Galaxy Rangers

The Adventures Of The Galaxy Rangers is a 30 minute sci-fi cartoon produced by TMS Entertainment and premiered in 1986. The cartoon had very decent animation and a great soundtrack.

It all begins in 2086, when two peaceful aliens (Waldo and Zozo) come to Earth asking for our help. They give mankind the plans to build the hyperdrive engine, allowing space exploration.

A team of unique individuals is assembled to protect Earth and the allies. These are the Galaxy Rangers

The team is composed of:

• Captain Zachary Foxx - The leader of the group. Has a bionic left arm and leg. The arm can fire high intensity cannon blasts and gives extra strength when sufficiently charged.
• Shane "Goose" Gooseman - Born at a failed attempt to create a genetically enhanced soldier. The very same experiment also created other insane Super Troopers. Most of them were trapped in cryogenic chambers. Shane Goose was allowed to be a Ranger on the terms that he will hunt down the remaining rogue troopers as a bounty hunter. Goose possesses an implant that activates his bio-defenses, allowing him to change shape to a certain extent (always a biped, same overall mass).
• Niko - Has PSI powers augmented by a special implant. Her abilities include clarvoyance, psychokinetic and the capacity of building PSI shields. She's also knows tae kwon do and carries a big gun.
• Walter "Doc" Hartford - A computer hacker. The series five implant in Doc's brain allows him direct access to any and all types of computers using animated little "programmes" he created (Tripwire, Firefly, etc.).
• Commander Joseph Walsh - The team's commanding officer and also one the men in charge of the failed Supertrooper Project, of which Shane Gooseman was the only sane survivor.

The show itself was pretty nice, and the soundtrack was amazing. Unfortunately, AFAIK, it hasn't been oficially released on VHS or DVD.

The pilot episode is something not to be missed.
