I remember watching this on Fox Kids when I was a kid. Along with Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Godzilla, The Extreme Ghostbusters. Saturday morning cartoons are awesome!

I loved working on this show, as well as Godzilla and The Extreme Ghostbusters ... and I note that Extreme Ghostbusters was my first gig in animation

I was watching both seasons recently. Did it stay true to the original story or was it episodes involving the main cast?

It is really it's own thing...The original comic was an awesome two part spectacle with very little story. A visual feast to be sure... but not much going on otherwise. The stories in the series had to be more character / plot driven in order to support 26 episodes of a 22 minute show. They tried to mine as much reference from the original property as they could, but had to add a lot more to make the show.

So the show had more material than the source. I see. I really liked how it took on different subject matters between man and machine, it was gold for its time.

Actually we did two. A normal season is 13 and we did 26 episodes.... but I agree I wish we had been allowed to do more.

Holy crap I loved this show, and the comic! Wish they had a boxset of it, that'd be the greatest. Well done!

god bless Hulu and their corporate overlords. May their streaming run limited commercials for all time!

I always loved the contrast of the clean, cartoony looking exterior and the credibily engineered inside working of the robots in this show.
It's really too bad the animation department wasn't as good as the pre-production department.
Anyway, I wouldn't be the same if you hadn't work on this show. BigGuy and Rusty is a massive influence on who I am today, mostly because of your designs.
I love you Thomas. xD

I can't believe you worked on Big Guy and Rusty! I was obsessed with that show when I was a kid!

Nice work!
I loved the Frank Miller/Geoff Darrow work on that.
That mini-series would have made an awesome movie.

sweet. I always though it was kinda dirty using a child "robot" as an arm attachment.
