The Raiders Come to Life
One night, Jerry hears a dripping sound. Suddenly, the Galactic Raiders, Bakko and Gant, magically come to life! They break out of their boxes. They try to find out what is making the dripping sound. The Raiders use their cool gadgets to explore Jerry's room. They make a lot of noise, which wakes Jerry up.
At first, Jerry thinks he is dreaming. He can't believe his action figures are alive! But then, his sister Nicole also sees them. Jerry realizes it's true: his toys are special. He knows he has to keep them a secret from his parents and friends.
Everyday Adventures
Every episode gives Jerry new challenges. These can be school assignments or chores. They can also be everyday activities, like taking care of a pet or playing safely. The Raiders get very confused by these normal activities. They immediately think these tasks are big mysteries. Sometimes, they even think they are facing a scary villain!
Jerry, Nicole, and the Raiders work together through each challenge. They discover new and interesting things happening around them. The show teaches that things are not always what they seem. Simple everyday things can turn out to be amazing adventures.
