    well, m'boy, you have good taste. I wasn't ever really into astroboy, but the Voltrons (sniff), gi joe, mask, pole position (sob), thundercats (waaah!!)...proof that not everything about growing up in the eighties was totally +3l-l 5u(l<.

    edit: or perhaps, proof that we are, after all, a generation of GEEEEKS.

    heh, I was on a server the other day and someone lerking in a vent voice comm'd "I am the terror that flaps in the night". we were in stitches.

    Dinoriders, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I agree with you on those.

    Super Mario Bros show was lame, though.

    I miss watching Batman: The Animated Series. But that's an early 90s cartoon. TMNT and Transformers kick butt, though.

    Whats with the name He-man anyways? Is it just He the Man or am i missing something? Hercules man? Hero Man?

    Anyone remember Stinkor? the one that smelled like crap, and had a little gasmask (to keep from smelling himself?). What an idea that was... New Onos ability?

    Robotech was late 70's you nub! I think. :P At least, I've never ever ever seen it broadcasted, and I watched a LOT of tv when I was young.

    Oh and He-Man's alter-ego was prince whineysomething. Prince "I have big muscles and hair like he-man but am a total wuss so I can't be him". Did anyone else think She-Ra was hot? I sure did...

    Also, this link is full of very very bad words, but it is too good to not post. <a href='http://www.claws-and-paws.com/thundercats/index.php#outtakes' target='_blank'>ThunderCats Outtakes</a>. Again I say, very bad language, BUT HILARIOUS!

    Oh man, who's the nub? YOU!!! Robotech came out in 1985. I watched it in serialized format on (UHF <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) TV when I was 11. It was on everyday after school. The reason you didn't see it was:

    1) You're a punk nublet who is too young.
    2) It was on a FOX-style UHF channel that you probably didn't have access to because...
    3) ... you were living in Oklahoma and cow-tipping.

    Monse, you're so mean *Cries*

    My first addiction to Robotech came from seeing first "era"(everything but minh-mae(sp?) was awesome about that show) on Cartoon Network. Seeing a few of the episodes from later "eras" they kinda sucked.

    As I kid I grew up on Thundercats, TMNT, and Boomerang-slated cartoons.

    It must have been #3, cause if it was on tv in 85 I woulda saw it. Maybe it just didn't come on in my area :/ Nobody else saw it either. Now i'm sad that i missed robotech on tv! :O

    OMG!! NOSTALGIA!! NOOO!!

    I sold all my TMNT figures, I still have an original fuzzy purple cat from heman, and I did have castle greyskull too. Plus, I still have the three conversion Optimus Prime with his trailer.

    Worst thing about the eightys, big hair rock bands....

    I still have castle greyskull as well along with a bumblebee from trans.(he was so non-heterosexual now that I think about it...), and soundwave. Soundwave was my favorite in Transformers. I AM NOT MONOTONE. ohhhhhh..... transformers, why won't they bring the 80's cartoons back? I feel sorry for the kids of today....

    almost forgot to ask, when did Fragglerock brodcast?

    Robotech rules. Sadly I first found out about it in the late 90s when a friend gave me one of the books. Got hooked on the show later. But as always, the books are better.

    I didn't mention Robotech because all they showed me as a kid was the Robotech: Movie made up of a few episodes. So yeah.... no Robotech for me as a kid.

    *hugs Robotech Macross saga DVDs*

    *hugs Super Dimensional Fortress Macross DVDs*

    80's cartoon was the best (possibly because of my child hood developed there)

    Lonny tunes is good but came way before 80?s cartoon's

    the 80's were the golden age of cartoons, where mindless violence ruled, and entertainment was priority....

    I remember when NBC stoped showing saturday morning cartoons, and starting showing crap like saved by the bell, I beleive that was the end of good saturday morning cartoons as we know it. Nowadays its all about teaching us something, well If I want to be taught, I will go to school, and on staurday mornings I want my brain to rot until I forget what I did learn in school.

    Burr, standing ovation man. That is the main reason why I think building a time machine would be useful.
