"Captain Power And The Soldiers Of The Future!

"Earth, 2147. The legacy of the Metal Wars, where man fought machines--and machines won.
"Bio-Dreads. Monstrous creations that hunt down human survivors--and digitize them.
"Volcania. Center of the Bio-Dread Empire--stronghold and fortress of Lord Dread, feared ruler of this new order.
"But from the fires of the Metal Wars arose a new breed of warrior, born and trained to bring down Lord Dread and his Bio-Dread Empire. They were Soldiers Of The Future--mankind's last hope.
"Their leader, Captain Jonathan Power, (Dunigan) master of the incredible Power Suits, which transform each soldier into a one-man attack force,
"Major Matthew 'Hawk' Masterson, (Peter MacNeill) fighter in the skies,
"Lieutenant Michael 'Tank' Ellis, (Sven Ole Thorsen) ground assault unit,
"Sergeant Robert 'Scout' Baker, (Maurice Dean Wint) espionage and communications,
"and Corporal Jennifer 'Pilot' Chase, tactical systems expert.
"Together they form the most powerful fighting force in Earth's history.
"Their creed: to protect all life.
"Their promise: to end Lord Dread's rule.
"Their name: Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future!"


Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future was a syndicated 1987-88 television series that ran for 22 episodes. During each episode there was a segment that included visual and audio material intended for the toys. Viewers could purchase the toys and then play a sort of video game interacting with the television program. Though billed primarily as a children's show, it gained more than its share of adult fans through its serious storyline, elaborate special-effects and combat themed action

Wow! You surely know a lot about Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. I still prefer He-Man and the Masters of the Universe plus She-Ra The Princess of Power.:anime:

Some can debate that Captain Power is the true original Tokusatsu series to hit North America.

I loved it as a kid.

 

[KAGEKI]

I used to love this show too.

Looking back at it now, I honestly think this would've been a good American adaptation of a Metal Hero show.

I love this show when I was growing up. I used to wake up early on Saturday mornings to watch this. This show had so much potential. It would be cool if this show would get revived or revamped in this day and age. Maybe improve the costume designs and special effects. Oh yeah, this show should come back. The toys were cool back in the day. Not many toys were interactive with television shows as far as I can remember.

I remember the toys, but not the show. :laugh:

Mitsuko Horie did a pretty cool theme for the show when it aired in Japan, though.
