No Matter Where You Go, There You Are

A Walk Down Memory Lane

| Comments

The past couple of weeks, I’ve been watching and enjoying the cartoon “Justice League Unlimited”. It doesn’t completely feel like a cartoon for kids as some of it’s themes are fairly mature. Made me think of the cartoons from my childhood. I grew up in the heyday of cartoons and toy merchandizing (the 80s!!!!) which makes this trip down memory lane doubly nostalgic.

This is the extent of the cartoons I remember:
Robotech
- Veritechs, SDF, Invid, Zentradi, MinMei’s irritating songs
Transformers
- Canonical giant transforming robots
He Man
- Superman-like hero with a big sword
MASK
- Transforming vehicles but no giant robots
Centurions
- Cool exoskeletally enhanced counter terrorism force
Silverhawks
- Space variant of the Thundercats
Visionaries
- Knights of the round table with magical technology
BraveStarr
- A sheriff with animal powers on the frontier in outer space
Galaxy Rangers
- Super human cowboys defending humanity in the future
Thunderbirds 2086
- Variant of the original Thunderbirds but with cooler vehicles
Saber Rider
- Space cowboys on the frontier with Giant combining robot
Star Com
- GI Joe in Space
Bionic Six
- The Bionic Family
Gobots
- More transforming robots
