G force cartoon 1970s9/11/2023 ![]() Interest came from the part of Turner Broadcasting (who was the last to air BotP on a wide scale on their TBS network) in creating a newer, more faithful adaptation of Gatchaman, which would be easier to accomplish with the newly relaxed television standards of the Reagan era-1980s. With Battle of the Planets having run its course and still holding the domestic rights to the first Gatchaman series, Sandy Frank continued to market BotP wherever they could while seeking ways to continue making use of their license. During this period Ted Turner's cable network TBS (then known as "SuperStation WTBS") also aired the show on their channel (albeit in a slightly more edited form, with cuts for time constraints), and by 1984, WTBS was more or less the exclusive home of BotP before they too dispensed of it around 1985, effectively ending the lengthy run of Battle of the Planets on U.S television. Television stations began relegating the show to early morning timeslots (as typically done with programming on its way off the air) before dispensing of it altogether.

I am also 99% certain it was an '80s cartoon, but could also be from the early '90s. The bow was a pain to make work properly, and the vehicle that would come out was a micromachine. The main reason I remember this ship existing, is that I built a Lego set of it. It wasn't a Transformer, so it wasn't from shows like Macron 1, Robotech/Macross, Saber Rider, etc. Here are two images from a side view to sort of visualize what I mean. The bow section is almost as box like as in the picture, with large wings on the sides. When in flight, the bow section is folded down, When it lands the bow folds up and a ramp extends and a vehicle comes out. I can't remember much about the ship but it had a unique gimmick. I have had this image of a ship from a cartoon stuck in my head but I can't seem to find it.
