‘Automan’ (1983): Tron-meets-Knight-Rider-meets-Airwolf craziness
Hot on the heels of Tron (1982) came Automan, a TV show so successful only 12 episodes aired. Watching the intro I wonder why… although the kid in me knows I would have been all over it if I had known about it back then. Read More

It pitches two teams of fabricators against each other, using old clunkers as a base to fit a given set of weapons… The result... Read More
M.A.S.K. the live-action movie trailer… almost!
M.A.S.K (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) is one of our favorite cartoon ever, definitely in the top 3.

With Transformers on its second instalment already and G.I Joe coming soon in theatres, we have good hope to see the... Read More
