Debuting as a 5 part mini-series, and enjoying contributions from three of the greatest action artists of the 20th Century – Doug Wildey, Gil Kane, and Jack Kirby – The Centurions promised to pack a punch – and it delivered! Get ready for mad machine action as 3 masters of land, sea, and air do battle with a mad inventor for the fate of a planet.

Review: We were familiar with Centurions through the 1980s toyline, but the cartoon never aired in our area...at least not that I ever noticed, so I was excited to check out this miniseries.  The show went on to have two seasons, a total of 65 episodes, and hopefully we'll see the Warner Archive release this full series eventually.  I was overjoyed to be introduced to Max, Jake and Ace and their great mech suits.  The show is well-written and has great animation and a tone that is ideal mid-1980s.  The video looks fantastic, great quality, and the sound is good.  This one is a must-have for any Centurions fan and it can only be found at wbshop.com!

Interest Range: Vintage Animation
