Sci-Fi and Fantasy Cartoons

Ok I need help. I'm searching for this cartoon I remember watching as a kid in early/mid eighties, and I've gone through the web tons of times with no success. The cartoon had a really distinctive theme, it was basically a scifi/another world with good vs evil. But the evil characters were infected with some disease that covered there faces with red blotches and made them evil. The good characters wore spacesuits to protect themselves but could become infected and switch sides. So all the characters could keep switching between good and evil by becoming infected or cured.
I think it was on after Jayce and the Wheeled warriors on the BBC in england, if that helps. If anyone can tell me what it was, they are the king/queen of cartoon lore!!!!!!
cheers,

I'd forgotten about this thread!
Aaaah memories! :)

Some other sci-fi cartoons:
Starcom - ships which magnetically locked together
Galaxy High - high school with Aliens and "Hi. I'm Jim", the giant Gym building.
Bucky O'Hare - plucky space rabbit with mental problems...well, he was always concerned about his Complex wasn't he??
The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers - 4 cops who touched their badges to activate their "special powers".
Oh & welcome to the forums Kintu - I don't recognise the cartoon - are you sure it was a cartoon & not live action or puppets?

A couple of others I remember: Marine Boy (with his Oxygum)

and another I can't quite remember the name of (think it was in the 80s) about three guys and they had these vehicles packed with missiles and stuff that they used to regularly save the Earth with. I think one of the machines was a bike called Wild Weasel.

And another couple I thought of that were quite good. Ulysses (and then a number ...can't quite remember). Basically the Odyssey in a SciFi environment.

Another space one involving evil vegetation and a kid and a few other oddballs. I'm sure there was a character called Trillian in this one.

God! I've spent far too long in front of the TV.

Found the Wild Weasel, it was one of the machines in The Centurions 'POWER EXTREME' ;) Great cartoon, even had an orang-utan in it! :D
 
Anyone mentions Starchaser the legend of Orin and Titan AE yet. I vaguely remember seeing starchaser as a kid and really enjoying it. Not seen Titan AE yet.

What about Tron?

I have also been searching for that cartoon that I saw here in the US when I was very young in the early 80s. I remember it was futurstic and some alien virus that infected those caught in some light and I remember the good guys rode around in these vehicles that was pretty much a tire with the rider in the center...it was pretty cool. If anyone can provide some insight, it would make my day.

Are you thinking of The Spiral Zone? That was a good one although it was only around for one season.
 
I watched Metropolis last night and I was fairly bored. I don't know though, give it a try with some gin and it's probably just fine.
 
I used to love Battle of the Planets when i was younger. Superb stuff, if a little kooky.
 
Titan AE really was a good one. Better than I expected it to be, that's for sure.


Other sci-fi/fantasy cartoons....hmm....




Did anyone ever watch Gummi Bears? It was on the Disney Channel during the late 80's, early 90's. It was one of my favorites as a kid......
 
The plants vs machines cartoon was called 'Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors' in the uk, I hope that helps.

As for the cartoon with the bike x-frame called 'Wild Weasel', I think there was one called 'Depth Charge' as well and they shouted 'POWER EXTREME!' before having their attachment vehicle parts beamed down from a space station run by a woman and an orang-utan!

Ring any bells?
 
Ahh, forgot I posted before with 'Centurions'. Meh, my memory must be going south XD
 
If someone asked me what the best fantasy cartoon i've ever seen, He-man and the masters of the universe would be my choice. Pure pleasure of watching, ehh, pitty they are not doing cartoons like that anymore :(
