The Centurions is a syndicated 30-minute American science fiction animated television series produced by Ruby-Spears and animated in Japan by Sunrise. Comic book legends Jack Kirby and Gil Kane contributed to the design and concepts of the show.[1]

The series began in 1985 as a five-part miniseries and was followed in 1986/87 with a 60-episode series. The series was story edited by Ted Pedersen and written by several authors, including prolific science fiction writers Michael Reaves, Marc Scott Zicree, Larry DiTillio, and Gerry Conway. The series theme and soundtrack were composed by Udi Harpaz. There was also a line of tie-in toys by Kenner, and a comic book series by DC Comics.

WATCH EPISODE 1

This series was actually relatively popular, with 60 episodes plus a 5 part mini-series it did as well as something like Defenders of the earth.

It was a really cool show where the characters had these outfits where weaponry would latch onto their armour suits.

Sadly there is no sign of this series ever coming out on dvd. Sad

I had one of these action figures.  I don't remember which one anymore, but I think it was the green one.  I just know I didn't like him because he had a moustache so I rarely played with it.

You should see the Visionaries, the bad guys all have beards or moustaches and the main good guy has a Magnum PI moustache.

1987
