If you were a kid that loved cartoons and had access to a television in the 1980's, chances are you would be familiar with this phrase: "Power X-Ttreme!!!"
In case you didn't know, this was the battle cry of "...a handful of brave men, equipped with specially created EXO-FRAMES..."
These were...THE CENTURIONS.
Max Ray, brilliant sea operations commander!
Jake Rockwell, rugged land operations specialist!
Ace McCloud, daring air operations expert!
Whatever the challenge, they are ready! THE CENTURIONS!!!
I guess you get the point by now. Needless to say, I loved this show, and the toyline that spawned it. I STILL love it, as a matter of fact. Even after all these years, whenever I see old re-runs of the show, it takes me back years and always makes me feel good.
This whole concept of the Centurions was WAY ahead of it's time. It had innovations and designs which eclipse even sci-fi stuff TODAY. Just imagine wearing a high-tech suit of armor that allows you to "merge" with incredible weapons systems, and on top of that, allows you to be beamed ANYWHERE on the planet. And in some cases, OFF-PLANET as well.
That's just a small description of what made, and continues to make, the Centurions one of the all-time classics, both cartoon-wise and toy-wise. This blog is dedicated to everything related to the CENTURIONS. I'll do my best to share everything I know about them, from the show, to the toys, and beyond. Hopefully, it will bring back good ol' childhood memories for everyone that visits this blog.
Let the cry ring out...POWER X-TREME!!!
