'''Skysurfer Strike Force''' is a syndicated cartoon show that aired on the Amazin' Adventures cartoon block (later renamed Creator/{{BKN}})[[note]]Which distribution company Bohbot Entertainment would later adopt as the company's name.[[/note]]. Created by Creator/RubySpears Productions, this series ran for two seasons from 1995 to 1997. It was Ruby-Spears' final production before closing down.

* {{Animesque}}: As with Ruby-Spears' ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' series, the animation was by Creator/AshiProductions, meaning that a Japanese anime group is acting as the animator of a American-original superhero animated series.

->''"When a mysterious explosion destroys an artificial intelligence lab, Adam Hollister is framed - his son, Jack Hollister, sets out to prove his father's innocence, that someone else had caused the explosion and had stolen an experimental computer brain; merging it with his own brain, he transforms into the master criminal known as Cybron. To fight Cybron and his evil Bioborgs, Jack Hollister becomes Skysurfer One, leader of the Skysurfer Strike Force."''

* TransformationTrinket: The Digitrans. It doesn't even require a [[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchman code phrase]]; they just tap it, there's a brief, dramatic light show as their battle gear forms, and they're ready to go. It also permits video calls.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Sliced Ice after she was enlarged and brainwashed by Cybron in "Titan of Terror".

* FlyingCar / HoverBoard: The Skysurfers' all-purpose vehicles, which can change from civilian cars to flying surfboards.

%%* TransformationTrinket: The Digitrans.

* ReplacedTheThemeTune: The first season TitleSequence used an InstrumentalThemeTune as musical backing for the OpeningNarration. The second season retained the visuals, but replaced the narration and background music with an original, and less heroic-sounding, song by Japanese funk metal band Super Junky Monkey.

As the OpeningNarration above explains, the series featured a titular team of five heroes. Led by Jack Hollister aka Skysurfer One, the Skysurfers fight show BigBad Cybron and his Bioborgs to stop his attempts at world domination and clear Jack's late father Adam's name. The Skysurfers used technologically advanced wrist-worn Digitrans that transformed them from their casual clothing to battle gear and weapons. During the transformations, their cars transform into rocket-powered surfboards that they can ride in the air.

* FlyingCar / HoverBoard: The Skysurfers' all purpose vehicles, which can change from civilian cars to flying surfboards.

* HenshinHero: The Skysurfers used their Digitran devices to transform from civilian to hero.

* ActionBomb: One of Cybron's mooks was a living bomb who could blow himself up, then reform unharmed. [[ButtMonkey It was rarely effective]].
