The History of Starriors and the Lost Animated Series

Starriors was a robot toyline created by Tomy in association with Marvel Comics in 1984. They were based on Zoids, but had a new storyline that U.S. Zoids had not had at all. Six Marvel mini-comics were distributed with the toys. Marvel also produced a four-issue limited series written by Louise Simonson, with art by Michael Chen, Ian Akin, and Brian Garvey, and covers painted by Bill Sienkiewicz.
There is much speculation about the existence of Starriors animated material. A 1984 trade advertisement released by Tomy stated "There is currently a Starriors television mini-series in production to air in Spring and Fall '85."

The Starriors fanbase? I thought it was only composed of me, myself and I. I have purchased the full set of the Marvel comics mini series THREE times. Once when it came out, once in my twenties, and again Last Year. Still love it.

Starriors got me in trouble, man.

The comic was really entertaining and it's always interesting how half of Marvel's random toy/comic tie ins actually ended up with good writers, I'm guessing in part because it's easier to write a coherent story when you're not being asked to do crossovers or have a random tie-in to promote a completely different comic that's hot at the moment.

Yes! His discs could do some real damage. One of the few projectiles that could knock a figure over easily. This and the Micronaut Battle Cruiser missiles were always used in my battles (and the Star Defender). It took a lot of effort to take out Deadeye so everyone was terrified of him. Great memories.

Oh my god. Dude, you do not even know how happy this video made me. Waaaaay back in the 80’s, a kid down the street from me had a bunch of these toys and loved playing with them but I no idea what they were actually called and neither did he, for whatever reason. Like we just called Armored Battlestation “The Big Snake Thing” and the others had names like “Drill Guy”. I am 39 years old and I have been wondering what the hell these were for *decades* now but didn’t even know where to start looking. I’ve never seen them mentioned in other 80’s toy shows or articles. Thank you for making my day!

I'm a huge fan of Starriors and have been from the day they were first released. I love all of the figures (with Sawtooth being my top favourite character) and Marvel mini-series had a great story and awesome artwork. The toys still hold up after all of these years, although their wind-up action can be the one thing to suffer due to striped gears. This line will always hold a special place in my heart and is right up there with the likes of Transformers, G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., and all the rest of the 80's classics. Thanks for making this video and keep up the great work! ^_^

Because I swear I watched an episode of Starriors, apparently it was just a commercial that left such an impression on my young consumer mind. Thanks again for educating me on this long forgotten toy line!

@IffyJottere 4 жыл бұрын

Nice vid! I was a Starriors collector as a child, myself. When discussing the mythology, while decluttering it, you forgot to mention the fact that the Armored Battle Station, as a Guardian, marked the entrance to the so-called "Forbidden Zone" where no Starriors could go, (presumably except for Guardians, which were all extinct but for the ABS). There, the humans were kept in stasis until the solar flares trail off. Also, fun fact! I tried, with my puny little hands, to crack open the cockpit of one or two of my Starriors to get at the little android inside each one. I didn't care that it was probably just a little useless figurine coated in metallized paint. I wanted them to be interchangeable. Never had any luck, nor any guts to take a screwdriver to the thing and just crack it open that way.

And if I remember right this had a super dark storyline where the bad guys already had killed all the humans. You don't see that much in kids toys.

Lots of toylines used the "faction + 'type of toy'" scheme, and the "model" was just the specific gimmick. The fact that the NAMES of Starriors' "type of toy" groups weren't very descriptive makes it much worse than most, but the problem isn't really one of complexity.

What I did notice, years later, were other lines of toys (potentially bootlegs, not even sure) that featured more vehicle based designs (a crane, a drilling machine, a small car with lots of guns, etc.) that had the same little holes and accessories which I could interchange with the original one I had. Honestly, there was a lot of potential for these, kind of surprised they died out.
