How about Supernaturals! Those were some cool figures.
What's the most obscure Toy line from the 80's and 90's you can think of?

does anyone remember the robot figures with big suction cup bottoms rather than legs? They were about 6 or 7 inches tall. Can't recall the name now! Help!

They were called Robo Force. Max Steele was one of the characters, who was also the leader.

Megaforce was awesome. I also had Sectaurs, very cool as well.
Anyone mention Flying Fighters? Those were the fighter jets with the flight stick handle that attached at the back. The stick made machine gun and missle sounds with the push of a button, and also had an engine noise that changed depending on whether the plane was pointed up or down. They were awesome, especially if you liked GI Joe.

I don't think so, i remember them and Captain Planet..never got into that though.
Mine is more of a trivia question since I can't remember the name. I do know that this would be between 1979 and 1984, they were sold at Toys R Us. I had two figures and one vehicle/insect. (Not Sectaurs!!)
Figure 1: approx 3 3/4 inches purple in color. He looked like a cross between an ant and a human skeleton(GI Joe:RAH articulation). He had four arms with detachable orange "hands." The "hands" were tools...I remember a hook and a circle/ring but not the other two. The back half of his head was missing and his "brain" was showing...it was also detachable and it glowed.
Figure 2: approx 3 3/4 inches red in color. He looked like a humanoid lobsterish guy(GIJ:RAH articulation). Only two arms for this one. His "brain" also showed, but took up the majority of his cranium and it glowed. His most distinctive feature was his eyes...they were more like tiny hollow tubes.
The ship/insect was a dragonfly. It was black with two sets of 4 fused legs on either side. The legs folded up when flying and down when it was on land. It had translucent purple wings that would "buzz" (flap) when a lever/button was pushed. The head opened up to reveal a cockpit for one, where the purple guy would sit. When the cockpit was closed, the figure was not visible.
Never saw a commercial. Never saw a comic. The only other kid that had these was my next door neighbor. When I whipped out with the dragonfly ship, he took his toys home and I never saw them again.
How's that for obscure.

They were part of the Micronauts collection. I have the green one, I think his name is Raptlor (or something like that).

Great thread... my favorite obscure lines have already been mentioned. But for the record those would be:
Powerlords
Super Naturals (of which I have a full set)
Army Ants
Crystar
And one that hasn't been mentioned Construx from Fisher Price
The wife wanted to throw in her picks:
Charmkins
Moon Dreamers
