That was pretty good and I remember watching most of those but there were a couple of big omissions like Robotech, Transformers and Voltron. Here's another 80s tribute with them and others:

the Generation 1 Transformers was the best IMHO. the movies of late, are alright, I LOVE seeing the autobots and decepticons all live action, but, absolutely hate some of the designs. I am sorry, Megatron was not a blasted jet, he was a freaking GUN. Soundwave was not a satellite, he was an RCA type walk man. Starscream? UM NO. Not an F22 Raptor, an F15 Eagle. And Optimus Prime? UM... yes, an 18 wheeler, but not the style used. Okay... time to stop being angry and be glad they have done atleast some justice by using Peter Cullen as Prime :P

Did anyone watch the Battletech cartoons?
This is not actually showing my age since it came out in 1994, but I was still glad to find it on YouTube again:

I remember the Battletech Cartoon XD. I had an original Ravage that in 'disguise mode' looked like a micro cassette. Also had the white version of Optimus Prime. Forget what its name was. Also, I have a G1 Sideswipe sitting on my computer desk XD.

I was too young in the 80's to really remember them :blink:

But I can't say 80's kids are old because I was one, if only for a few years :P

Well, I am 24 and I remember many of those quite well, also a lot more than the ones in that video.

And there is nothing wrong with showing your age: many of the cartoons/anime of the 70s-90s are the best of all time IMO.
