Synopsis
This is about a group of futuristic cowboys who carry sabers and battle evil throughout the universe. Under their leader Saber Rider, the dashing Star Sheriffs fight the evil Outriders, mysterious vapor beings who have perfected the technique of "dimension jumping." When they're defeated, they simply vaporize and rematerialize back in their own dimension. Much like "Voltron", the Saber Riders unite to form the Ramrod Equalizer Vehicle, transforming into a formidable fighting machine that protects them against the Outriders and other evil forces. Alone, they are awesome. Together...they are invincible.

Production notes
This TV series ran for 52 episodes.
When the series was adapted for United States release, story editor Marc Handler made teen Texan Colt the hero, relegating Japanese youngster Fireball to sidekick status. In some dubbed scenes, other characters look at Fireball while listening to Colt.
To remove depictions of teenage drinking, Handler edited out scenes of drunken behavior, and shifted many scenes from saloons to "coffee shops" and "soda fountains."
