I loved "Transformers" - especially the "second generation"
I also enjoyed "Silverhawks"
EDIT: I have to admit that I was already 16 when I saw those cartoons during a 6-months stay in the US - if we had had such cartoon in Germany when I was younger I would have had a real blast.
Transformers, hands down. No cartoon has ever become as epic as it is.:2thumbsup:
Transformers baby!
Optimus Prime was my hero.
Also enjoyed Conan the adventurer very much.:2thumbsup:
Transformers
Transformers! still got the videos to this day!
Voted Other for Conan the Barbarian and Swamp Thing.
Thundercats !!!!
Transformers will for ever be the best cartoon...
I used to love how the Gobots cartoon never could quite match up... :laugh4:
Some others I used to like-
Jayce and the wheeled warriors (excellent theme tune)
Mysterious cities of gold
Pole position (another excellemt theme tune)
Centurions
Captain Planet
Galaxy hig
Mask
Uylesses 31
He-Man ftw. Also Transformers.. and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
:balloon2:Quote:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Oh that’s a good one.:balloon2:
Transformers! I still have an Optimus Prime toy?
Not strictly an 80's cartoon, but did anyone else like Biker Mice from Mars? I can't imagine what the pitch for that must have looked like...
'Ok, what's your idea?'
'Well, there are these mice...'
'Pfft, passe.'
'They ride bikes...'
'Keep talking...'
'And they're from Mars'
'Sold! Ten series!'
"Let's form Voltran ! Voltran ! Voltran ! Voltran !"
Aah, in Turkey one man did not have a childhood if he does not have an idea about Voltran. What a pity for those who could not watch it. Remembering days of childhood hurts..Though Voltran and the others like He-Man, Transformers and Ninja Turtles bring up good memories ~:)
The 80's? Gah!
How about the 60's and early 70's. :hippie:
Johnny Quest
Penelope Pitstop
The Banana Splits (not a cartoon but great)
H.R.Pufnstuf (the same)
Sealab 2020
Secret Squirrel
Yogi Bear
The Fantastic Four
Spiderman
Aquaman
Superman
Dudley Dooright
Hercules
The Marvel Superhero cartoons; Captain America, Iron Man, etc
Underdog
Atom Ant
Casper the Friendly Ghost
The Jetsons
The Flintstones
Heckle and Jeckle
The Archies
Go Go Gophers (Yeah baby!)
I had to check the web to remember some of these, but I watched them all. :2thumbsup: (I'll bet Gawain saw all these as well.)
I think I'm going to break down in a fit beer drenched meloncholy. :bigcry:
I change my vote from thundercats to yogi bear.Quote:

So it came a little bit to late for me to really enjoy. :wall:
You can do both at the same time.:laugh4:Quote:

My family didn't have a satellite dish, so I had to watch it at my friends place. Great times.
Does anyone remember Transformers the Movie? I really liked that one.
Transformers for sure, closely followed by He-Man! :2thumbsup:
G Force, just to be difficult. Heh, I just googled it and they had some GREAT episode titles. "Attack of the Space Terrapin" anyone? "Tentacles From Space"? And what were they on when they penned "Fearful Sea Anemone" ?
But I voted for Thundercats by mistake.
I still make a point of watching it once a year.:2thumbsup:Quote:

Tom and Jerry shows, on the other hand, I can watch now and instantly recall, and I watched those when I was pretty young.
Transformers. But I loved Thundercats almost as much.
THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOO!!!~;p
but the only reason i even remember it is because of how bad they rip it on "robot chicken"...hehe both good shows.
I liked eighties cartoons when I was a kid. Funny, I liked some of them even more when I was 18 and up late... drinking...uhm, water. And, uh, doing other stuff, heh. I'll never forget staying up to uhm, 4 twenty-something am for some odd reason. :rollseyes:
Transformers here, although my toys were GI Joes. I think I remember that movie. Something to do with Unicron or something.Quote:

Hmmm, wait a minute,...!:inquisitive:
The Transformers movie was fantastic! The scene where Starscream used Megatron as a gun to actually kill some of the autobots on the ship flying to earth was jaw dropping for me. Death in a cartoon was a very new concept for me at the time. I remember saying to my uncle (who is only a few years older than me) "holy $#!t did you see that" and both of our eyes were about popping out of our heads. I think the Thundercats would have done well to have put a cap in a few of their badguys too but no such luck. :2thumbsup:Quote:

About the movie, I thought I had see it loads of times. It turns out it was only the first episode of it.:shame:
With a few exceptions those shows were on into the 90's. Aquaman, Fantastic Four, and sealab are about the only ones from your list I've never seen.Quote:

Cheetara is such a hottie.
Does anyone remember 'Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors' ?
"Jayce searches for his father, to unite the magic root and lead his Lightning League to victory over the changing form of SawBoss. Wheeled Warriors explode into battle--Lightning Strikes!"
That series was the best!!
Yes, with the wierd transformer plants or something.Quote:
Does anyone remember 'Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors' ?
It was on one of these Cartoon Network channels a while ago. They always show really old cartoon at night.
I remember it but it was soooo not the best. :laugh4:Quote:

It was a puppet show featuring a crocodile and some rodents, it showed cartoons in the show...most comically 'Thunderpants'...quite risque for a kids show...especially with the villian 'Bum-Ra'! :laugh4:
