Anyone remember this gem?



80's cartoons were fucking awesome. M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe, Transformers, Thundercast, He-Man. When i watch cartoons with my son, it's always the same drivel and learning friendly bullshit like Dora the explorer.....the 80's didn't teach you shit, except in the last minute of the cartoon where Duke tells you you cannot throw trash on the street. Concerned bible thumpers really killed the awesome cartoons we grew up with....and the majority of us didn't turn out to become homicidal axe wielding maniacs.

Main person behind that was J. Michael Straczynski, incidentally. He had a whole story arc planned out including the ending which was going to be a full length movie. After it got cancelled he moved on to...

Which was fuckingdarkfor a merchandising-driver kids show. Afterthatgot cancelled he tried selling a concept to Paramount about a Star Trek series set on a space station with a multi-season long central plot that would eventually turn into a war. They rejected it (then launched DS9 a while later) so he re-wrote it and called it...

Every time a "toys of our youth" discussion gets going I'm reminded that none of you seemed to have had any Micronauts. The Battle Cruiser was the big rig piece in my assortment back then.

Hornetroid and Terraphant were the second tier.

The box art for Hornetroid is some of the best to come out of that era of toys.

It was Babylon 5 from the start. He created and wanted control of all the backstory and universe of the show. He had pretty much the entire outline of the 5 season plot ready when he pitched it to Paramount. Only major rewrites were to replace characters due to actors leaving, and he condensed the original 5 year plot to 4 years when he wasn't sure PTEN would be able to keep the show running for all 5 years. Turns out his guess was pretty good; PTEN shut down after the 4th season, but luckily TNT picked up the show for the 5th season.
