Name the 80's cartoon....

    Note: I write this sober and I am not high.....

    Does anyone remember the 80's cartoon about the cute colored dinosaurs (no it wasn't Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or Dino Riders)?

    The premise of the story was about the cute dinosaur like creates who were on earth but could talk. The arrived in what I remember to be a giant mechanical red brachiosaurus (i think it also few).

    The dinosaur themselves all had a special power each. One blew bubbles, one had sticky tape come out of its mouth and one used its walrus like teeth to staple stuff. I think they were 5 of them, one red (bubble guy) and one yellow (staple guy) for sure.

    It was on 'The Children Channel' before it became TCC...

    Ya i know... random, but I am hoping someone else remembers. The name of the show started with D and Google is not helping....

    Edit: After googling Diplodos, there was already a post on boards about it: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=100371

    Anyone remember that old cartoon with the Sharks on motorbikes....

    They were these mutant sharks, built like brick-shiithouses and drove harleys.


    they could also dive into the ground and "swim" through the concrete.




    seriously messed up story line but a cool show none the less

    Obligatory "cartoons were better back then" post.

    (they weren't really. Just have better intro sequences).

    Was that Sharkey and George, or was that a different cartoon?

    Anyone remember "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" - those guys had some nifty fighin' machines

    MASK had great toys (basically they just ripped off GI Joe & Transformers and then mashed them together) but in retrospect it was an awful cartoon.

    Fair enough. But if you ever want to ruin that image then try youtube the episode where MASK go to Cork.
