Lesson plan
Computer Warriors
Computer Warriors was a toy line made by Mattel from 1989 to 1990. The storyline behind the toys involves a top-secret government computer which unleashes evil computer virus troops. These troops, led by Megahert, hide in everyday household objects and have the goal of world domination by taking control of computers. The government computer then produces antiviruses, the Computer Warriors, led by Romm to battle the Virus troops. The Computer Warriors tagline ran "Expect the unexpected!" Unlike many toylines of the time, Computer Warriors did not feature a tie-in animated series. There was only a single pilot episode, Computer Warriors: The Adventure Begins, which was syndicated on September 23, 1990, and later released on VHS. Directed by Bill Kroyer (who also co-wrote with Carl Macek) it featured his signature style of integrating wireframe CGI with traditional hand-drawn animation. Both the toyline and the series-pilot bore the alternate title "Computer Force" in Europe and the UK.
