle drums burning, wheels moving--Wheeled Warriors
Wheeled Warriors!
