"You cannot face Spidrax alone!" You need Optimus Prime!

This is one of my favorite toy series from the 1980's.

I had the Hyve and Spiderflier...they were my fave toys after HeMan!

Oh God! I never thought I would see this superb cartoon of my childhood again... I thought I dreamt about it!

I loved those toys growing up. :) Great idea too with the glove puppets :)

I remember the bug toys were gloves. lol Played with them untill they fell apart. lol

probably the darkest cartoon intro in the 80's

I had the dragoflyer!! It fit on ur hand like a glove, turn it on and the wings flapped! Cool toy, short lived cartoon.

Micronauts meets Heavy Metal The Movie! I love the Dungeons & Dragons actor voices of Venger, Tiamat the Dragon & Uni the Unicorn in this cartoon!

WOW! What a blast from the past! I had every toy in this series. The hive was awesome! I liked the villans much better in this series, I mean I was like 5 and into catching bugs and these toys were GIANT BUGS!! Ah the memories! The toys and toons from the 80's from my child hood were hands down the best, second to none!!

I didn't know this story began with so much tragedy. Some top scientists were working on a breakthrough discovery to try and improve their society, but as a result they were horribly mutated into insectoid creatures, and chaos ravaged the planet. Couldn't they have just had it take place on an alient bug planet? I can't believe anyone would try to make light of that kind of situation.

Such a classic! Anyone remember Visionaries?

I got Dargon for Christmas in '85, and saw this Very briefly then.It didn't quite catch on for me...it was so short-lived.

I had the toys and love the cartoons

Love this reminds me of Bug of the Micronauts!

Wow can't believe this is available here! I remember watching this in Italian on TV in the early morning back in 1986, guess it was aired just once or twice. Impossible to find it in Italian now, great to find it in English.

Dargon and The Sectaurs of the Shining Realm against General Spidrax and The Sectaurs of the Dark Domain!

I remember this and the toys when they came out.

Wow! i loved this when i was a kid back then. this, transformers, visionaries, mask and the gobots rocks!!!

I've never seen any of episodes, but my childhood was marked by these "persons"... I still have all of them... almost 30 toys... I have now 30 years old. It's just amazing to see that things moving on the scene... Thank you for post it

@CodeBlue40 Yup! I had the toys too! Compeletly unique and fun! The cartoon was good too, but a bit short-lived! Man, I love being an 80's kid, WE had the BEST, unlike what these poor kids have today!

Sectaurs should come back one day. 😀👍

Wow...never knew Sectaurs had a series! Pretty interesting! Anyone notice the voice of Optimus Prime in this episode?

Madkid99 I am totally feeling this 80's relic. I'm a huge Sectaurs fan till this day I was only a year old when this show hit and even though I never saw it I collected all the figures and comics. But I never caught the show so this is a treat. You just gotta post the rest, I'll be waiting!

this was a very underrated cartoon and toy line, i went through alot of fazes as a child, i was into he-man, then voltron, then sectaurs, then gi joe and transformers and had alot of toys from all these.

I remember watching Sectaurs at Grandma's on that big heavy furniture TV's from Circuit City

I never knew there was a cartoon based on this toyline. I remember seeing these toy as a kid. My parents wouldn't buy my brother and I any of them because they thought the wings looked too fragile and that we would break them in no time.

I had these toys, they was awesome.

I have some of these toys but I'd never seen the cartoon before.

aw man i remember this came on channel 21 in fort worth,tx back in the 80s didnt last long tho'

"How do you like that, maggots!" LOL! It was so much fun to watch this. I collected the toys and read the Marvel comics when I was a kid, but I've never seen this show until now. Thanks! (Incidentally, that's gotta be Mr. Optimus Prime himself, Peter Cullen, voicing Mantor, right?)

I love that narrator voice

I had completely forgoten this existed!!

I remember having the toys and they were awesome.

Deserve a video game treatment, either strategy game like Total War, hack and slash like Dark souls, God of war with flying mode like Panzer dragoon

Symbion! Nice.

wow, this is one of the only cartoons where the toy actually looked better than the show, lol!

Damn they don't make them like this anymore

Why is Optimus Prime hiding in that Sectaur???

Yeah, this just proves that he was in everything.

Wow, I also had the toys from this. Although even then, I vaguely remembered the show

You know i actually kinda feel sorry for Toxin. He tries and tries and all he gets is kicked!

I loved this show

2:12 the bearded guy looks like adam jensen from deus ex.

Skito alway treated Toxic like shit. These are some of the best toys from the 80's loved them!

The most stressful cartoon I've ever seen. I need to lie down.

i hope this will come to dvd soon

Wow, did I just see farmers growing mary jane in a cartoon? Good Go... I mean God Satan, you don't see toons like that anymore. ;)

and that bumblebee voice too (ironic)

thanks for posting this. I always wanted to get the figures when I was a kid, but they were just too expensive, and I rather buy a Transformer. Anyway, these episodes bring back memories

This show was not long lived at all, think there were only 6 episodes, i had them all on tape, then about a month later my dad taped over it with an episode of the golden girls for my mom /cry. i had all the toys including the hive.... wish i could go back.

Damn Ur taking back.

Damn it! Do you know how long ive been tryin to remember what the hell this was called. Thanx for posting this. I remember th commercials would be mini series....

The voice actor for Spide-Man also did G1 Bumblebee.

Great to see this again! I'd almost given up hope of it being on KZfaq. Well done, madkid99! :-)

THere was a TV show???? I only knew the comics. Thank you for this

I still have Spidrax and his flyer.

I remember this!!

Yeah, Peter Cullen spoke for Mantor of the goodguys. He also spoke for the beginning of Voltron

I hear the voices of Destro, Optimus Prime, Shipwreck, Springer, and some from the robotix series as well....

Back when TV was worth watching.

@culturaleyes I initially thought the same thing.Why not just make it a battle between good & evil on a insect evolved alien world, but I think that the shows creators were trying to make a point about real scientist engaging in dangerous experiments like nuclear energy, which was a real hot button topic in the '80s.

I think the one thatdoes voice for General Spidrax is the one that does for Destro in G.I.Joe.

The commericals were a mini story themselves.

I remember Visionaries. I have the Visionaries on DVD

I had some of the Sectaurs Figures

it's a great toy line! I have all of them

Thanks for posting this. :-)

Dammit! I hadn't seen the intro in so long I'd forgotten. It's all that chick in the tie's fault?!

toys were cool as fuck, put your hand in the insect they rode on to use as a puppet

I think these toys never really took off because even the good guys are creepy as fuck.

Yeah they were! Check ebay, there really well made and they still kick ass even by todays standerds so check em out you won't regret it. Just yesterday I poped in some battires in Spiderflyer and Draragonfly and they both still work! If thats not craftsmanship I don't know what is.

Man I had like all the figures for thise

This seems sort of familiar to Spider Riders

that peter david cullen voices

2:11 - I knew it!! Prime is a Triple-changer!!! Is Spidrax Destro from GI-Joe??

I’d declare Exterminatus on Symbione as I soon saw…..anything.

Yeah... I can see why this only lasted 5 episodes....

Unholy Shit, I just heard my favorite Jewish Transformer, Optimus Prime aka Peter Cullen!

Nice

4:53 someone call peta

Not a bad cartoon I missed out on because it was gone before The big money bag 4 from Hasbro.

Thumbs up if Cracked sent you here. Also: WTF?

Intro narrated by Ace McCloud?!

Where did you find these episodes in such excellent quality?

Hello where the hell is the DVD for this show? All our other great ones are coming out lets get this made.

THIS WAS DA SHIT...LOVE IT

If only you had used the map before the bad guy found it. Oh wait, we don‘t really need it because people know where it is. Ah, I miss the 80’s and the lack of intelligence in our adversaries.

Yes,this is the voice of Mentor (sp)

More 2 come....Just Wait!!!

Galaxy Rangers anyone?

@kingp05 I didn't know that there was a Sectaurs comic. Who published it? Do you know how many issues?

If you and your brother were anything like my brothers and myself, then your parents were most likely right.

That asshole's pet/bug/whatever saved his life, yet he kicks the shit out of it multiple times?

Funny how it's spelled "Sectaurs", but they pronounce it "SecTARS" (rhyming with "stars")...

Lots of great voice acting from Mr. Peter Cullen..just not a strong story to keep people interested

80年代冷门科幻动画神作

The ancients from the cartoon look like humans, how lame.

I love my 80 stuff. Centurions transformers and mask etc, visionaries too. But this is just plain awful ;)

the voice of mantor is optimus prime what a rip off is like we cant tell shut we know prime
