To prove that I know more about Transformers than ILLB... 80s Cartoon Trivia!!!

[Wanna-be Buddha]

It's so easy even I could do it.

Post a question about an 80s cartoon, and subsequent posters get to try to answer it. Make them as obscure as possible.

For instance:

In Thundercats, what was the name of Cheetara's younger sister's hairdresser?



It was Barbara. Duh.


Keep it to cartoons that aired from 1980-1990. Go-Bots, Rock Lords, Battle Beasts, Inhumanoids, He-Man... and, of course, Transformers.

Mods, I know there's the "I Miss the 80s" thread, but I think this is a specific enough topic to merit its own thread. Your call, of course.


Here's the first one:

What was the name of the cybernetic alien race that created the Transformers?

Dang it, I *should* know that :banghead:

ETA: Primacron?

Oops - I forgot just editing my post wouldn't alert WBB to potential answers (which evidently google doesn't know, either :rolleyez:)

Primacron? Or did he just do Unitron? Or am I just really confuzzled?

Good guesses, but not quite. It was the Quintessons. They invented the Transformers, and all the other robotic races they encountered in the show, including Unicron.

Quick follow-up: Who played Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie (the 1986 one, not the 2007 one)?

Next question:

What was the name of the bizarre little copper-colored alien kid thing on Silverhawks?

oooo - one of those freaky 4-headed things! Those gave me the creeps.

Copper kid! ("Planet of the Mimes" is certainly on my list of places to go :rolleyez:)

[Wanna-be Buddha]

Heh.

[merry slug]

So I get to ask a question now?

Okay - Which Misfits band member (Jem and the Holograms) had blue hair?

[Wanna-be Buddha]

Oh crap...

[Wanna-be Buddha]

...Aja?

[merry slug]

Close Buddha - Aja was part of the Holograms. "Stormer" was the Misfit.

What was the name of The old man that chased the Smurfs, and his cat??
