Cartoons

perlmonks has a poll of favorite (s/favorite/favourite/) cartoons.

Here are some of the cartoons I watched as a kid that absolutely rock (or at least they did when I was a kid):

Battle Of The Planets Thundercats He-Man Transformers Space Sentinels Scooby Doo - Where are you? - not the bloody Scrappy Doo era.

I'm sure there are many more but these are the first one's that spring to mind.

There's amazingly active Transformers community out there on the net. They have conventions and everything. And fights over whether the new shows/toys are any good. And you can read the entire 80-issue comic book series online. (I personally own issues 1-6 and 80.) Some of the TF fanfiction is great reading.

Don't forget Voltron. Every episode had the same plot, but somehow we enjoyed it anyway.

Once again, preview does no good unless you read it.

Transformers

Like djberg96, my favorite Transformer was Soundwave. I remember taking that bloody thing to school every day. I was really annoyed when I lost those little tape thingies (you know, the ones that turned into flying bird type deals but I'll be buggered if I can remember what they're called now).

Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy.

I am pitiful.

I never owned a Soundwave, but I had two tapes.

I remember making paper versions of the Transformers in second grade. It wasn't just me; lots of kids did this, and had a real blast. I remember in particular making Soundwave once or twice.

Some of my favorites as a kid were Spaceghost, Herculoids, Thundarr the Barbarian, and Dungeons and Dragons. G-Force never did much for me.

Oh, and my favorite Transformer was "Soundwave" :)

Ha ha, Dungeons and Dragons, I forgot about that one, another classic methinks :-)
