Anybody here remember Tranzor Z?
Originally called Manziger Z in Japan it was heavily edited for the US market. Even so, as I kid I noticed how violent it was compared to other cartoons, one episode in particular I remember 2 good guy scientists getting burned to death by the bad guy.
There were also Aphrodite A’s titty missles.
Oh man, you just brought back a flood of memories. I had that toy!
Did the titties shoot?[/quote]
Haha…I only had the Tranzor toy, but I remember the titty rockets from the cartoon.
Any body remember Brave Starr? Set in the future on the planet “New Texas” it featured cowboys, a cybernetic horse, and a Native American intergalatic space marshall named Bravestarr, with the eyes of a hawk, strength of a bear, and his cybernetic horse/sidekick.
One of my creative writing teachers in college was a writer for that show. As I recall, the quality was pretty good, but it was only on the air 2 seasons. My favorite part was when the smart-mouthed robo-horse would pull his lever-action laser cannon out of his leg and seriously fucked some bad-guys shit up.
Oh man, you just brought back a flood of memories. I had that toy! It was part of the Shogun Warriors toy line which also featured a really cheesy Godzilla toy that’s only trick was that it had a small, plastic flame tongue that was controlled by a lever in the back of it’s head.
EDIT: I was trying to attach a picture, but it’s not coming through. Here’s a link to some old Mattel catalog pics that should give you an idea:
I had all those!!! Lost every missile, hand and anything else that might have shot out of those guys, but I LOVED them, so big. After those I wanted all my toys to be big like those, but they never made toys that were big like that and playable as far as I know since.

Oh my god. You really posted that. The only reason I watched “Recess” was because it came on before school. My choices were limited. You had an option. I didn’t.
The theme song is permanently etched into my brain. Michelangelo was my favorite because he’s a party dude. I also liked the fact that splinter was a radical rat.
Watching the show also made me very anti anchovies as a child.
