DiC: Starcom The US Space Force
Home/Change Series
Starcom: The U.S. Space Force is an animated syndicated series in the 1980s that spawned a successful motorized toy line franchise in Europe and Asia for Mattel, despite its failures to succeed in its U.S. domestic market. The plot was based on the adventures of an American astronaut brigade as they fought off attempted invasions by Shadow Force, a nasty collection of aliens and robots led by the nefarious Emperor Dark.
The plot has evil members called Shadow Force, led by Emperor Dark, were trying to take over the cosmos, and it was up to Starcom to stop them. Young hero Col. James ?Dash? Derringer, an ace Starcom pilot, was the star of the series, and several of his teammates were family members. He was also backed up by the resourceful ace pilot John ?Slim? Griffin, whose niece was yet another Starcom pilot. Other heroes on the Starcom side included Col. Paul ?Crowbar? Corbin and Admiral Franklin Brinkley. The show had very high quality production, with top notch animation for a series cartoon, and relatively mature subject matter and dialog.
Together, the members of Starcom fought Dark?s legions of robotic minions, flying into battle in a fleet of advanced spacecraft.
