From the creators of Voltron come Saber Rider And The Star Sheriffs! Saber Rider And The Star Sheriffs was a 1980's animated space western following a similar theme of The Galaxy Rangers and Bravestarr. Originally a 1984 Japanese anime series known as Star Musketeer Bismarck created by Studio Pierrot. The series is set in the future, when humankind has reached the stars. There are many outposts and settlement worlds in the galaxy with Old West influenced names. There are also outlaws, bounty hunters...and sheriffs. Saber Rider is leader of the Star Sheriffs. The Star Sheriffs are the special operatives of Cavalry Command; their main assignment is to protect the Galaxy from the growing threat of the Outriders. Due to the escalating menace of the Outriders, the Cavalry Command is forced to create Ramrod (voiced by Peter Cullen who voiced Optimus Prime in the 80s cartoon series Transformers), designed and constructed by Commander Eagle, and his daughter, April. Ramrod can transform from an airborne battleship into a giant robot. When Ramrod undergoes the "Challenge Phase" transformation it calls out its rallying cry in a heavy western drawl,, "Head 'em up, move 'em out. Power stride and ready to ride!" Volume One consist of episodes 1-17 from the hit TV series, as well as never before seen extras and production art.
