Hi Everybody, I bin thinkin bout this cartoon for ages but I can't for the life of me remember either the name or the characters but I KNOW it exists. :blink:

It was on Channel 4 around the same time as Jayce and Ulysses I think and it had these guys who would put on these battle armour suit type things that looked kinda like the one Ripley wears at the end of Aliens, then obviously they'd fight the bad guys and win every time!!

Come on guys ur all Gods to me so please dont let me down!!

Cheers for that guys but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. I remember the animation being better than that one and the guys had to climb into their army rather than having it beamed down. I've remembered a few more things like I don't think it was set out in space and I think they were in a long term war with the bad guys rather than a few battles here and there.

Cheers for your help so far tho!!

Hope some1 can help cos itll kill me if no1 can!!!

Ah OK that helps. When you say they had to climb into it - can you remember if it was actually man-sized armour, or bigger? I was thinking that Robotix had manually-controlled armour which was driven from a cockpit, but if you're thinking power-loader I'm not sure that fits. Annoyingly there is another show whose name escapes me at the moment which I think might fit, although I'm not sure it's from the time you're describing. There was also a series called Captain Power but that wasn't a cartoon, although it did have some CGI effects and did involve power armour.

Any more details you can remember? Like how many regular good guys, what the baddies were like, etc?

You mite be rite bout it being from a different time i've bin watching kids cartoons for nearly 20 yrs and im not plannin on stoppin any time soon (not when they keep making modern day classics like tiny planets anyway!!) I'm pretty sure it was early 90's at the latest.

The suits the guys wore were a bit bigger than normal guy size but weren't huge power ranger type things. As for the main characters I havent got a clue. Its bound to be your typical cartoon with the group of guys and token girl and kid. At least now I know its gonna b annoying somebody else if you cant quite remember the name. After all uve got a much betta chance of finding it than me!

This actually sounds familiar, but I can't think of what it might be.

Hmm. If it wasn't set in space, the Inhumanoids might be a possibility - that was underground but there were full-body battlesuits involved which might fit your description, and it was a cartoon.

Ah, just found the series I was thinking of - not shown here in the UK that I know of. This was mid-nineties and went by the name of ExoSquad, and it's the closest I can think of to Powerloader style armour although I think it may have been set in space - see if this rings any bells:
