The lead balls that could crush stone, exploded upon the metal desperadoes’ invulnerable siding striking the killer robots’ protective armor. The cannon balls did not even graze their targets, allowing these bestial butchers to continue to hack away at a nation’s hopes like rotten meat.

Dr. Satana’s prized robot, Iron Hand, used his furious fists to pummel more cavalrymen to dust. His mistress and creator watched gleefully as the golden spike became clutched in her hand.

Billy saw his ranger family once again facing death from evil forces bent on destroying the frontier. As Holt’s Rangers rushed to defend their commander and chief, and America’s salvation, Billy Steele realized he must once again call on his great Native American magic and power to save white Americans’ vehicle of progress and civilization. Holt’s Rangers sabers had no effect on their metal foes. Their swords were knocked from their hands during combat. And the soldiers’ bullets provided no challenge to these impervious, inhuman machines. The bullets bounced from their thick armor skin. Billy gasped in horror as he saw his adopted father and uncles of super troopers fall to the mercy of these killing machines.

During the confusion, young Billy Steele found a quiet clearing, took the magical black arrowhead from his cap’s band, raised it to his lips and shouted, "RAMSFEW," to the heavens. The kid ranger was fantastically transformed into The Lightning Warrior, who must save his family of Holt’s Rangers and his country from the ravages of this mechanized evil.

As the magical powers of the rain, animals, moon, sun, fire, Earth and wind surged through the kid ranger’s veins transforming him into the Native American wild, wrath of god, the seven deadly robots surrounded their Lightning Warrior prey.

Golden Gun blasted a giant fourteen-karat cannon ball at the legendary tornado rider’s head. Kaboom! But the warrior’s jaguar speed enabled him to bypass disaster and Golden Gun’s discharge instead struck the pointed lance from Silver Spears’ arm.

Golden Gun managed to fire a second shot. Blam! But the warrior’s magically endowed wooden shield deflected flaming ball and it struck Silver Spears, toppling him to the ground, where the giant robot rumbled the earth upon its impact.

"I am the thunder from God’s country, taking your world by storm," howled the Lightning Warrior as the rampaging robots advanced more cruelly. Although these are merely machines, they seemed to attack the symbol of magic and nature with a vengeance felt only by the most vicious of humans.

The warrior’s great white steed The Thunder Rider, galloped to his master’s side. The frontier firebrand then mounted his super stallion and charged the killer robots brandishing his Thunderhawk Tomahawk. Alloy Axes began to swing his blade at the warrior in deliberate challenge, but the cyclone of the saddle unleashed an energy beam at his heavy metal menace and Alloy Axes hatchets were blown from its arms. Dr. Satana quickly pushed a small button on an electronic box she carried and Alloy Axes blades reappeared deadlier than ever. The seven killer robots then hurled railroad track itself at the Lightning Warrior. He tried to fly away like the mighty hawk, but he soon became buried in wooden ties and steel tracks and beams as the robots continued their unmerciful assault. Iron Hand then lifted the entire Union Pacific locomotive over his head and crashed it upon the warrior in the ultimate act of destruction.

Tons of metal, coal and fire from the engine car and train smashed upon the warrior.
