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.

Also enjoyed Conan the adventurer very much.![]()

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

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!'

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![]()

ThunderCats. Basically no other cartoon gave me that feeling, it might have had to do with the music. Most certainly Mum-Ra was the most evil vilain I had ever seen on a cartoon.
I also liked the Care Bears.![]()
Yep seen it a couple of times.Originally Posted by Big King Sanctaphrax
Unfortunately I just passed the cartoon fase and in to the beer drinking one.
So it came a little bit to late for me to really enjoy.![]()

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.

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.

Only show I could really say is "Looney Tunes"; don't know if that counts as an 80's cartoon.. I watched Transformers and He Man but I must not have been too interested because I don't remember much of the plot lines. 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!!!![]()

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.Originally Posted by Dâriûsh

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.Originally Posted by Dâriûsh
