Spider-X Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hey Guyz, I was just surfin' the web... and I found this movie from the 80ies... It was a movie of a cartoon show that I watched when I was a little kid. I remembered that the main character was from WW2 and was teleported into the 80-90's... or into the distant future... The character was given an F-5 in a tiger paintsheme, and it really looked great. He was flying with a team agains an evil airforce... named Skull Squadron... Yes, I said Skull Squadron... And the leader of that Squadron flew an F-14... But it wasn't the Skull Squadron from Macross Another great feature of the show was that each pilot was given a special ring... that acted as a trigger mechanism to transform the planes into supersonic high-tech silverkinda lookin' planes... Anyway... to see what I mean, here's the intro movie of the show "Ring Raiders": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beltane70 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I remember the toys, but totally had no idea that they had made a tv show for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 There was no F-14. Skull squadron leader here was Scorch I believe and flew a Viggen. I miss the toys and playsets, the balljointed stands were awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronv Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Don't remember that cartoon at all and I watched all of them back in the days. I'm also waiting for the Visionaires and Bionic 6 on DVD one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-X Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 There was no F-14. Skull squadron leader here was Scorch I believe and flew a Viggen. I miss the toys and playsets, the balljointed stands were awesome! My bad, but I still have a vague memory about a black and purple f-14 in Ring Raiders... Could it be flown by the evil chick from Skull Squadron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerwalk25 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Bionic 1, Mother 1, Sports 1, Rock 1, Karate 1 and JD (I think). Yeah those guys were cool. Diecast metal. Funny that you mentioned Bionic Six which was my fave back in 87', 88' because I happened to watch the intro on Gootube/Youggle and there is a similarity to the Original Gatchman intro it's where both Teams skydive in a circle plus even the river in both backround illustrations are similar.

Excillon Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Oh god i remember all of these...ewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!! I also remember Centurions, Captain Power, Captain Planet, Silverhawks, Sectaurs, oh god it goes on and on. So many of those memories are gone now, save for a few boxes at mom's house. At least they brought back Madballs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I loved ring raiders....wish they brought it back too. I was trying to find out the name of that toyline for yonks. Now i know. PS: why "Anal" combat show...shouldn't u mean "Aerial"? Made me avoid this thread for 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I remember the toys, but totally had no idea that they had made a tv show for it. I gotta agree with Beltane and Twoducks, i totally remember seeing the toys everywhere. I think i even had a squadron or two, but i had absolutely no idea there was a cartoon about them and back then i knew about every cartoon! It was the 80's though and i'm hard pressed to think of any toy line that didn't have a cartoon backing it up... except Mega-Force! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
