Favorite 80's Cartoons

Here are some cartoons from the 1980's that stand out to me.

Scooby Doo. I don't know why it always took Fred, Scooby, and co. 30 minutes to figure out that the spooky swamp creature or scary ghost was always a regular guy dressed up in a costume. That said, I was glued to the T.V. every episode.

The Road Runner. There's just something about watching Wily E. Coyote fall off a cliff that never gets old. Throw in an anvil and some ACME T-N-T, and you've got the makings of a fine cartoon.

Transformers. It still brings tears to my eyes when Optimus Prime, in the heat of the moment, called his Autobot army to battle with the cry, "AUTOBOTS, ROLL!"

GI Joe. The Ninja guy was awesome. So were the evil twin brothers, Tomax and Xamot. But my favorite was Gung-Ho. Nobody screwed with Gung-Ho.

Other than these, the only other 80's cartoons I remember right now are Star Blazers, Mask, and GoBots. Star Blazers was on at like 6:00 a.m., which meant I was busy drooling on my pillow. Gobots was just a lame ripoff of Transformers. And to be totally honest, Mask looked so pathetic that I never watched it to see what it was about.
