• Is it just me or does the guy named Sun Ray remind anyone else of Shore Leave from Venture Bros.

• Holy Homoerotic Rotoscoping, Bat-Bricken!

• No. Rankin/Bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoJvfZeYeIo

• How could you forget about Biker Mice from Mars? Or were they the 90's?

• Son of a bitch. I'm watching that going. I've seen this show! Oh My God and it was awesome! It's probably what spawned my latent hawk fetish. Because really, who doesn't want to be a hawk in a silver space suit fighting evil with a cowboy guitar playing hawk at your side?

• Bad guy needed a transformation sequence! Otherwise: awesome.

• If this went on TV at the same time as My Little Pony, I'd have to stop watching My Little Pony. I mean, I know I could watch one and stream the other but this is so much concentrated crazy awesome that I'd stop watching competing shows out of principle.

•  Ha ha!!! The fun has been doubled!

• Pfffft the mane 6 would have cleared up all this mess in 10 seconds flat.

• It averages out to the 80s.

• I hear they hired <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Shaffer">Peter Shaffer</a> as a script consultant.

• God I hated that lawn too.

• Neat, a mixture of 80s and some of the things I've seen on CBC lately that use that type of computer animation. Could their bulges be any bigger though?

• Not sure "straight" is a word I would use while describing this video. I wish this had been an actual show. Imagine the Republican outrage that would have resulted!

• Wow.  that was like if Freddy Mercury and He-Man had a baby. 

• No you're not.

• Also, I think Optica is a transexual...

• A bit gay, but that's alright I guess. Niche genre fiction is the future anyway

• Your funny lemming boy.

• My brain is on fire! Synthesizer fire!

• That sounds like something out of my childhood: DAD: "What the hell are you watching?" ME: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!" DAD: "Teenage what?" ME: "Ninja Turtles." DAD: "..." ME: "They're turtles. Who are ninjas. There was mutagen." DAD: "Maybe you should go mow the lawn."

• If you're asking if you suck, then yes.

• Apparently so. I found the animation style a bit off-putting, but overall this was so insane and 80s that I had to like it.

• This is the most awesome thing I've seen all day. Thank you. Mind blown. Adult Swim needs to get on this.

• Wow, am I really the only dissenting opinion?

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J-LTVdQGvs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41EYQZOuuPU

• Magnificent...........where has this been all my life!!!

• Bahh!! Just listen to Nirgilis.

• Fucking keireist, My skin just tried to run away, with out the rest of me. That was...was...was...loathsome.

• I thought they'd transform into stallions. Disappointed.

• A glowing tear!  How Nelvana. Dude does a good Zorak voice, too.

• Entertaining, but it falls short of looking like an 80s cartoon. There isn't enough of a horse reference in the characters.  SilverHawks were silver cyborgs with retractable wings (and had a cyborg hawk as well), Thundercats were cat-people, Galaxy Rangers were space cops with ranger badges on their chests, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors had wheeled fighting vehicles, characters in MASK had transforming cars.  Space Stallions has "Mother Mustang" and a horse-shaped base, but that was about it.  The leader having a horse mask, a guy with a horse-head hammer, and battle cry about the power of the horse just isn't enough to compare to classic cartoons indulging in their themes. The homoerotic stuff with the leader is way too blatant.  Part of the silliness of the 80s cartoons was the accidental nature of such things.

• The lyrics do have a very "translated poorly into English" vibe that really enhances the 80's nostalgia feel of the song.  I swear one of the lines was, "keep it from the lion, like a modern moustache."

• I've sure as hell seen a lot worse, I'll tell you that. At least it can tide us over until "ELA" gets greenlit.

• I would watch the SHIT out of that show.  I can see myself now... *dream sequence* My Father: "How can you watch this stupid crap?!" Me: "But Daaaaaaaaaaad, Space Stallions are cool!" *end dream sequence*

• So... you got aroused too?

• LOL, I probably would, too, though I'd prefer more classic-style animation in that case.

• THIS NEEDS TO BE A REAL SHOW!!! They could totally make a show like this work on adult swim. This would be soooo effing brilliant. Think of all the cheesy mayhem they could dish out!!!

• BRING BACK 80'S SYNTHESIZER MUSIC! >8O (Much better than computer software music nowadays)

• Why, why, why can't this be a real show?!?!

• Screw that, I'd watch this if it was a real show done completely straight.

• So, She Ra + Silverhawks + Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers = this? Impressive stuff. So 80's I shat out a Synthesizer.

• That...was the greatest shit ever. I'd watch the fuck out of it.

• I...I just...WOW!! Suddenly I'm a little kid again, waking up early on a Sunday (our morning cartoon marathon begins takes place on Sundays) and jump out of bed to nab breakfast before plopping down in front of my living room TV while still in my jammies. Whoever said the 80s suck must be a child of the 60s or 70s, since those were the best years of my early life and this just serve as a reminder of that. Thank you, Rob! XD

• "Myyy lazer eeeeeggs~" Oh god, that was fantastic. I can't stop rolling on the floor!

• Part of wants to say that the HQ needed to turn into a giant robot, but this was more reminiscent of Thundercats / Silverhawks than Voltron, so that's forgivable.

• Wings of silver nerves of steel SILVERHAWKS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doQkAdVXBvo&feature=related 

• Space Stallions, I will watch your VHS cassettes, buy your toys, and eat your breakfast cereals! Be real, Space Stallions...I believe in the power of the horse!

• I'd watch it.  What more need be said?

• I'm not feeling the '80s here - most of it resonated deeply with the '70s, not even the generic keyboard hallmark of the '80s could help pointing towards '90s influnces

• Without the keytar, I would've completely believed this was a cartoon from the 80s that I somehow missed, and I would've been furious. I see all the best (and worst) parts of Voltron, Thundercats, Masters of the Universe, Battle of the Planets, etc. Annoying robot sidekick? Check. Big, muscular black dude with a blunt weapon? Check. Insane villain with oddly-colored skin? Check. Awesomeness? GOOD GOD, YES!!!

• Did... did anyone keep hearing 'Space Nuggets'? I had to look at the title 3 times to be sure.

• I...listen, I grew up in the early 90's. Not the 80's. And I still want this. Very hard. I want this to ravish me. In french, with subtitles. I want to have filthy, unappealing sex in an art movie about the pointlessness of life with this. WANT!

• Touché.

• Are hawks made of chrome and fly in space? Why are humanoid cats acceptable but other anthropromorphisized animals called "mutants"? What does a big headed snake have to do with international terrorism? Why does a the magic power from some old castle turn someone into a tan muscle man in furry briefs? What's the damn point of  robot lions? Who spells "command" with a "K"?  Gawd, the 80's were stupid...awesome!

• Ummm......Ummmmm.......Was my childhood really that long ago?? And the other question is can we get this into production so that I can give my kid the same fucked up sense of cool that I have?? CAUSE THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

• It's the 80's it always homoerotic.

• So, even though a stallion is a male horse, the Space Stallions are humans, not horses. And one of them is female. Makes perfect sense...

• "Power of the Horse, Full Force!" Please tell me there's an alternate universe out there where this is a real show. Then tell me how to get to it.

• Uhhhh...was that <i>supposed</i> to be vaguely homoerotic?

• awesome eighties cartoon by way of Heavy Metal

• Love this, especially the music! Get on it, Cartoon Network.

• Mind = Blown

• The only thing that could makes this any better is if it was hand drawn in the style of Don Bluth.

• If this was on Adult Swim and featured Archer-like humour I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

• I am slightly disappointed that they weren't able to get the Wyld Stallyns to do the theme song. Although to be fair, that probably would've created an overload of '80s awesomeness that could've caused the universe to implode. Seriously though, that was a friggin' awesome video. Now I actually kind of want this to be a real show...

• <I>This episode of SPACE STALLIONS was brought to you today by BOOMERANG PIZZA.</I>

• That was pretty cool. Only thing is to have a real tribute to the 1980's the character X-ray should have a mullet.
