Many would agree that the 80's and the 90's was considered the boom of Saturday morning cartoons. There's pretty much a lot of good stuff back then enough to make at the least five Top 12 list. It was that good of a time. Even today you can just see how much a cartoon like Transformers is churning in lots of profit at the movies with each new installment regardless if the movie plot even followed the source material or even makes sense. We even get treated with a bunch of reboots recently as well that with Thundercats and the latest Transformers cartoon version. Heck, even Duck Tales are making a good reboot. But I think we all can agree that there are still a lot more of those old cartoons that we would like to see make a rebooted comeback. So I decided to make a list of my own.
Since there are rumors of a new He-man movie coming out and maybe a Swatkats reboot or continuation in the works Im not going to include those on the list. The 80's and 90's had plenty of good cartoons so I'm pretty sure a lot of them wont make it on this one but that just goes to show how great they all are. In any case this is my list of 12 Cartoons that Needs a Reboot.
Mummies
Alive!
Does
anybody still remember Mummies Alive? If Power Rangers and Mummies has an
undead child it would be this show. Four guardian mummies coming back to life
to protect the reincarnated spirit of an Egyptian pharaoh from an evil sorcerer
out to kill him, Each mummy aligned with the power of an Egyptian god. able to
call upon it for magical armor and powers to fight superhuman evildoers. its
mixes Egyptian themes with a modern twist as they battle characters based out
of Egyptian myth and lore.
The
Centurions: Power Xtreme
The series
revolves around the conflict between Doc Terror's cyborgs and the Centurions
who uses hard suit armor that can be outfitted with various weapons to deal
with any given danger. It themes focused on mostly how technology can be used
and abused and with how technology is used these days this show is perfect for
a reboot
Dino Riders
A cartoon
about the battle between the good Valorians and the evil Rulons on prehistoric
Earth. This is like combining Predator, Transformers and Jurassic park in one
film. Folks have been wanting to have this movie done for years or more and
frankly I'm with them. Theres even a fanart on how awesome these beasts would
look like if rendered on the big screen.
Spiral Zone
A cartoon
based on toys made by company Bandai,
the series is about an international group of soldiers fighting to free the
world from a scientist who controls much of the Earth's surface. This is like
GIJoe mix with a zombie apocalypse setting. Personally I think it would be
awesome seeing the RimFire roll into battle. This cartoon sports one of the
most awesome bikes in a cartoon since Akira's.
Jayce and
the Wheeled Warriors
Anyone
remembers this cartoon? Its the story of Jayce and his group that fights off
plant vehicles bent to control all life in the galaxy. His search for his
father will hopefully win the war. This
is like a sci fi flick, Mad Max and the Little Shop of Horrors was combined
into one. It even has some magical elements thrown in.
Inhumanoids
Inhumanoids tells
the story of the scientist-hero group, Earth Corps, as they battle a trio of
subterranean monsters called the Inhumanoids with the aid of elemental beings,
the Mutores. The story is a mix of GIJoe meet the Lord of the Rings meet
Resident Evil with its talking trees, humanoid rocks and giant hulking zombies
BraveStarr
Set in the
23rd century on a multi-cultural desert planet called New Texas it follows the
story of BraveStar a space sheriff who fights of bad guys. its mix of magic and
futuristic elements with a western feel to. It was well loved back in the 80's.
Its like the right mix of Starwars and a Western
SilverHawk
Commander
Stargazer recruited the SilverHawks, heroes who are "partly metal, partly
real," to fight the evil Mon*Star, an escaped alien mob boss. Its pretty
much like Thundercats but with cybernetic humanoids with silver armored hawk
like armor. Personally I think this will be awesome reboot and even as a real
life adaptation with proper cgi effects.
Visionaries:
Knights of the Magical Light
A story is
set on the planet Prysmos, an advanced society where all electronics and
complex machinery no longer function and the people are forced to rely on the
old magics. The show mixes magic in a world where technology no longer exist
and magical creatures now roam yet still being its own thing. Its a short lived
series that many fans would love to see rebooted.
M.A.S.K (TV Series)
Short for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) is a special
task force featuring an array of characters, led by Matt Trakker, with
transforming vehicles engaged in an ongoing battle against the criminal
organization V.E.N.O.M. (an acronym for Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem),
with an emphasis on super-powered masks worn by the characters. It sort of
mixes GIJoe and Transformers and judging by how good those shows are its about
time MASK made a comeback
Saber Rider
and the Star Sheriff
A series
was based on Star Musketeer Bismarck. It is set in the
distant future. Humans have colonized planets across the universe, creating
a New Frontier of man. In order to protect these new settlers and maintain
law and order in the New Frontier, Earth's Cavalry Command was
created. A hit series back in the 80's this show is way way overdue for a
reboot or even a movie even.
