This is so amazing considering the enormously absurd design of the mecha. It's just a damn robot inside a case that folds into a "cape", deploys the legs and that's it. Kudos for the animators that make something so silly look so cool.
Ramrod Original name: Bismark The Ramrod (voiced by Peter Cullen in imitation of John Wayne) was developed by April Eagle as the technological "miracle weapon" that would allow humans to counter the threat of the Outriders. - Wikipedia
It's interesting when you slow this scene down. I know I'm probably overthinking it, but it looks like the floor of the Ramrod's cockpit mode, is the ceiling for Challenge Phase, which is what allows the pods to reconfigure between the two modes. Either way, as I kid, I loved scenes like this, and thirty-five some years later, I still do.
in Bismark the team leader is the red "ranger", in Saber Rider they have upset the hierarchies and is the black "ranger" (which then being a Japanese series follows the color code: red - chief, blue - deputy chief usually taciturn and who questions the boss, black is usually the "fat" or the little boy and pink is the girl

If I had a nickel for every time Peter Cullen was in an English Dub of an 80s Super Robot Anime, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

The Development of Saber Rider was quite different from most 80's adaptations, to fit the alterations made in the adaptation for western audiences several new scenes and 6 original episodes were produced to make sure the modified plot would tie up the majority of its plot threads in a ay that made sense.
I love Peter Cullens but I'm tired of the story about his brother. All his 89s work, including you know who is just a worn out John Wayne. At least Welker was honest in just saying, it was a job.
It's the electric guitar that really set everything in this show off so hard. What a great show. lol

Now we know why Ramrod never lost. In there somewhere is Optimus Prime!

Yes
I know when I hear his voice, everything is gonna be OK
I think Ramrod was destroyed at some point in the episodes and they made Ramrod 2 but I might remember it wrong, it was like 25 years ago for me 😂

Get it out of your *Sparks*
I would have gone with Star Convoy rather than Metroplex, myself...
I loved this cartoon! But it never occurred to me that Ramrod sounded just like Optimus Prime. Peter Cullen is the GOAT!
Omg! This robot is my pencilbox when I was a child! Never knew it has an anime to it
Actually its the best of the best animé of all time for me!!! Grew up with that animé
Really? OMG!!! 😲 😅
Heartbreaking story 😥
You missed out, this was the real deal back in the day. This and voltron.
This is so amazing considering the enormously absurd design of the mecha. It's just a damn robot inside a case that folds into a "cape", deploys the legs and that's it.

And the cockpit somehow doesnt exist and there is a robot head in it

True, true...
"Acknowledged April!" 😎

Awesome my childhood, gives me chills. Greetings from Germany.
To be fair, the RTL2 dub was better than the original American voice-over.
@TAURON85 Didn't have Peter Cullen though.
Ramrod
Original name: Bismark
The Ramrod (voiced by Peter Cullen in imitation of John Wayne) was developed by April Eagle as the technological "miracle weapon" that would allow humans to counter the threat of the Outriders. - Wikipedia
I forgot that April's last name was Eagle, since her father was Commander Eagle.
What a coincidence. My name is also commander eagle.
@@rays5163 My dog is named Betsy Eagle, she is a beagle.

The control pods move from the cockpit to the head of Ramrod in challenge phase. It was too cool to watch
I know i aint the only one having Goosebumps when the Muaic hits and Ramrod starts talking......
my favorite part of the whole transformation is the tealking and background music/sound effects. Everything from "alright..." when she starts talking.
in Bismark the team leader is the red "ranger", in Saber Rider they have upset the hierarchies and is the black "ranger" (which then being a Japanese series follows the color code: red - chief, blue - deputy chief usually taciturn and who questions the boss, black is usually the "fat" or the little boy and pink is the girl
i just put this on loop. love watching it
Peter Cullen said he based his Optimus Prime voice on John Wayne and now here I get to see his John Wayne impression for Ramrod! :)
I freaking loved Saber Rider!
Another master piece cartoon with great voice of Peter Cullen, i was a regular viewer.
If ever, there is a remake of Saber Rider vehicles and transformable Ramrod toys. I am sure their old fans would certainly buy them!
I have the OG Bismark, japanese version. Lost it long ago or got stolen
I know I will
It's amazing how many of these Peter Cullen did voice work for.
I so want a live action movie of those
Just make sure Michael Bay or Midnight Shamalan doesn't direct it

Every time this makes tears in my eyes. Where is the reboot or sequel like Heman?
I remember when the Netflix Voltron show was over I was wondering if DreamWorks was also going to make their own Saber Rider series
You really want them to ruin your childhood?
Did the same guy voice Ramrod as Optimus Prime?
Yup, same guy
Yep that is indeed the great peter cullen. He was also one who voiced the opening of voltron defender of the universe and also voiced the king in that series. He voiced ironhide and the sad donkey on winnie the pooh
@@knight2976able And he was the voice of KARR in Knight Rider.
@@justinhillenburg9286 and the robot I forget the name on star sheriffs
yep, it's peter cullen. in this series he was the narrator, ramrod and nemesis 😄
Goosebumps every time this happens!
Haha same here!

I miss this show.
Me too

The one and only immortal Voice Actor Peter Cullen.
The voice behind Optimus Prime and #Voltron.
Always loved Ramrod, just as much as Optimus Prime.
The animation is so amazing.
Peter Cullen does a good John Wayne impression.
Peter Cullen was trying to sound like his brother Larry. John Wayne was a scumbag.
Cowboy themed Optimus Prime is not something you expect to find you need in your life....but when you find it, it's glorious isn't it? Lol!
I gotta watch this every year
Listen!!! I used to live for Ramrods Navigational Control Challenge which was rare and far between growing up as a child in the 90's
se me escalofria la piel cuando esté robot toma el control de navegación ❤
Damnnn there is nothing more coolest than this
love the music during the transformation.
love how ge has no idea how the thing works but still says “wait wait … now”. lol. Forgot about this show.
Saber rider knew coz he was trained from command base, it's fireball n Colt who didn't know about Ramrod until that first day 😂
I honestly dont know what just happened, but I heard THAT voice and now I must seek it out. Wish me luck.
Oh my HD, thanks.
Ah the good old days when they made good animations for kids, unlike today.
And with adult characters, with moral lessons which kids could learn from.
... His first life was optimus prime and his second was ramrod
The moment Ramrod spoke and channeled Optimus Prime, the desperado unit didn't stand a chance
Goosebumps!
Thank you so much
i was in love with april
"Σ' ΑΚΟΥΣΑ ΑΠΡΙΛΙΑ. ΤΩΡΑ ΑΝΑΛΑΜΒΑΝΕΙ ΔΟΥΛΕΙΑ Ο ΡΑΜΡΟΝΤ!" 😂
Ramrod: Autobots! Transform and roll out!
I just cried. 😢
I don't remember this but I think I've seen the robot in my childhood memories.
Almost as good as the German version, but only almost 😉👍😆
Schön gesagt
Ja, auf deutsch schon toll, doch in Englisch echt noch besser.
April: "There's no time to explain...."
... but there was enough time for her to change into her pink armor (in mere seconds).:p See time index 0:32.

I have shivers
I like how Ramrod has a red cape on. Lol
Goosebumps for real 😊
This shit made my childhood
Badass narration

Lightning all over the place 😂❤

So what's Challenge Phase 2 ? 😁
I am ramrod prime😁
Wait Optimus Prime??? Is that you????

Sounds almost like Optimus Prime
Ramrod sounds like Optimus Prime
same synchro Peter Cullen
Kommt in deutsch viel besser rüber 🥰

German dub is way better. What a legend.

All his 89s work, including you know who is just a worn out John Wayne.
At least Welker was honest in just saying, it was a job.
let's be honest... April's dub was pretty bad without any emotions 😅
The German Version is way cooler
Was this show like a voltron rip off?
