Transformers (G1)
Robotech (Macross Saga was brilliant, but Sentinels and New Generation were OK)
Starblazers
Battle of the Planets
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Of which I own every Season of everything but He-Man (still too expensive in Australia). I do have the He-Man/She-Ra Christmas Special and bought the Best of She-Ra for my 2yo Daughter. I will buy Best of He-Man for my 6mo Son when he gets a little older.
Star Blazers was '79, but I don't think I saw it run until 1980.
Favorite 80's cartoons? Here's an unwholesome one... Urotsukidôji! 7 out of 10 for shock value, and I've never seen a 9.

I definately wouldn't have seen it 'til the 80's in Australia.
I also own Urotsukidôji (Legend of the Overfiend) & Urotsukidôji II (Legend of the Demon Womb) on a Special Edition DVD.
Myth has it that one of them (I think Demon Womb, but I can't remember) had to go back to the Censors to be re-classified 3 times before it was suitable for an Australian R Rating (18+)!
And hey, for unwholesome, what about the Spider Demon Woman at the start of Wicked City! ;)

Pirates of Dark WaterI still think this would make a b%%!%in' D&D setting. :)
well then you might want to take a look at this.
The Cartoon Network He-Man was freakin awesome. I could not believe they cancelled it. Only thing better was Samurai Jack.
Sold! Buying the DVDs as we speak.
well then you might want to take a look at this.
O.M.G. Hot.

I have the D&D cartoon, the first half of Galaxy Rangers and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors on DVD.
I am SO glad to hear someone else mention Galaxy Rangers! That is hands down my 80s favorite! :)
Just out of curiosity, does anyone remember Tigersharks? It was the sea version of Thundercats (Silverhawks being the air version).

Never a Tigersharks fan. Perferred Silverhawks or Thundercats more.

Cool that it uses the old Skills and Powers. I really enjoyed those rules, but they died out too quick with my group in favor of 3.0.

We never got GI Joe here in Australia (at least that I ever saw). Wedidi get M.A.S.K. though and that was really cool!
D&D was cool, but I only ever saw a handful of episodes. I did have a D&D colouring in book though and I loved it!Lion Force or Vehicle Force Voltron? Lion Force was pretty good and it seems to be the popular choice, but I always enjoyed Vehicle Force sooo much more.

Thundercats was cool, as was Tigersharks. Don't think I ever saw Silverhawks.
Does anyone remember Defenders of the Earth?
Flash Gordon, Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, Lothar and their Kids.
Looks like everyone knows about the Darkwater RPG lol

You know what I remembered the most about Galaxy Rangers (besides the badge tap, which developed into a nervous twitch that I still do)?
The episode Rogue arm, when the arm flushes the two guys out of the airlock. I was shocked, happy that the show wasn't pulling punches, but shocked.
Danger Mouse and Groovy Goolies were two of my favorites, along with GI Joe and Thundercats.
Count Duckula was great, too.
And hey, for unwholesome, what about the Spider Demon Woman at the start of Wicked City! ;)
I REMEMBER her! Helluva scene.

Wasn't really my favorite, but the Mr. T cartoon makes me laugh when I think about it. Why in the hell was he traveling around with a team of gymnasts? Does that even make sense in Bizarro world?
Cartoons have always been a good vehicle to sell crap. Remember Rubik?
And thanks for reminding me about vehicle force Voltron. I had totally forgotten about that.
What about Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling?

Well, it was Mr. T so we can be pretty sure his intentions were pure. Now if it had been Michael Jackson traveling around with a bunch of pre-pubescent gymnists...
I must be a bit older. "Herculoids" and "Challenge of the Superfriends" (the one with the Legion of Doom) were my favorites. "Space Ghost" (the one with the robot frankenstein after it, not the "coast-to-coast" one) was a close third.

"herculoids"? was that the one with the critter that shot fireballs out of its horn, and the dragon thingy that shot lasers out of its tail, and the blob thingy with a kid blob thingy?
if so, i LOVED that one! that cartoon probably made my eventual d&d habit inevitable...
EDIT: This one is better."herculoids"? was that the one with the critter that shot fireballs out of its horn, and the dragon thingy that shot lasers out of its tail, and the blob thingy with a kid blob thingy?

That very one!"herculoids"? was that the one with the critter that shot fireballs out of its horn, and the dragon thingy that shot lasers out of its tail, and the blob thingy with a kid blob thingy?
that was a trip down memory lane...
space ghost was cool also, i loved the invisibility belts...
china loves space ghost coast to coast and anything with brak, so don't diss them when you come over next! ;)

Thanks for the warning! I for sure wouldn't want to piss her off!
Heh, heh. No one suspects my secret love of "The Smurfs."
Oops...did I type that out loud?
Actually, "The Smurfs" was kind of relaxing to watch on those hung-over Saturday mornings in college, munching on peanut butter Combos (they made peanut butter Combos back then).

Never a Tigersharks fan. Perferred Silverhawks or Thundercats more.
I loved Silverhawks. Every show needs an electric guitar playing redneck pilot. Especially on that plays the guitar during battle.
I REMEMBER her! Helluva scene.
And hey, for unwholesome, what about the Spider Demon Woman at the start of Wicked City! ;)
I love that movie. :D
I get the feeling you liked Galaxy Rangers.The ones I enjoyed (and that I remember right now):
Galaxy Rangers
Mighty Orbots
He-Man
Galaxy Rangers
Oopsy - looks like I had one of those moments again... :)
But I did enjoy the show. Besides - what's not to love about a guy named Shane Gooseman?

Star Blazers was far and away my favorite. The Wave Motion Gun was pure genius.
Transformers would be number 2, and Thundercats 3rd. Starscream was my favorite character from the former and the Lunatacs the later. I used to fantasize about flying a fighter from Star Blazers. Later on Silver Hawks was one I watched a lot. I loved Robotech, but not sure which incarnation I watched. The first ones I watched they were mostly flying around in the fighter jets that morphed into robots and in the second one they rode motorcycles that turned into a sort of cyborg type body armor on them.
Now I watch a ton of Anime. Favorites include Bleach, Naruto, Noein, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, Trinity Blood and many more. Heck, Anime has singlehandedly made me want to learn how to speak Japanese. I LOVE Asian culture, or at least what I have been able to be exposed to here in the U.S.

One of my fav Anime. I like the old skool anime (Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, etc...) The new stuff seems a bit to "made to appeal to kids but it's not really for kids" to me.
I loved Robotech, but not sure which incarnation I watched. The first ones I watched they were mostly flying around in the fighter jets that morphed into robots and in the second one they rode motorcycles that turned into a sort of cyborg type body armor on them.
Macross Saga was the First one with the Veritech Fighters (the best by a very long shot).
The Masters was the second with Tanks that transformed around their drivers.New Generation was the third that had the motorcycles that turned into armour.

Ulysses 31
I liked Ulysses 31 as well (the theme song has haunted me even 'til now). I saw the boxed set of it on sale a little while a go, but it was pretty expensive. If it ever comes down in price I will get it.
Also, how could I forget Mysterious Cities of Gold. Man I loved that show! If they ever released it on DVD as a boxed set I would snap it up no matter what the price.
Opening Sequence.
What, no love for Godzilla the animated series ? Not even just for the theme tune alone ?
"Up from the depths..."
