Mystery Cartoon

Post by Cal Wright »

Alright, this is going to be a tough one. I am trying to find out the name of a cartoon and anything else I can about it, and all I have are a couple of clues to go on.

This cartoon used to come on the Fox station here back in probably the early to mid 80s. About 84-85 I guess. All I remember about it is this. There were I think three subteranean monsters. One I think was red and was sort of scaley, one was yellow and the last one was green. I remember the green one having like tentacle fingers and part of his limb coming off and it sprouted another one of itself while regenerating its arm. There was a toy line for them. Fellow denizen Tropen has a toy of the green one and he says it's as big as my Kenner AT AT (if any of you know how big that machine is.)

If anyone has a clue about what this could be. Name of the series, name of the characters, something about the monsters anything where I could get a search going. I have no idea if this is some crappy cartoon or a long lost jewel. Help me out plase! Mario is missing!

You're not thinking of "Tranzor Z," are you? I used to love that cartoon.

No, that's not it. No robots in this one. Might have been vehicles, there were always vehicles in 80's cartoons. Either way. The closest thing I can tell you is the animation would be something akin to Thundercats, Silverhawks, M.A.S.K. standard animation at the time.

Hell naw. Bionic six was the cartoon with the family wasn't it? Like if you took a package of Partridge Family cake mix, dumped in a bowl, deficated, then cracked two superhero teams and mixed them for five minutes on medium speed.

Sounds like the Inhumanoids to me. Wow I feel old having to remember that.

Good call Supes. I did a search on Bionic Six to make sure my one sided run on joke was well placed. It was of course. However, I wound up at a site called 80scartoons.com or something like that. A little searching and I found what I was looking for. I believe it was called the 'Inhumanoids' The only good picture I can find that seems to be familiar is this one

It's a pic of the toy of the green monster which seems to match what Tropen said his figure looks like. I'm gonna check it out tomorrow after work, but I think this was the series. If you try to do an internet search you just get a bunch of sites trying to sell you the DVD sets.

You know what? I am pretty good at remembering music and songs and such, and I actually remember the song for the show or the commercials. I forget which exactly, but I can remember it's tune.

Actually give props to Seele there. Your post got in before I saw it. That seems to be it. I've found a couple of sites that had soom good screen shots.

Tnx, my knowledge of 80's cartoons scares even me, and for the Inhumanoid's, I used to have most of those toys for that.

Was this the cartoon with the monster that would say decompose to something it captured, breath on it causing it to, well decompose?

Indeed it was. His name was D.Compose.
