WOW! What a blast from the past! I had every toy in this series. The hive was awesome! I liked the villans much better in this series, I mean I was like 5 and into catching bugs and these toys were GIANT BUGS!! Ah the memories! The toys and toons from the 80's from my child hood were hands down the best, second to none!!
I've never seen any of episodes, but my childhood was marked by these "persons"... I still have all of them... almost 30 toys... I have now 30 years old. It's just amazing to see that things moving on the scene... Thank you for post it
I didn't know this story began with so much tragedy. Some top scientists were working on a breakthrough discovery to try and improve their society, but as a result they were horribly mutated into insectoid creatures, and chaos ravaged the planet. Couldn't they have just had it take place on an alient bug planet? I can't believe anyone would try to make light of that kind of situation.
Madkid99 I am totally feeling this 80's relic. I'm a huge Sectaurs fan till this day I was only a year old when this show hit and even though I never saw it I collected all the figures and comics. But I never caught the show so this is a treat. You just gotta post the rest, I'll be waiting!
Wow can't believe this is available here! I remember watching this in Italian on TV in the early morning back in 1986, guess it was aired just once or twice. Impossible to find it in Italian now, great to find it in English.
"How do you like that, maggots!" LOL! It was so much fun to watch this. I collected the toys and read the Marvel comics when I was a kid, but I've never seen this show until now. Thanks! (Incidentally, that's gotta be Mr. Optimus Prime himself, Peter Cullen, voicing Mantor, right?)
Damn it! Do you know how long ive been tryin to remember what the hell this was called. Thanx for posting this. I remember th commercials would be mini series....
this was a very underrated cartoon and toy line, i went through alot of fazes as a child, i was into he-man, then voltron, then sectaurs, then gi joe and transformers and had alot of toys from all these.
I never knew there was a cartoon based on this toyline. I remember seeing these toy as a kid. My parents wouldn't buy my brother and I any of them because they thought the wings looked too fragile and that we would break them in no time.
This show was not long lived at all, think there were only 6 episodes, i had them all on tape, then about a month later my dad taped over it with an episode of the golden girls for my mom /cry. i had all the toys including the hive.... wish i could go back.
@CodeBlue40 Yup! I had the toys too! Compeletly unique and fun! The cartoon was good too, but a bit short-lived! Man, I love being an 80's kid, WE had the BEST, unlike what these poor kids have today!
thanks for posting this. I always wanted to get the figures when I was a kid, but they were just too expensive, and I rather buy a Transformer. Anyway, these episodes bring back memories
Yeah they were! Check ebay, there really well made and they still kick ass even by todays standerds so check em out you won't regret it. Just yesterday I poped in some battires in Spiderflyer and Draragonfly and they both still work! If thats not craftsmanship I don't know what is.
@culturaleyes I initially thought the same thing.Why not just make it a battle between good & evil on a insect evolved alien world, but I think that the shows creators were trying to make a point about real scientist engaging in dangerous experiments like nuclear energy, which was a real hot button topic in the '80s.
If only you had used the map before the bad guy found it. Oh wait, we don‘t really need it because people know where it is. Ah, I miss the 80’s and the lack of intelligence in our adversaries.
"You cannot face Spidrax alone!"
You need Optimus Prime!
and destro's gonna rule symbion
This is why Bumblebee should never be leader.
This is one of my favorite toy series from the 1980's.
Dargon and The Sectaurs of the Shining Realm against General Spidrax and The Sectaurs of the Dark Domain!
Oh God! I never thought I would see this superb cartoon of my childhood again... I thought I dreamt about it!
I loved those toys growing up. :) Great idea too with the glove puppets :)

Such a classic! Anyone remember Visionaries?
+Andrew Robertson KNIGHTS OF THE MAAAAGICAL LIIIIGHT!
+Thizlamic Haha! You're the @#$*! man bro!
visionaries and also inhumanoids
+1 for Inhumanoids, forgot about that show! How about Saber Riders?
Yes. I actually had one figure too.
I had the dragoflyer!! It fit on ur hand like a glove, turn it on and the wings flapped! Cool toy, short lived cartoon.
I love that narrator voice
I had the Hyve and Spiderflier...they were my fave toys after HeMan!

Sectaurs should come back one day. 😀👍

probably the darkest cartoon intro in the 80's
Love this reminds me of Bug of the Micronauts!
I got Dargon for Christmas in '85, and saw this Very briefly then.It didn't quite catch on for me...it was so short-lived.
I remember the bug toys were gloves. lol Played with them untill they fell apart. lol
I had completely forgoten this existed!!
"How do you like that, maggots!" LOL! It was so much fun to watch this. I collected the toys and read the Marvel comics when I was a kid, but I've never seen this show until now. Thanks! (Incidentally, that's gotta be Mr. Optimus Prime himself, Peter Cullen, voicing Mantor, right?)
Yeah, that was definitely Peter Cullen voicing Mantor
I remember this and the toys when they came out.
Damn it!
Do you know how long ive been tryin to remember what the hell this was called. Thanx for posting this.
I remember th commercials would be mini series....
Damn Ur taking back.
Wow! i loved this when i was a kid back then. this, transformers, visionaries, mask and the gobots rocks!!!
Yeah, this just proves that he was in everything.
this was a very underrated cartoon and toy line, i went through alot of fazes as a child, i was into he-man, then voltron, then sectaurs, then gi joe and transformers and had alot of toys from all these.
that peter david cullen voices
aw man i remember this came on channel 21 in fort worth,tx back in the 80s didnt last long tho'
I had the toys and love the cartoons
You know i actually kinda feel sorry for Toxin. He tries and tries and all he gets is kicked!
I never knew there was a cartoon based on this toyline. I remember seeing these toy as a kid. My parents wouldn't buy my brother and I any of them because they thought the wings looked too fragile and that we would break them in no time.
I remember watching Sectaurs at Grandma's on that big heavy furniture TV's from Circuit City
I hear the voices of Destro, Optimus Prime, Shipwreck, Springer, and some from the robotix series as well....
Good ears lol
The voice actor for Spide-Man also did G1 Bumblebee.
Nice
wow, this is one of the only cartoons where the toy actually looked better than the show, lol!
4:53 someone call peta
Wow, did I just see farmers growing mary jane in a cartoon? Good Go... I mean God Satan, you don't see toons like that anymore. ;)
Wow...never knew Sectaurs had a series! Pretty interesting! Anyone notice the voice of Optimus Prime in this episode?
Wow, I also had the toys from this. Although even then, I vaguely remembered the show
I think the one thatdoes voice for General Spidrax is the one that does for Destro in G.I.Joe.
Skito alway treated Toxic like shit. These are some of the best toys from the 80's loved them!
This show was not long lived at all, think there were only 6 episodes, i had them all on tape, then about a month later my dad taped over it with an episode of the golden girls for my mom /cry.

Hello where the hell is the DVD for this show? All our other great ones are coming out lets get this made.
I remember having the toys and they were awesome.
i hope this will come to dvd soon
The commericals were a mini story themselves.
Great to see this again! I'd almost given up hope of it being on TH-cam. Well done, madkid99! :-)
Yeah, Peter Cullen spoke for Mantor of the goodguys. He also spoke for the beginning of Voltron
I have some of these toys but I'd never seen the cartoon before.
I loved this show
The most stressful cartoon I've ever seen. I need to lie down.
I remember this!!
Symbion! Nice.
Man I had like all the figures for thise
thanks for posting this. I always wanted to get the figures when I was a kid, but they were just too expensive, and I rather buy a Transformer. Anyway, these episodes bring back memories
I still have Spidrax and his flyer.
Deserve a video game treatment, either strategy game like Total War, hack and slash like Dark souls, God of war with flying mode like Panzer dragoon
THere was a TV show???? I only knew the comics. Thank you for this
toys were cool as fuck, put your hand in the insect they rode on to use as a puppet
Yeah they were! Check ebay, there really well made and they still kick ass even by todays standerds so check em out you won't regret it. Just yesterday I poped in some battires in Spiderflyer and Draragonfly and they both still work! If thats not craftsmanship
I don't know what is.
it's a great toy line! I have all of them
@kingp05 I didn't know that there was a Sectaurs comic. Who published it? Do you know how many issues?
Why is Optimus Prime hiding in that Sectaur???
Damn they don't make them like this anymore
Thanks for posting this. :-)
I think these toys never really took off because even the good guys are creepy as fuck.
2:11 - I knew it!! Prime is a Triple-changer!!!
Is Spidrax Destro from GI-Joe??
Sure sounds like it.
Yes, the voice actor's name is Arthur Burghardt.
2:12 the bearded guy looks like adam jensen from deus ex.
@culturaleyes I initially thought the same thing.Why not just make it a battle between good & evil on a insect evolved alien world, but I think that the shows creators were trying to make a point about real scientist engaging in dangerous experiments like nuclear energy, which was a real hot button topic in the '80s.
This seems sort of familiar to Spider Riders
Dammit! I hadn't seen the intro in so long I'd forgotten. It's all that chick in the tie's fault?!
I remember Visionaries. I have the Visionaries on DVD
More 2 come....Just Wait!!!
I had some of the Sectaurs Figures
Back when TV was worth watching.
Unholy Shit, I just heard my favorite Jewish Transformer, Optimus Prime aka Peter Cullen!
Intro narrated by Ace McCloud?!
Micronauts meets Heavy Metal The Movie! I love the Dungeons & Dragons actor voices of Venger, Tiamat the Dragon & Uni the Unicorn in this cartoon!
Where did you find these episodes in such excellent quality?
Yeah... I can see why this only lasted 5 episodes....
Yes,this is the voice of Mentor (sp)
I’d declare Exterminatus on Symbione as I soon saw…..anything.
Not a bad cartoon I missed out on because it was gone before The big money bag 4 from Hasbro.
THIS WAS DA SHIT...LOVE IT
Thumbs up if Cracked sent you here. Also: WTF?
That asshole's pet/bug/whatever saved his life, yet he kicks the shit out of it multiple times?
Funny how it's spelled "Sectaurs", but they pronounce it "SecTARS" (rhyming with "stars")...
If only you had used the map before the bad guy found it. Oh wait, we don‘t really need it because people know where it is. Ah, I miss the 80’s and the lack of intelligence in our adversaries.
Galaxy Rangers anyone?
The ancients from the cartoon look like humans, how lame.
Lots of great voice acting from Mr. Peter Cullen..just not a strong story to keep people interested
the voice of mantor is optimus prime what a rip off is like we cant tell shut we know prime
80年代冷门科幻动画神作
My word, I hope the toys were better than the cartoon. This is REALLY corny. (BTW, I really like a lot of old cartoons)
whoa i heard optimus prime! lol recycled 80s voice actors
