Anyone remember a weird cartoon/toy from the 80's where these green slimy brains merged with machines? Me and a co-worker are going insane trying to figure this one out...

That wasn't "Mask" was it..... were the machines robots or vehicles? Who in here remembers the Inhumanoids?

I remember MASK Had a few of their toys but curious as to why no one added Transformers to the Poll or G.I.JOE

I'll have to go with the Thundercats! I was totally hooked on this cartoon as a kid, and taped every episode to watch over and over again which drove my 3 brothers crazy. My second favorite would have to have been GI Joe.
eat soup.

Anyone remember a weird cartoon/toy from the 80's where these green slimy brains merged with machines? Me and a co-worker are going insane trying to figure this one out... I believe they were the " Wheeled Warriors" line. The cartoon ("Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors") was trash, but the toys -- with their customizeable vehicles -- were awesome. I had the main villian car with the huge buzzsaw. Good times. <3 That wasn't "Mask" was it..... Who in here remembers the Inhumanoids? Correct... Mobile Armored Strike Kommand (MASK) were vehicles that had two forms, and I loved both that cartoon and toy line dearly (even though Matt Stryker's son and that stupid T-bob were the Anakin and Jar-Jar of my youth). Inhumanoids? I remember two out of three of them (Tendrill and Decompose; I can't remember the big guy's name... Magmar or something equally banal?). I also had the figure of the dude who split into the firey guy and the rock guy and kept Magmar contained (the figure was incredibly cheap). A good show, but maybe a little high-concept -- it's definitely a weird case of the villians being more high-profile than the heroes (who I have barely no recollection of at all; the human ones, at least). Here's one for you: Centurions. We're creeping into the early 90s now, but I'm curious to know how many people know what they were. |

Centurions I barely remember but I did have more thena few Sectaur toys (I think that's what they were called). It was kind of a He-Man meets bugman sort of show where each Sectaur had a large insect companion.

I know the Centurions quite well. I own several Jake Rockwell toys. It was a goodie. I didn't go much for WW toon but the toys were indeed awesome and I enjoyed Inhumanoids more than I probably should have. (D. Compose rocked)

I remember an obscure sci-fi kids show in the late 70's called Jason of Star Command. It was a live action show with Mr.Scott as the ship's captain(R.I.P.)!

Thundar was great. If memory serves me, Jack Kirby did the design work for the show. Long live Ookla the Mok (I think that was his name anyway).
Chris, I still have the villians lair for Sectaurs packed away somewhere. I kept the spider glove out though and it's hanging on the bookshelf right now.

Thundarr was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid and I miss the fact that CN no longer shows it.

Super Friends.
Anything super hero related, actually. And that goofy Godzilla 'toon with his winged-son Godzookie. Man, that was terrible. But I never missed it.
I guess I watched all the cartoons listed at one time or another, and still catch the older 'toons when I can. But Super Friends was my favorite.

Wow...All these pages, all these months (sorry I'm late), and no-one mentioned the Real Ghostbusters..? Shame on you...  Personally, I own Transformers (the whole series) on DVD along with Robotech (twice no less), so I'll go with those... I remember Centurions quite fondly...Power Extreme!!! Pittbull had (has?) the entire toy line... Great show....I want it (and well, most of your list) on DVD at some point as well... |

It was kind of a He-Man meets bugman sort of show where each Sectaur had a large insect companion. Sectaurs were great, but they never had a cartoon. It, along with Chrystar the Crystal Warrior, were about the only two really cool boys action figure lines without a cartoon to support them back then. They did Marvel comics series', though.I loved them both. My favorite is not on the poll, GI Joe. How could it have been overlooked? I HATED Hulk Hogan's Rock N Wrestling as a child. When I first heard about it I was maybe 8 or 9 and in my mind I envisioned something more like what they did with Ultimate Muscle nearly two decades later (or what was going on in Japan with Kinnikuman at the time, I suppose), a cartoon revolving around wrestling. What I got was a group of bufoons in plots that you could've plugged any cartoon character into and never noticed the difference. It was insulting to me as a wrestling fan. |

I thought there was a Sectaurs cartoon but I might be thinking of the Sectaur comic books that you could get at the time.
