Barnyard Commandos is an action figure line that was produced by Playmates in 1989. A four-episode animated series was based on the figures the following year. Produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson, it features the vocal talents of S. Scott Bullock, Thom Bray, Pat Fraley, Paul Hreppel, John Mariano, Bob Ridgeley, Lennie Weinrib, and Danny Wells. However, the series was not successful enough to merit further production of episodes.

The property is based around the concept of farm animals who consumed radioactive materials left over from an abandoned military experiment, mutating them into hyper-intelligent, anthropomorphic paramilitary troops. This consists of two "hilariously harmless" opposing teams: the R.A.M.S. and the P.O.R.K.S..

À la suite d'une expérience gouvernementale, la nourriture d'une ferme a été contaminée par des rayons gamma. Les animaux ont mangé cette nourriture laissée à l'abandon par le gouvernement, et ont muté en devenant super intelligents, et en se transformant en deux troupes d'élite paramilitaires opposées. Les porcs se sont regroupés sous le nom de P.O.R.K.S (Platoon of rebel killer swine), et les béliers sous le nom de R.A.M.S. (Rebel Army of Military Sheep).
