    ohh I remember that game. I even had the Exo squad game for sega genisis way back when.

    The only name I can remember though is Phaeton the main bad guy.

    Im surprised they didnt make this into some sort of anime thing. Or maybe they did... dunno.

    Not sure if I have them anymore, but I had a freakin' ton of them as a kid. I was quite the action figure **** back then. I had my own little GI-Joe Army to fight my Ninja Turtle Militia, AND a huge room to do it in. Spent more than half of my childhood with the damn things.

    me and my friend (he's bisexual) made a song about captain planet once. replace "planet" with a synonym for h0mosexual and replace the theme in the same way... and that's our song. sodomy abounds!

    It was a really, really bad 80's anime-ish cartoon. Think He-Man, with, uh, cats. Yeah.

    OMG OMG OMG!

    Another huge Exo Squad fan! I remember when it was on USA's Cartoon Express then they stopped those ****! Sometimes it would be on WTXX or UPN but noooo they had to take that off like they did X-Men. God I miss GOOD Cartoon shows!

    Yea man, I never got Cartoon network when they played Exo-Squad, I only got it recentely <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I remember a few toys I had of those, but not the series itself.

    It was the first lil robots that I liked, because they actually looked "realistic" to me, like they could actually work. Kinda like appleseed/ALICE type deals where they were a little bigger than a person and whatnot.

    /me hugs sheena/

    must go on Ebay, buy all Exo-Squad and Tech wars figures


    well, except for the cheesy "special edition" ones, JT marsh in a football mech? Medeval? gah, it burns
    EDIT: Gah! Ebay is down!

    And i almost forgot, when i was a kid, i had some micro-machine ripoff LCAC, it was a little tiny, but it ruled for Exo Squad, i loved those things, i had everything all in one peice for years (a huge surprise), until i brought them over to my cousins's house...

    His dog chew em up <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    with a little airbrushing... they'd look wicked as battle damaged!

    yeah.. i realized that.. the technical design, and other parts on this (on some figures not) figures are pretty plausible,and lookin like exo design concepts d.a.r.p.a have done for the army... or some stuff they researching on the m.i.t.

    only... the colours suck... with this colors they looks like toys...nothing i want to put in a shelf..
    with some airbrush job you can give em a dessert or urban cammo with weathering , with a knive you can do scratches into the plastic that you can finish with paint..looks cool.. with some painted dirt it looks like actual used equipment..

    no.. just a toy company that want a piece of the cake exosquad baked...
    Essentially, this new toy series is based off the Exo Squad story. Except the Neosapiens are now Cyborgs in the year 2058 lol.
    The back of the card box reads as follows: 'In the year 2058, earth has combined it's military defense forces into a single group utilizing state-of-the-art TECH SUITS (eframes). Fully armed, TECH SUITS allow a pilot a variety of powers and immense strength. These new soldiers have their work cut out for them, as they face the S.H.O.C. (Sentient Humanoid Ordnance Commandos), robot warriors designed to fight alongside humans, but instead revolt and attack! The S.H.O.C. now hold the world in a grip of fear. Led by earth's greatest military heroes, the TECH-SUITS ready themselves for the ultimate battle against the S.H.OC. and a chance to win freedom once again for the human race.'

    Sounds an awful lot like Exo Squad, no?

    I was over at a friend's dorm room one day, and we were flipping through the channels and we saw Captain Planet, so we decided what the hell, let's watch it.

    WORST SHOW EVAR

    My favorite part from the whole episode was where this illiterate south american (I forget which country it was, maybe columbia) says to Captain Planet, "I can't read!" and Captain Planet replies, "Yes you can! Read my face!"

    No, it makes no sense to me either.
