(1990)
The Computer Warriors were a bunch of also-ran toys that were like a cross between the Micronauts and the Transformers, and I so wanted their cartoon to be good. I mean, we never did get a Micronauts cartoon and the old Transformers one sucked massive shit so can't the cartoon gods throw us a bone here, just this once? Turns out they can. It starts out like Tron, with good guy computer programs and bad guy computer viruses fighting each other in cyberspace, but pretty soon the bad guys escape into the regular world, where they're action figure sized and have to disguise themselves as normal household items. The good guys follow suit, and suddenly there's a Micronauts-style free-for-all going on in some kid's bedroom, which eventually spreads into the entire house. It's a cool cartoon, even if it is pretty fucking shameless: one of the good guys opts to disguise himself as an honest-to-fuck Pepsi can, for example, and the transforming Pepsi can was an actual toy you could buy. ("Kids! Drink sugar!") Oh, and bonus props for this line: Virus Leader: "Any virus that fires his blaster without my permission will be neutralized by me faster than a wozniak!" Ha! That's great.
