If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I'm with Ob.
The cartoon wasn't the greatest, but the toys were/are ace-I've still got a load too. Always wanted the orange car called 'Scorpion'-might see about getting one off of ebay for old times sake.
I always wanted Miles Mayhem to reprogramme T-Bob so that he would pull off Scott Trackers' head in front of his dad, and then explode taking out Boulder Hill.
Didn't look at the website yet, but I liked Visionaries and Centurions as well.

Granted, now that I've seen the intro again for the first time in like 17 years, I'll have to say that it's pretty spiffy-looking and sounding.
Still not a very good cartoon tho. 'Cause the internet-fans on various site that have these good ol' 80's shows says so.

Yeah, that MASK intro totally kicked ASS! And those were cool toys, too. I even had that gas station that turns into the base. Always was losing those Masks, though. lol
Super Mario Brothers Super Show? I thought I had that erased from my mind, Total Recall style.
The World of David the Gnome changed my life.

The intro music to M.A.S.K. and Jayce and the wheeled warriors is mighty similar if you ask me, sounds like the same band / singing dude.
I'd be more surprised if they were different people to be honest.

I love the MASK theme tune is ace. It's just so cheery and happy. Yet grooved out. I think the guy that wrote it was a secret smoker.
I mean, watch that intro as well, it's all vector graphics and strobing lights and constantly moving camera angles and dudes popping wheelies on motorbikes and other stuff you think is awesome when you're high.
Hey kids, don't worry MASK crusaders are gonna save the day with their super vision and ****, they do a wicked light show with the laser rays and stuff, Tracker's on the mission, we've got dope and munchies and it's all good, yeah.
PS Jayce also rules. In fact, it's a better tune and actually mentions gear in the lyrics: 'Let's unite the magic root and lead the Lightning League to victory over the changing form of SAAAWW-BOSS!' A flying fish and midget robot knight and a bloke who is not a drug smuggler at all, oh no, and Gandalf the master wizard head off in their space schooner on a quest to find the gear and defeat the plant men. Oh, yeah, that's the good stuff.

Visionaries animation is miles better then most of the other stuff. I was fairly impressed with it to be honest.

Yesterday, while reading this topic, I was trying to play the MASK music in my head, but every time I tried, I kept going into Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors instead!

They're both fantastic so you're a winner in the end.
Bravestar not a great tune, no.
Defenders of the Earth - crap cartoon, ******* wicked theme tune tho.
Until the bit with the kids anyway.
