Vintage Cartoons

Not a usual Friday around here, but I had this post already rolling around in the mind attic so here it goes.

Vintage Cartoons
I was an 80's child and I loved all the classic cartoons. Clearly "The Transformers" was my favorite, but there were so many others. Here is a selection from that era, maybe you will know some of them.

M.A.S.K
The Mobile Armored Strike Kommand cartoon featured pretty wild vehicles that morphed into attack craft as well as pilot that would put on masks which themselves had special powers! This one was so cool:

M.A.S.K battled V.E.N.O.M (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem) and it was a fun show.

Silverhawks
Bionic fighters against whatever evil comes along in the show, the Silverhawks were reasonably entertaining. Led by Quicksilver and flanked by such interesting bionic hawks as Col. Bluegrass who played a sonic guitar and sported a cowboy hat. Picture:

Too funny.

Centurions
One of my favorite growing up! The Centurions were based out in space at their own station and were transported anywhere needed to fight Doc Terror and his plans on Earth. The three centurions, featuring Ace McCloud, had a huge array of weapons and systems they could call upon to use. Old picture:

Nice.

Grendizer
My personal all time favorite, Grendizer was the ultimate in Japanese mecha anime. Great story, great music, and bad ass robots. What else could you want?:

"Grendizer GOOOO!"

Oh, the memories.

Have a good night.
