Somali pirates can’t hold the jock of space pirates
Back in ’93, a younger, debatably handsomer Drew Toal used to, before school, watch a pair of largely forgotten cartoons—Conan the Adventurer, as well as the poorly animated, yet colon-cleansingly awesome space drama, Exosquad. The latter, in particular, was—in the parlance of our times, “the tits.” It’s set in the future, as all worthwhile stories are, and chronicles the goings on of a group of soldiers in the Exofleet, as they battle the evil space pirates of Jonas Simbacca, and later join forces with him to fight a greater foe, the Neosapian menace (Perhaps one day we will have to strike an uneasy alliance with the Somali buccaneers against a resurgent Mongolian military? Time will tell). Now, the animation looks like it was done by a not-particularly-gifted two year old (creater Will Meugniot also made this terrible DragonLance cartoon adaptation awhile back), and the show was canceled before the story could be totally resolved, but man, what a story. So, yeah, I’ve been waiting patiently for about a decade for this business to come to DVD, and on April 14, my long wait appears to be at an end. Stop laughing at me.
YEAH! Exosquad was the shit.
I even had the action figures. The actual men were all small, but their exogears were pretty big. and you could strap them in and stuff.
they even had a woman, like all male oriented shows must have, at least one. but her exogear was cool too.
man. i loved that show.
there should be at least thirty short stories and two novels dedicated solely to the dopeness of that show.
this article is the first step.

Yeah. I misused my powers of the press to get a copy early, fired it into the DVD player and just watched the opening sequence. It all came back.

is the power of the press liking knighting someone? can you grant me the powers which allow me to do such things?

Yes. We joust for early copies of early 90s ephemera. It’s a bleak existence, but it has its moments.
