Anyone remember the Visionaries cartoon?

The Visionaries is my 2nd best cartoon behind the turtles. I saw it in 88 or 89 and there was only 13 episodes. I just recently bought the DVD for the whole series in the UK and the first time i've seen this cartoon in ages and it hasn't lost it's charm. The Visionaries was a bit like Tranformers but with human knights who tranformed in animals. I bought nearly all the toys and vehicles at the time. It was knights in an age of magic.

There should've been another of season but sadly there wasn't because he was feared not popular enough. But if it had more time it could've been successful, i thought it had a good formula for a successful cartoon, with the voices, they had their catchphrases, the rythmes they told when summoning the magic from their power staffs. It's made me want to do my own Visionaries website, there's only a few of them.

It also had potential to be a great videogame but one was never released. I wonder if the Visionaries will ever be revived, because it was such a good cartoon for only 1 season and one of the few cartoons that caught my imagination.

Oh, man. I remember those. I even collected them. They were weird. I don't know how I got into those. Must have been the fantasy thing.

Looking back now, the toys were kind of cheesy if you think about it. I mean, hologramatic chests and banners. Yeah.

The cartoon wasn't too bad, though I never saw much of it. TMNT took up most of my TV time, as did The Centurions and G.I. Joe.

I don't beleive that at all, those figures and action veichles were pretty innovative and original

As for the cartoon, I'd recommend you see a great deal of it, it was amazing, characters were developed, there was a great deal of continunity, it's right up there with other obscure underated classics like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and M.A.S.K
