Default Those 80s kids shows you watched as a kid

I'm a bit of geek when it comes to hobbies and things I like to collect.

I've got all the old Transformers episodes and the complete JDM series that was never translated (properly) Its surprising how badly drawn TFs is but I love it.

Theres a few series that I loved as a kid that are now available or will be shortly. The complete Terrahawks series has been around for a while and have this on order. Starfleet is due out in early august as a complete series and finally I'm bidding on Ulysses31 on ebay (only 26 episodes made)

So anyone want to relive those 80s sci-fi adventures?

Can't find Jase and the Wheeled Warriors but it was only ever one now and again - was on less times than Transformers.


YouTube - Starfleet intro
YouTube - Terrahawks Intro
YouTube - Ulysses 31 intro

The best obviously YouTube - transformers intro


YouTube - Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

Battle of the Planets - good one!

Don't suppose anyone knows Voltron? Haven't watched any myself but Petter Cullen voices (Optimus Prime)

Wikki says 26 in total. I vaguely remember him having to do certain task (string on the bow ect)

They ran them a while back on (I think) nick toons late night.

The G1 transformers series is on Tinypop. I love pre-movie but post-movie not so good.

Transformers animated is new on nicktoons and although drawn completely different there are alot of nods to G1. Anyone who collected the TF comics would recognise Deaths Head in one episode.

My latest editions - I won't tell you how much they were

Clear Prime




Black Prime



I collect the rare and hard to find TFs and buy other peoples collections to split.


Mulled this little lot over too. They sell for around $200 each.

Transformers G1 Headmaster Nightbeat MISB Huge Lot x 42 on eBay, also Transformers, Transformers Robots, Action Figures, Toys Hobbies (end time 18-Jul-08 17:48:07 BST)

Would only be worth it if it didn't get caught at customs.


Next months purchase - Prime is called Convoy in the East.

Some memories there. How about "The Mysterious Cities of Gold"? Looks like it's recently been released on dvd (have a look here) all 39 episodes, unedited and remastered.

I loved Terrahawks, always remember the end credits playing naughts and crosses, the end theme was great.

When I first found eBay in 2000 I bought all 6 original 80's Terrahawks video's, number 6 was particually difficult to find and used to sell for £100 a copy back in 2000, then they released them all on DVD and the values of the original video's plummeted.

Tripods was another I really liked, and again I bought all the original vid's via eBay, only for that to be released on DVD!!!

He-Man was my favourite.

What about:-
Dogtanian and the 3 muskahounds
or in the School holidays there was Tom Sawyer & Huckaberry Finn and what about Silas!
Brilliant shows
