Bri Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I played golf the other day with a guy named "Jayce" and I thought about asking him about the old cartoon that starred a guy by that name. Is that the show you're referring to? It's Jayce and the wheeled warriors. Thought it was a pretty well known Saturday morning cartoon back then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyttr8wI3lE Quote
badboy00z Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Not going there. I could never understand the popularity of Thundercats. Preferred Silverhawks anyway. Same animation company stable I think. Neither show was too great. BRING BACK CENTURIONS!!!! Centurions was the best!! Back then anyways. I tried watching it again and I can't believe it was so cheesy. Quote
Funkenstein Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Centurions was a less sexy version of Bubblegum Crisis. Quote
chowyunskinny Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 a Company called Icon Heroes is putting out 6" figures of the classic characters Quote
Renato Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Yes it was. It was animated by Topcraft, the members of which went on to form Ghibli. The old opening with the kick-ass animation and song was awesome. The rest of the show wasn't so great. Absolutely agree, that and the Silverhawks opening was style-oozing awesome. The shows themselves were bland. I heard one of the animators is a lecturer at the Manga Faculty in Kyoto Seika University where I was working up until a while back. Unfortunately, we never managed to meet. Otherwise... bah, more remakes. I want some company to come up with something cool. Quote
Renato Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) It's Jayce and the wheeled warriors. Thought it was a pretty well known Saturday morning cartoon back then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyttr8wI3lE "But when your wheels get you there...... THINGS WILL TURN OUT RIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!" Yeah, this may have been my favourite of the non-Transformer shows at the time. Shame they never made a final episode which concluded the story, that would have been epic. Same with Dungeons & Dragons, for that matter. Edited June 6, 2010 by Renato Quote
Keith Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Dungeons & Dragons actually did conclude, though its conclusion led into a completely different series. The pun is Willie Aames then and now... Quote
Keith Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Centurions was a less sexy version of Bubblegum Crisis. Somehow I seem to have entirely missed that show during the 80's, but watching the intro, looks like it was done by whoever did the Bionic Six. Quote
Warmaker Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 It's Jayce and the wheeled warriors. Thought it was a pretty well known Saturday morning cartoon back then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyttr8wI3lE I was more of a Galaxy Rangers type of kid back in the day Quote
eugimon Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 manifest destiny propaganda masquerading as a children's show is always fun. Quote
Keith Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 And damnit, where's our Ulysses 31 box set/remake! Quote
Warmaker Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 manifest destiny propaganda masquerading as a children's show is always fun. And it's always good stuff Quote
Bri Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I was more of a Galaxy Rangers type of kid back in the day Aye, that was a fun show too. Loved the space opera type shows, same with the way to short Star Com. Quote
Renato Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 And damnit, where's our Ulysses 31 box set/remake! It's out in France and Spain. And please don't ask for remakes. Quote
Renato Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Dungeons & Dragons actually did conclude, though its conclusion led into a completely different series. What? I don't get it. I read the "Requiem" script but that was an unproduced episode. Quote
taksraven Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 It's out in France and Spain. And please don't ask for remakes. C'mon!! We have to say Yes Yes to more No No. Taksraven Quote
Graham Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 And damnit, where's our Ulysses 31 box set/remake! I've had my Ulysses 31 DVD box set for 2 or 3 years now. UK version IIRC. Graham Quote
Graham Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Thundercats was one of a few 80s cartoons that I could never get into, the others being Transformers & GI Joe. Graham Quote
Scream Man Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Sorry, i stopped reading after 'Silverhawks'. I LOVE that show. Quote
Renato Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 C'mon!! We have to say Yes Yes to more No No. Taksraven Heh, I see what you did there. Quote
Funkenstein Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 If anything deserves a remake , its the Battletech toon and the Exosquad series. Quote
RD Blade Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 If anything deserves a remake , its the Battletech toon and the Exosquad series. I'd vote for Spiral Zone and Mighty Orbots. One for it's more sophisticated sci-fi content and theme music, the other for it's kick-ass GodMarz-ish hero bot. Quote
VT 1010 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 James Lipton composed the theme song to the original? http://www.cracked.com/article_18441_7-celebrities-who-had-badass-careers-you-didnt-know-about_p2.html Quote
Zor Primus Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Wish they would bring back Spiral Zone. Also, never understood why they called it Third Earth...if we were on First Earth, what was Second Earth all about? Edited June 8, 2010 by Zor Primus Quote
Funkenstein Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Wish they would bring back Spiral Zone. Also, never understood why they called it Third Earth...if we were on First Earth, what was Second Earth all about? Second Earth would either be Marvel 616 or the home of Superboy. Quote
Wanzerfan Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Wish they would bring back Spiral Zone. Also, never understood why they called it Third Earth...if we were on First Earth, what was Second Earth all about? I think Mumm-Ra was referring to the Third Age of Earth when he first encountered the Mutants. I think Humanity gets well and truly screwed in the Second Age of Earth.

Zor Primus Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 I think Mumm-Ra was referring to the Third Age of Earth when he first encountered the Mutants. I think Humanity gets well and truly screwed in the Second Age of Earth. There were no humans in the show then right? I can't remember past the second season. Quote
Wanzerfan Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 There were no humans in the show then right? I can't remember past the second season. The only humans in the show I know of were Hachiman and Mumm-Rana (sp.?). There could've been others, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Quote
Greyryder Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 There were those amazon women that lived in the trees. Was it ever explained where their men were? Quote
EXO Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 There were those amazon women that lived in the trees. Was it ever explained where their men were? Maybe Y The Last Man was a spinoff... Quote
grss1982 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Not going there. I could never understand the popularity of Thundercats. Preferred Silverhawks anyway. Same animation company stable I think. Neither show was too great. BRING BACK CENTURIONS!!!! POWER EXTREME!!!! All kidding aside. I've never seen Thundercats. Might be worth a watch. On another note, I would love a reboot of Centurions as well. Quote
Agent ONE Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I think Captain Planet and the Snorks were about as good as Thunder Cats. Quote
Wanzerfan Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I think Captain Planet and the Snorks were about as good as Thunder Cats. I thought Captain Planet was good for its time.Until I found out who created the thing... ...HANOI JANE!!! Quote
Gubaba Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I thought Captain Planet was good for its time. Until I found out who created the thing... ...HANOI JANE!!! You mean, Hanoi Jane's HUSBAND, surely... Quote
