quatsch-3 M.A.S.K. is short for Mobile Armoured Strike Command. It was a great cartoon that was as much loved by young boys as He-Man, G.I.Joe or Transformers. Like the others it had a huge toy line which is now selling through ebay very well and often expensive. M.A.S.K. was somehow more intelligent than usual action cartoons. If you found it boring, it was probably because it didn't have only action but also a lot of well constructed plots, for a kids show that is. Still though, all these stories ended with Miles Mayhem, head of evil organization V.E.N.O.M., being behind all that sinister plans. Furthermore, nobody had superpowers, only their vehicles and equipment had. The amount of characters over the 75 episodes was huge. The show was always about being a team and about justice, in the end it had the usual message, telling kids what to do or to not do. A great and classic cartoon, luckily now available on DVD in Europe.

Franklin McAlister III This show should be brought back to re-air in the United States or be released on DVD. This is one cartoon that was of a group of eleven that had advice scenes at the end of each show. I have a petition that is trying to either get the show back on TV or released on DVD so everyone can enjoy it again and let the younger generations see it for the first time. The website address for the petition is Http://www.petitiononline.com/mask/petition.htmlPlease sign this petition so we can try to convince the owners of the show to either put it on TV again or release all of the Episodes on DVD. This is one show that should be seen again and the toys be released back on the market.

Buff_jordan14 As a child in the 80's I grew up with the shows that required talent in creating. MASK, Transformers and GIJOES being good examples. Now instead of great animation like this i see Angela Anaconda and Hey Arnold on the cartoon channel. Shows that require absolutely no animating skill to create. MASK and other 80's cartoons required talent and could keep a child busy... MASK was a little known show but i loved it so much because it mixed the two biggest 80's cartoons(Transformers/GIJOES) into one great show. You had your heroes and villains wearing masks, fighting in vehicles like GIJOES. Then you had your transforming vehicles like in Transformers. This show stands as my favourite ever, it is a huge part of my childhood and once i sat in front of the TV to watch, nothing could pull me away. It is a damn shame this kind of programming isnt on anymore, but you probably know why, because its violent and will cause school shootings.(sarcasm)... If you liked 80's cartoons and by some odd miracle see MASK in your local video store, rent it if you liked 80's cartoons...

yojoedave This is a good cartoon to check out if you're looking for those cool action toons you grew up with. Just becareful you don't run into any of the final season racing episodes -- those will sour your views of this amazing show...(make sure you get the episodes made by DIC Animation, NOT KENNER!)A covert team of superheros lead by Matt Tracker, use the powerful technology of MASK to attain super powers in order to combat the evil forces of VENOM. Each MASK member has a special cool-looking vehicle to help them in their fight. The catch is, VENOM forces also have special mask technology which makes them somewhat formidable foes.I grew up with this show - I too had to wake up at 6:00 am to see it, but it was worth it!This has to be one of DIC's better shows. It's action-packed, with reasonably interesting storylines. The characters are drawn and animated with depth - basically the artwork is polished and very desirable to look at. It's definitely well worth looking into in your 80s toon nostalgic quest!
