These look vaguely familiar, especially due to those wheel designs. I think I had one...will have to research further, lol.
yes loved that showBruce Coville is the shit. I read every single one of his books as a kid.
I remember all of this stuff, especially Robotix (I think my set is in my parents basement still)
Does anybody here remember Hypernauts? It was a live action saturday morning show that aired like 6 episodes before getting cancelled. It was a legit scifi drama for kids and it blew my mind as a kid. To this day, I've never found another person that has ever heard of it

I knew I could count on you Slayven! If anybody else remembered it, it would be you
Yeah they canceled it right when it was getting good. But they did air it like 6 am in the morning.
Carmen Sandiego. One of the great cartoon theme songs of the era.

Dot and the Whale
Does anyone else remember BraveStarr? I rarely see it come up in threads like this.
Looking back, some British TV shows were just, odd.
Do do do do dooo Bell and Sebastian Do do do do Bell and Sebas...

Edit: oh yeah it was definitely Megaforce and I think I looked it up the last time a thread like this came around
I had no idea that the band got their name from somewhere else.
Robot Jox was awesome! I was hoping that recent robot dual would somewhat replicate the craziness that is Robot Jox.
but I went absolutely crazy for the 200-in-1 Radio Shack kit
In first grade (1983), I was all about Crystar.
Dark Tower was my favorite game as a kid. Wish I still had it.
I didn't know a single person who had even watched MUSCLE when I was a kid
This one was one of my favorites but I think I vaguely remember another toy line that was kind of similar with a sci-fi military theme and magnets, but on a smaller scale. I can't tell if I'm just misremembering Starcom though.

does anyone remember
Centurions
For a very, very long time I would try to talk to people my age about Eerie, Indiana and no one knew what I was talking about.
Fortunately in the last few years it feels like people have remembered and found each other online because I see it come up a lot. I guess it doesn't count as much for this thread for that reason, but it feels like it was wiped from the public memory for a long time before returning.
What about Monster in my Pocket?
I had a fair few of these as a kid. I liked the little snippets of background you got on each monster.

Most obscure toy I had was probably Manglor Mountain. You dropped the Swamp Thing lookalike into the volcano, and a bunch of ooze would pour out. So metal.
This one is going waay back. I remember it fondly. Me and My Arrow was a catchy tune. This cartoon has a message of acceptance that would be very appropriate in today's world.The Point
Manglors sucked. They advertised that you could pull the limbs off and they would stick back on and look good as new. So I pulled an arm off and was left with a one-armed "action" figure. 😢
Definitely remember that show. I only had one friend who actually had the toys but I was so jealous. 8-9 year old me thought it was the coolest idea he'd ever seen. I think your vehicles and armor would explode when you played against the tvNot sure if anyone remembers this one:

I think the toys would interact with the show somehow but i might be misremembering...
Holy shit. Hahaha four minutes apart
