The Most 'Awesomest' cartoons you saw as a child

Ulisse 31 was probably my favorite cartoon when I was a child. I am rewatching the episodes on youtube now, lol! The theme song sounds just as cool (if not cooler) now as it did back then.

I loved Dungeons and Dragons too, Inspector Gadget, The Raccoons, Thundercats, He-Man, Transformers, La Abejita Maya (Maya the Bee), Jose Miel (Hutch the Bee, uber tragic toon), The Adventures of Gigi, Voltron (the lions, I hated the ships version)

Those are some good picks - I'd throw in Thundercats too... But Ulysses has them all beat (just).

Of the ones I grew up with, the most profoundly affecting (and "awesomest" IMO) were:

'Robotech' (particularly the first 'Macross' part)
'Star Blazers' (aka 'Space Battleship Yamato')
'Ulysses 31'
'Astro Boy' (1980's version)
'Mysterious Cities of Gold'
'Star Wars: Droids'
'Transformers'
'Voltron'

All but the last two actually hold up wonderfully today and I still love them (TF and Voltron are wonderfully nostalgic but - TF especially - are pretty shallow and poor through adult eyes! :( 'TF: The Movie', though, still rocks! :D ).

I also grew up with:

'Mighty Orbots'
'Centurions'
'Danger Mouse'
'Silverhawks'
'Flash Gordon' (cartoon)
'Defenders of the Earth'
'Thundercats'
'Inspector Gadget'
'Spartacus and the Sun Beneath The Sea'

Which were still cool, but didn't make my lost of "most awesomest" though.

Honorable mention to:

'Robostory'

... which I remembered LOVING as a kid but would have to see again to see if it still held up now (best I could find were scratchy old VHS copies on YouTube of a few eps, that I haven't had chance to watch yet).
