The "80's Cartoons Kick Ass" Thread...

[Nocturne]

Is ironic though, they were called the Centurions but they commanded NO ONE!! surely there should have been 303 of the little bastards 100 per team member.

The Inspector Gadget song is incredibly catchy for a song that only has 5 different words in it. Unless it's the one at the end where you get Voice Acting God Frank Welker as Dr Claw

 

[Kibishii]

Not sure if anyone mentioned Bionic Six, but it was an awsome cartoon with a catchy theme song.

Centurions and Inhumanoids ROCKED! I remember having the toy of the skeleton monster from Inhumanoids...

Same here, I would have all my toys from all different cartoons all fight on a huge battlefield!!

I loved the Gadget theme song, one of the catchiest and most memorable for sure.

Frank Welker.

I truly believe that the 80's were the pinnacle of the Saturday morning cartoon! So many great series with kickass toys, or more commonly kickass toys they then had to make a show around

I remember looking forward to getting up early Saturday morning, grabbing a bowl of cereal and watching the boob tube Lot of great shows mentioned so far, so I'll add a few more that I liked as a kid.

Wow, GREAT thread! I think I literally watched every cartoon in the 80's. I even watched the "annoying" shows like Punky Brewster and that one about the Alvin and the Chipmunk spinoff with the girl chipmunks (didn't say I loved them but I watched them). And ******* LOL!!!!****** over that Pac-Man clip. I remember liking that show. My favorites were:

GI Joe
Transformers
Robotech
Dungeons & Dragons
He-Man
She-Ra
Thundercats

We need updated D&D and Thundercats toys!

This has the best intro for 80's kids cartoon...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyttr8wI3lE

Transformers and Inspector Gadget do rock though, and I also was a fan of the Bionic Six, M.A.S.K., Gobots, G.I.Joe, and what were those plush animals that would change colour if you got them wet?

 

[Darth Waller]

Even though I was a child of the 70s, I loved watching 80s cartoons.

I can't access YouTube at work, but Pole Position had a great theme song.

And I haven't ordered one yet, but Time Life has the complete Real Ghostbuster series available on DVD that comes packaged in tins and a little fire station box. Too cool.

Nope, but i did it anyway I like what they did on the back of every steelbook cover

 

[The ill Jedi]

This is one of my most favorite images ever, it totally embodies everything I love about the 80's and my childhood! I first saw it in J. Scott Campbell's artbook that I bought at the con this past year and I've been looking for a digital file of it forever, it even has the Smurfs, Ms. Pac Man, Strawberry Shortcake, the Rubik's Cube and the Care Bears in it!!

 

[The ill Jedi]

Some more AWESOME J Scott Campbell stuff, this guy is my hero!!

 

[Darth Waller]

He does some great pin-ups and covers, but I wish he'd do a monthly book again.

Same for Arthur Adams.

Yup, I love the way he draws women. From what I understand, he is a very busy dude, but I'd love to see him do a monthly again as well. If you like his work you should check out his artbook.

Adams work is very nice, the second pic is what i'd like a new toy line to look like.

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I *must* get a print of that somehow! Its fun tracking down all the Ninja Turtles in that pic.
