YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! Spiral Zone was the best ever!

A nod for MASK as well! I agree that Thundercats and Dino Riders would be kickass too!

yeah cause it was done in Japan, like a lot of 80’s cartoons. Silverhawks too. Draw you in with all that cool animation and then slam you with the cheese. Ah the 80’s, good times, good times.

Now I know this isn’t a cartoon. But did anyone see the Zelda April Fool’s trailer that IGN did. It was awesome! I nearly pissed myself when I saw it. And I mean that in a good way! They spared no expense for that prank. Hollywood quality. Look it up on Youtube.

If they make The Thundercats, Flava Flav can play Mum-Ra The Ever Living! AAAAAHHHH! Oh yeah, no make-up required. Just some cut up bed sheets.

Thundercats had the best intro hands down!

Oh hell yeah! The Herculoids with the two blobs the little one and the big one. I used to play with silly putty and pretend that they were the blobs from the Herculoids. Oh yeah! And what about that big dragon! Aw man! Don’t get me started! Btw, does anybody remember the best toy back in the 80’s. My favorite, ‘255 Computer Command’ Look it up! It was a remote control car that used no remote control. You program it from underneath the hood of the car. Oh I wish I stil had it. Oh yeah, Voltron rules.

Lmao. Yeah Jace and the Wheeled Warriors was great. But really you want live action Thundercats? Even if someone like Weta did the prosthetics, it’d look cheesey. Seriously. I want it to look like the concept art I saw a week ago. More catlike, instead of just having humanoids with cat eyes and abilities.

LIGHTENING STRIKE!! Did Jace and the Wheeled Warriors not make your list b/c it SHOULD be made into a Movie? Thats the best into and ‘outro’ of any show eva
lol We called a big headed kid Saw-Boss straight thru high school.

It’d make The Road Warrior look like Fast and Furious and Fast and Furious look like Speed Racer.

to me, its funny that american animation companies hired japanese animation studios to make them killer intros, just so kids think it will be some awesome series

Just check that freaking awesome intro for silver hawks and thunder cats, you might think the show is incredibly bad ass for its action sequences.

I briefly considered Centurions for this list but then it would have been the top 6, and we just can’t have that…

Sorry guys, Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was the best of the 80;s.

Am I the only one on earth that still remembers Sky Commanders? What a great toy! It might not make a good movie but do you know what would? Motherfucking Dino Riders! Men fighting lizard people on dinosaurs armed with lazers! There, plot done. They could make it super corny or have someone like J.J. Abrams do it and make that shit savage! Either way, I would still dish out 8 bucks to see a T-Rex straped with rockets wasting a village.

That is correct sir!!! But it had the dalorean doors for wings. What no Inhumanoids, Centurions or Voltron? Yes I know Voltron is supposed to be on track but…I think M.A.S.K. she be redone as a modern animated series like the 2002 Masters of the Universe remake or the recent G.I.Joe Resolute online mini series. Old stuff can be made new but only when you take it seriously and don’t just go ait it from a nostalgic view.

“M.A.S.K.” still has the best theme song ever. And I don’t think Matt Tracker drove a Delorean. Looked more like a Firebird or Trans Am.
