God I miss the times when my age was a single digit number. There's only crap running on kids channels nowadays...from what I've heard they no longer air these because of the shows being "too violent". I have a series of twisted fantasies in my mind as to what I would want to do to those people who actually put pressure on the tv stations to make this happen.

They're a "Radical Squadron" of two that are constantly in the same vehicle.

I remember, back in the day, I was lucky enough to have the perfect after school quad-fecta starting at 4 with Thundercats, then He-Man, then Transformers then G I Joe. Bestest TV ever.
Centurions was my favourite childhood show. None of its toys ever arrived in my small town in Scotland though, so I remember mostly 'playing' it by using stickle bricks...
Of course, Transformers was the other massively huge one, the availability of the toys.
I did, however, remember having most of the Ghostbusters toys. - I only ever got to play with the slime in the fire station once before it mysteriously vanished.
Then I moved onto Turtles, which I think saw me out the majority of my young childhood, plus some Batman The Animated Series toys.
I remember it being Power Rangers next, but I 'grew out of' them shortly after the film came out.
After then, it was mostly Lego and Micro Machines Military... Which eventually in 1997 led me into wandering into what I thought was a computer game store in Queens Street in Glasgow...
Instead, I found something called a Space Marine...
Most of mine were Star Wars ones, surprisingly. Which is weird, since I had never actually seen the films by that point. - It was all due to the TIE Fighter and Dark Forces games.
I had plenty of military ones though and I remember playing with them that wasn't miles different from Epic or Dropzone Commander. Come to think of it, if I went and looked them out, a lot of them could probably be in scale with Dropzone.
What was the cartoon where they are on a space base and have their own fighter ships... the intro credits they all panic and someone shouts 'scramble'!
I've been trying to remember the name of this show for years!
I discovered warhammer first, and I hadn't been as exposed to fantasy as I had to sci fi. Warhammer seemed new and cool to me, whereas 40k seemed highly derivative of the sci fi cartoons I grew up on!
Ah the 80s... cheesiest cartoons known to man.
I think perhaps the best thing thew 80s had was Micheal Jackson's biggest hits and Weird Al. And maybe Indiana Jones (That was 80s right?)
I think my favourite theme of all the cartoons I watched has to be the X-Men one. Transformers comes close, but the X-Men one is just slightly more epic and brings back the nostalgia in waves. The fact the subsequent live action movies didn't have sentinels in them was truly upsetting, given their prevalence in the cartoon. Hopefully the new film makes up for that.
Well this one is a classic. It still retains it's elements of cool I think, which can often be lost when revisiting shows you watched as a child. Then again TAS did stray into some adult themes.
I was recently thinking about how when I was a kid in the 80s I watched men (or robot/anthropomorphic versions of men) doing manly things. Fighting evil, saving people, etc. Do kids‘ shows still have that? I have two girls aged 5 and 3, so I really don’t know what boys watch nowadays.
I grew up on a diet of He-Man, Transformers, GI Joe, Mask, Thundercats, Centurions, Spiral Zone, The Real Ghostbusters, etc. Not to mention The A-Team, Knight Rider, Airwolf, The Fall Guy, Hogan’s Heroes, Star Trek and so on. Lots of good vs. evil/helping people/do the right thing themes in those shows that I feel like impacted who I am today. Not sure if there is a similar amount of that kind of material that kinds get today. A lot of it seems to just be silly comedy stuff.
I think d-usa covered most of my favs (except MASK... I had the toys, but I never actually got to watch the show) although there is one show that hasn't been posted yet. The ultimate cartoon of the mid-late 1980s. The show that turned kids into grown-ups. Characters, major characters, FETHING DIED. There were whole episodes dealing with people's emotions. Oh, and it had giant robots. So yeah.
I hope that comes through ok... its my first time trying to embed a video.

Because it was not an american show, it was a cut up version of macross, mospeada and Southern Cross anime.
