I'm going to Hell

You always here people talk about their favourite 80s cartoons, such as I did yesterday, talking about Transformers. Normally when people do this they talk about the classics, Thundercats, He-Man and MASK. But what about the less popular series? I used to watch quite a lot of TV and remember the cartoons that didn't seem to go past one series, or I saw very briefly, then never really saw much else except a few toys. Here's a few that I remember quite well:

1. Defenders of the Earth
2. Bravestar
3. Centurions
4. Visionaries
5. Dino Riders

These were some of the coolest cartoons ever made! There was just too many of them around at the time. I think quite a few people know about Defenders of the Earth, it was quite popular at the time, but not well remembered. Also Bravestar, I never really saw a proper episode myself, but remember being told about it, and I got given a collector's album once for Christmas, which was weird. I watched Centurions, and wanted the toys, but never got any, they were pretty cool.

Visionaries was one of my favourite cartoons. I got bought a video of it when I was little, and I'd watch it over and over again, and now no one else has a clue what I'm on about when I mention them. And I never have any proof on me to prove that it actually existed outside my head...

Dino Riders was awesome. I had so many Dino Riders toys, mostly the good guys toys, like the Diplodocus. But seriously, how good an idea is that? Aliens, fighting humans, all riding dinosaurs with armour and weapons strapped to them. Genius! It's like a child's wet dream! I could never persuade my parents to get me the T-Rex though, it was huge and well expensive. I saw one in a car boot sale recently, I was so tempted to get it, but Viv would not have approved, I'd already told her she couldn't get a Barbie.
