The 15 coolest action-adventure cartoons of the 80’s you’ll never forget

1. THE TRANSFORMERS
And on our No.1 spot is the all time popular 80’s cartoon series, The Transformers. I believe no one will ever object on the Transformers for being the coolest cartoons of the 80’s. It’s unique, advance, catchy, not-too-cheesy, innovative, creative, entertaining, mind boggling and above all—-CAPITAL COOL! 80’s would not be the era of the Cartoon Glory if not for the Transformers. Before its existence, Voltes V, Mzinger Z and Daimos ruled the Robot World in the Cartoon world, all of which were created and aired during the 70’s. But Transformers overshadowed them all with its newest feature that people in the 80’s have never seen before– that is robots transforming into earth designed vehicles that caught the imagination of the kids of all ages. It was so awesome that Kids then were puzzled on how the animation was done with its split second scenes of transformation. The Sound effects were so new at that time that the series took the future of robots into new heights. Aside from their superb appearance and fantastic personalities, Tranformers were also the First Robot Cartoons that showed human emotions and human-like manner of talking. The growth of new plots and addition of new characters on both protagonist and antagonist fences kept the Children of the 80’s atuned to this new sci-fi action adventure cartoon. The Transformers were re-syndicated in different seasons but the following versions did not match with the success of the Generation 1 autobots and decepticons. Truu to the unverified popularity of the Transformers in the 80’s, the live action movie in 2007 pave the way for its official claim to stardom and worldwide acceptance. In Philippine TV, the Transformers was first aired on IBC 13 back to back with GI Joe during it’s Saturday afternoon block. For so many years IBC 13 had the rights of the Transformers and GI Joe until the 90’s came and RPN 9 was able to air its encore. In the US, it first aired on September 1984, then in the United Kingdom in early 1985. The pilot introduced Optimus Prime’s Autobots (Brawn, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Gears, Huffer, Windcharger, Bluestreak, Hound, Ironhide, Jazz, Mirage, Prowl, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, and Hauler) and Megatron’s Decepticons (Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Reflector, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy and Shockwave. After the success of Season 1 and 2 of the franchise, Hasbro then made an animated movie of the same title in which Optimus Prime died and was replaced by Rodimus Prime. After that, the Transformer’s popularity gradually declined and the following seasons did not met or surpass the popularity established by the Generation 1 Transformers. The Charisma of these Robots are seemingly endless that even in the CGI version of Hollywood raked money and fame in its showing last year. Truly, the title “King of 80’s cartoons” belong solely to the Transformers—More than Meets the Eye.
80’s Cartoons are nostalgic. They give me goosebumps whenever I see them again on DVD. To say that the 80’s cartoons are primeval and cheesy is an understatement because these Cartoons made childhood years in the 80’s fun, exciting and full of meaning. In these cartoons that we grew up with, the lessons in life are often mirrored on those talking celluloids which somehow prepared us in our adolescent years. Comparing the Cartoons of the 90’s to the 80’s is like comparing Pinoy idol to American Idol. It’s true that the 80’s generation has no gadgets, no computer graphics and no tech savvy generated cartoons. But that’s actually a good thing because the difference of people who grew up with 80’s cartoons from the the generation of the 90’s and 2000’s is that we from the 80’s knew how to have fun in life, as what is shown in almost 500 cartoon series aired on that decade. Life is sometimes a cartoon, there will always be choices between good and evil yet life remains colorful as ever. Given the choice to choose between Celluloid Cartoons and computer generated animation, I say I’ll go for the latter… it is the trademark of the 80’s and no one can ever see what our young eyes have seen during Saturday mornings, Friday nights and 4pm every afternoon. Wherever an 80’s baby go, may it be in bars, coffeehouses or parties, a conversation about 80’s cartoon will give their eyes a glow, just like the Thundercats, because inside that adult being is a child within ready to watch the cartoons over and over again, reminiscing the wonderful era of the 80’s cartoons that we once had.

yeah! I’m loving this post bluep. Though most of the cartoons you featured I’m not even aware of because I’m one of those poor kids whose home didn’t have a tv set kaya nakikipanood lang lagi. I only got to catch up on these series when torrents and the likes became available in the internet. Pero bakit puro “poor kids” cartoon versions ang fineature mo? hahaha
one bioman, I always play the role of Green 2 with perfect mimicry of his green boomerang. hahaha, and I won’t allow myself to take the role of Peebo. Lols!
subconsciously, my favorite cartoon villain back then is Shadow Weaver. I liked it’s hand movements when creating spells. hahaha
