Top 5 Cartoons To Instantly Trigger Your 80’s Nostalgia

This isn’t one of those annoying “if you were born in the 80’s, you’re awesome” kind of posts. We know that one cannot be awesome just because he or she is an 80’s kid. One can BECOME awesome by doing and experiencing cool and awesome stuff.

This is exactly why we decided to reminisce a little bit about some of the coolest cartoons from the 80’s, and see which 5 series paved the way for modern animation marvels we enjoy today.

5. Voltron: Defender of the Universe

This animated television series features a team of astronauts who pilot a giant Super Robot known as Voltron, and it is one of the many mecha-oriented cartoon notions from this period.

The cartoon was introduced in 1984 and it was actually a sanitized edit of two unrelated Japanese anime series, only without all the Japanese cultural references and violence.

Voltron managed to stay extremely popular to this very day, spawning numerous toylines, one CGI-animated series from the 90’s, and multiple comics series.

1. Transformers

Is there anything more awesome than a team of extraterrestrial robots who can turn into cars, trucks and who-knows-what-else?

No, there isn’t.

Transformers are pretty much the definition of awesome, which is why this concept is alive today more than ever. Back in 2007 Michael Bay managed to breathe a new life into Transformers and we all know how popular these movies turned out to be…
