Boy's shows

"VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE"
The basic premise of this was this; an evil king wanted for many years to take control over a portion of the galaxy. A great scientist on planet AURORA invents a super Robot called Voltron that consistently defeats the evil King, However en evil witch casts a spell on Voltron breaking it apart into 5 mechanical Lions that would each have to be individually piloted rendering Voltron incapable of being reformed. SO the evil king takes over. Finally some years later the legend of the Voltron Robot reaches the GALAXY Force. (kinda like the interglactic United nations) who are fighting the evil kings son's armies. SO a group of the greatest Pilots ever is assembled and sent to fnd the remnants of the Voltron Robot and attempt to reform VOLTRON. OBVIOUSLY THEY SUCCEDED and the show was about them using the robot to fight the evil king's son's armies. Then about 2 years later a 2nd cartoon series was created where galazy force built a 2nd Voltron Robot out of space vehicles and used it to fight in OUter space against the King's nephew's army on the other side of the galaxy.

"SilverHawks"
A story about a group of humans who underwent a special procedure to give them special abilities in space along with bionic powers by replacing body parts with ones made of metal. They use these powers to guard the Artificial sun which provides light and heat to the dark area of the galaxy. Their chief nemesis is an evil gangster Named Monstar who wishes to assume control of the Artificial sun so he can extort the planets which depend on it. He uses the energy from a collapsed moon to transform himself into a powerful monster.

The next two cartoons, GOBOTS and TRANSFORMERS had nearly identical premises, A race of friendly, living machines from another planet arrive here on earth in an attempt to prevent another, EVIL race of machines from conquering us. And the BIG TRICK? THEY all have the ability to shape shift into ordinary everyday machines and vehicles.The only difference between them was they were on different TV channels
