Moltar's Transmission | Toonami | Adult Swim
/ adultswim
This was actually a very beautiful sentiment. As someone who grew up with Toonami from day 1, Toonami's one of the last 'networks,' that I feel actually give a shit about their audience on a human level.
Cheers, guys.
@NekoStar, TTHHANNKK YOUUUU!!! and this was apparrent from 2005-2006ish when everything else was either 4kids, Nick, or Disney while one night of Toonami (w/the Cadmus - Legion of Doom arc of Justice League Unlimited, last Megas XLR episodes, DBZ (Ultimate) Uncut, Terra - Raven - Brotherhood arcs of Teen Titans, Naruto debuts, and last DBGT/DBGT "lost episodes") was the last network block still pushin the envolupe. And we fast forward to the 2009-2013ish era and onward and low and behold TOONami is once again the ONLY bluck still giving a fuck with no Young Justice, Thundercats, Voltron, Transformers Prime, Wolverine and the xmen, Iron Man Armored adventures, or Avatar Franchise to be seen on them other networks with The Hub dying VERY shortly after celebrating Transformers 35th anniversary. So we as fans are left to ask/ponder/think... what the fuck... wtf happened?!!
Thassa long comment.
Times change, bub. It ain't great, but... they do. Now we must cling to the few gems we get here and there.
cartoon cartoons did, toonamis just been anime syndicated trash from day1
I appreciated Cartoon cartoons/what a cartoon, but I said 'one of the last networks.' I guess 'program' would be more accurate, but regardless, the former are not around anymore, so the point is moot.
its ironic that the host is a robot,.
Oh my fucking god that sucks.
This is a huge loss to the Cartoon Network/Toonami/Adult Swim family.
Condolences to all his family and friends.
RIP.
Indeed
For sure Mary H.
I miss him too. Moltar and Zorak were a huge part of my boyhood in the late 90s.
And the mid 90s too
"Sit back and relax. It's Thundercat time."
I still miss Moltar, he started Toonami and it is sad the voice actor died 5 years ago. This was a bittersweet tribute to Martin.
We didn't just lose Moltar and Zorak from Space Ghost. We lost Dr. Weird and his assistant Steve from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
He will be missed :(
BEHOLD! Sadness.
Forever.
GENTLEMEN! I need a hug.
Vegetables have threatened man for generations. I have obtained funds to solve this vegetable nightmare. Behold!
This is a tribute to Clay Martin Crocker who did the voice of Moltar, the original host of Toonami from 1997 to 1999. I think this message is Moltar telling his successor, TOM that he's officially retired permanently and the "money oven" is where he's going spend his permanent retirement from Toonami, even though he's already retired from Toonami for nearly two decades.
Did you notice that when the camera goes outside it looked like moltar’s face?
This is like Clone Wars animation
Definitely, 2016 is the "I'm taking everyone" year.
I'm sooo glad you noticed too.
yup we have lost already so many people
You aren't lying dude 😩
Rough year man, rough year.
It's been a giant middle finger to everybody. Moltar & Zorak will definitely be missed...but their legacy will live on. RIP C. Martin...
Who else died?
Anybody remember back in the day when they had the promo asking whether or not Toonami was a failure? Well, Mr. Croker, it wasn't. And your legacy will never be forgotten. The revolution will never die.
I almost cried to this one... I remember Tom's farewell video made me tear up a bit too
Its okay to let it out.
I actually did cry...... a lot. C. Martin Croker was one of the reasons I got into voice acting and to know that he's gone........ still hurts like a motherfucker.
Fare thee well, Clay. I know we'll see each other again.
Came for a Samurai Jack update, left with old toonami robot space feels....
same
Tom took it the hardest
Man.. This is sad, I've watched toonami from the start and loved space ghost as a kid. RIP Mr. Croker, loved your work!
Space Ghost Coast to Coast
RIP C. Martin Croker. I met him in 2012 and he was absolutely awesome to talk to. His sketches were amazing as well!
OG Toonami fans: Now this... puts a smile on my face
Heh. Too real.
Tom's voice is the most golden thing in this galaxy
If you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, you should watch it.
is Tom's voice actor the same as Spike's :0
Yes
+RazorCamel My friend Stephen Blum's voice has been all over the airwaves whether it was anime dubs or even american animations.

I still love this little segment. There's something inspirational and emotional behind this moment. The way it plays out is absolutely touching and handled with care.
It shows that even with all the change to the network and how they structured themselves, the guys who run Cartoon Network and mainly Adult Swim and Toonami never forgot their roots. They show that they truly understand their audience.
One of the OGs of the pre-Adult Swim era Cartoon Network. Thanks for the memories and a childhood full of laughs. Godspeed.
this made me tear up. both nostalgia, laughter and the pure awesomeness of it all.
RIP Martin.
Croker voiced Moltar and TOM 1.0; after he was killed by an 'intruder' in late 1999, Steve Blum took over as the new voice actor, starting with TOM 2.0. Then came TOM 3.0 and TOM 4.0 before Cartoon Network pulled the plug on the block in late 2008 (Adult Swim picked up the pieces by reviving TOM 3.0 in May 2012 [during an episode of Inuyasha, TOM 3 and his 'brother' TOM 4 had a little conversation]). During Intruder 2, TOM came face-to-face with the first intruder, only he had parts of TOM 1.0. TOM then had to look for a decommissioned planet called Shogo 162 by risking the destruction of both the intruder's ship and the Absolution Mk. III by flooding the unidentified ship's reactor core. Now the Saturday night block is on a new ship called the Vindication since Shogo 162 is dead. All of those Toonami rebrands and host changes give me memories. [NOTE: Blum also did voice acting in various video games, some of which TOM 3 reviewed]
Joe Orsini Nice history, although I believe it was actually Krillin's voice actor that did TOM 1
@@calebbegley3833 This is correct
Ahhh i remember when moltar use to run toonami before tom was created good good times for everyone
There people who don't know about moltar and tom relationship
The people who don't know, are too young for adult swim anyway....
+SpikeStarkey yeah
I'm 30 & I didn't know... So, how old are YOU anyways?
Meee Aaaah!!? Old enough, lol.
So few of us even know that moltar was the original host of toonami. Here's to all those kids that were there from the beginning.
C Martin Croker was essential in paving the way for toonami and adult swim. He won't be forgotten.
R.I.P C. Martin Crocker
(1962-2016)
2016 is really the end of an era.
2020: hold my beer
"Moltar, where's Zorak?"
He crawled into the heat'n duct..
rip
Rest in peace you beautiful funny man.
"I will be ETERNAL!!!" - Dr Weird
This hurt my heart
I haven't watched Akira
shame on you
I will literally bargain with the Devil to bring back Moltar
_"Hey, TOM. It's been under a score year. Alright, listen up. The idea of Toonami started in a spaceship called the 'Absolution' and you have lived, died and relived several times by now. On the ground or in space, Toonami won't be the same without us. As of last week, I've been called back to Moltor for an important meeting and I probably won't be coming back, for now. There's a mighty oven waiting for me. Just wanted you to know I always thought I was the better Toonami host than you, because I was and still am the original. Good luck never being able to fill my boots, sucker. Anyway, let's all be clear: I've never found a worthy successor, but I'm just lucky enough to have someone taking the helm of Toonami in my honor. This is for my late, greatly beloved wife Linda. And to my great friend and rival TOM, I am now officially in your debt. Stay gold."_
- Moltar's will
Ahem! What about SARA Revin?!
@@VBaskin2010 She read most of his will by memory.
An era seems to have ended now that Clay Croker is gone. The era isn't completely gone, but a big part of it is. Space Ghost, Cartoon Planet, The Brak Show, Aqua Teen and so many commercials and other things this man animated and voiced, you sir will be missed. RIP Moltar, Zorak, Dr. Weird, Steve and most importantly Clay.
David Bowie, Prince, Gene Wilder, Muhammad Ali, Alan Rickman, now Moltar, 2016 be taking everyone!
And now Lightning McQueen
Tsuner too No
@@tsunertoo9149 Owen Wilson is not dead
Don’t forget Zorak.
I think we can rest assure that Moltar will be enjoying his retirement on his home planet, most likely relaxing, having a beer, and watching old reruns of his favorite show CHips...he has lead a successful career if you think about, of course trying to kill Space Ghost on more than occasion when he was super-villain (then again Space Ghost as funny as he was on C2C, was a real pompous ass). I say Moltar was more of an anarchist on much broader terms. But later giving up a life of crime, going into television and becoming a successful director and camera guy on Ghost Planet, even though being constantly infuriated by Space Ghost's antics as talk-show host, but giving so much hilarity to the show's bizarre comedy style. He was probably the most efficient and level-headed character on the show.
Moltar would later become the first host and producer for Cartoon Network's action animation block Toonami, so we definitely have to thank him for that, especially introducing iconic action shows from the East. Even from a former super-villain, Moltar definitely gave good advice on heroism, friendship, and teamwork during some of Toonami's segments.
Well...*sigh*...enjoy your retirement "Lava-Man," you deserve it...and thanks for all the laughs from childhood up to adulthood. And like TOM said, "may your ovens stay forever lit." R.I.P. Clay
Not sure how I remember this, but Space Ghost once said during the show that Moltar and Zorak was his prisoners. I'm pretty sure that was the only way he could get two nut jobs to work for him. If Space Ghost coast to coast really tied in with Toonami, than it most likely didnt matter years ago when Moltar became host.
Moltar is a good character and host
Moltar will always be one of Cartoon Network's finest VJ's and the 1st VJ of Toonami during the CN Toonami era.
VJ?
@@Y20XTongvaLand Video jockey
Here in 2024 and relentlessly pushing forward even after the loss of so many of our childhood legends.
Amen to this
Thank you Moltar, 23 years ago today you were the 1st host Toonami ever needed! Your money oven is saved
Always remember. Toonami after dark at 11pm after Cartoon Network. When I used to live in Europe that's when toonami used to be on. Maaaaan. R.I.P
I actually teared up.
I don't who this guy was but I give my condolences.
he did the voices of zorak and moltar on space ghost coast to coast and dr weird and his assistant steve on aqua teen hunger force.
I don't even know he is and this still made me feel sad
That's rude to say in a tribute.
T.T STFU we didn't say anything insulting! We didn't know him but we still give respect. doesn't mean it's rude.
***** Comparing an internet tribute to an invite only funeral????
I didn't grow up with Toonami but this was a heart-warming send-off, may you rest in peace C. Martin Croker and your legacy stay forever weird.
Its been 6 years till the day we all miss you C. Martin. You did GODS WORK introducing us in the 90's to the best action cartoons and Anime on the planet. long live Moltar, long live Ghost Planet and long live Toonami.
Fare thee well...you'll never be forgotten Croker.
....bang!
(2018) From someone who was a viewer from day 1. Thank you Moltar. Thank you sir for all those nights of entertainment. You were well received in this quadrant of space. Tom did you good sir. He took over with respect and you will not be forgotten friend. May your Ovens always burn hot Croker. R.I.P.
R.I.P. MOLTAR GREAT MEMORIES OF THE 90'S ORIGINAL TOONAMI!
Let's be clear: no one can ever replace the great Moltar, but TOM would be honoring him.
2016 is the fucking grim reaper.
Thanks toonami for showing love to the character that started it all, see you around moltar....
"May your oven stay forever lit." I have never cried so hard over such a silly line. This is how you truly honor such a great man
That was beautiful.
God damn moltar.... we'll miss you
Ah, Moltar. I always wondered why they retired you. Tom is still cool, though. May your presence and your character resonate forever in our hearts and memories. R. I. P. Martin Croker and God rest you.
This was a beautiful way to honor him. Without Spaceghost, there could be no Moltar, and without Moltar there couldn't have been a Toonami.
So long Martin, thank you for all the memories growing up in my 25 years of life.
These are manly tears I swear... damnit...
I remember seeing this on TV. I knew beforehand he was the voice actor for Moltar, so seeing his image at the end really just felt like an iron-clad punch to the gut.
We'll make sure your oven stays forever lit, C. Martin Croker.
LONG LIVE MOLTAR!!! ill go over to the grave planet and brake as meany statues as i can for you.
rip,
Space Ghost will permanently retire the 'Spank-Ray' in memorial to his dear 'frenemies'...
~ *sniffles* ~
Same
freaking Toonami, making me feel feelings
well you shouldn't have watched it then.
/me eats cold cream of wheat whilst looking at a wall.
RIP
the first host! amazingly Toonami wouldn't have started without Space Ghost!
Toonami is brought to you in Full Rich Mono..... Sweet Dreams Brother!
I have to go now, my planet needs me
Note: Moltar died on the way to his home planet
THAT'S SERIOUSLY WHAT THIS COMES OFF AS
Moltar's message is that he is going back to his planet and he's not coming back. There is no mention of Moltar dying.
True, but it feels like it.
Do you have a comrade?
THAT'S THE JOKE
Kinda hard to get new Moltar lines when his VA passed away
RIP C. Martin Croker. By far the saddest celebrity loss of 2016.
Thank you, Moltar. You have always been my favorite villain of Space Ghost and an awesome host of Toonami. 🙏
This was the same year my grandfather passed, despite never having a real interest in Toonami and anime he still sat there and watched with me, sometimes even talking about it with me. I got to meet Martin at a con once when a while back and told him all about how me and the old man always watched Toonami and Space Ghost Coast to Coast together. I hope he and Martin are up there watching Toonami with me, I know we'll have a lot to talk about when we finally meet again.
I can barely remember Moltar because I was so young when he ran Toonami. Jeez, I can't believe he's already gone for good..
I remember first seeing this two days ago, in my mind I was saying "NOOOOOO!" It sucks that he's gone and died from food poisoning because of eating bad sushi. That's why people need to make sure to cook they food all the way, you'll" never know what will happen. R.I.P. Clay Martin Croker, Space Ghost, Zorak, Moltar etc always.
what are you talking about? sushi is meant to be eaten raw
Well, the sushi that he ate wasn't right since he was not feeling well after leaving the restaurant. Check out the details about his death.www.reddit.com/r/adultswim/comments/53f3bn/details_about_c_martin_crokers_death/
+Doknot1999 bad sushi will give you food poisoning but it wont kill you, from reading the symptoms he was feeling, sounds like he had either had a heart attack or suffered from cardiac arrest
Exactly, because I said to myself, how can food poisoning kill you? That's impossible.
It can kill you, but it doesn't kill you the way Clay died. The timing is all wrong. It fits a heart attack a lot better, the kind where you don't have TOTAL blockage but you still need to get to a hospital asap because you're going to slowly die. It's the kind that got Elvis.
That said, the sushi place he went to is known for being garbage, so it's entirely possible the food poisoning set him off. Y'know a little stress or shock can induce a heart attack.
then again if it was fugu, we're back to it being the same thing again.
This one was hard for me. Clay was a big part of my childhood. I loved Space Ghost C2C, Cartoon Planet, and Toonami and Moltar was my favorite character. Rest in peace.
Was just doin some reminiscing and started down a google rabbit hole. Thought I'd stop by and pay my respects. RIP man, your characters brought so many people so many laughs....
Fuckin crying. I love you Adult Swim.
2016 sure know how to hurt my childhood memories.
I'll punch a random baby just for you Zorak. RestInSpace
When MST3K was winding down, SGC2C moved in and was a welcome addition. Hilarious and unique like a lot of the Adult Swim shows that came after it. The classic Adult Swim was a reason to have cable.
Well... farewell buddy, may your oven stayed forever lit...
Sweet send-off message to Mr. Croker and we'll miss you too buddy
See you in space Cowboy !!!
Clay Martin Crocker (1962-2016)
Well, this year is...crooked.
more like, crooked Hilary. am i right? ;)
WTF!? a dude just died and you made that pun?
oh shut up windex, he died a few days ago and people die everyday. also water is wet.
so salty boo
This entire year disgusts me.
Stay gold, Martin Croker. Stay gold.
this had me tearing up when I heard this. He was a fucking legend.
Ah damn....I remember the old Toonami with Moltar hosting. I can't believe he's gone, he was only 52 as well. Damn this sucks.
I always hoped he'd do Moltar for Toonami again, but I guess that'll never happen now.
What a great tribute. I'm a little too young to have known Moltar while he hosted Toonami (the reruns of Space Ghost will always hold up though) but I'll always appreciate a valued member of the Adult Swim team. Rip Croker.
Gosh man, meeting this guys before he passed is something I never expected. One of the most nicest guys ever
R.I.P C.Martin Corker. You will be forever be remembered as Moltar.
Fair well 👼👼😇😇
I'm confused. I don't know whether to give this a thumb's up or not. This was a real touching send off but that man was instrumental in Toonami's start-up and late night animation on Cartoon Network. God bless him forever more.
Godspeed, Martin Croker. You will always be remembered, old friend.
I've always liked Zorak and loved the one clip where Space Ghost tells Brak a sugar coated version of where babies come from and Zorak says, "You forgot the part where the mommy rips off the daddy's head and eats it!" and Space Ghost says "Ewwwwwwwww!"
This saddens me greatly.
RIP Croker. You made me into the anime fan I am today mostly because of you. I love this network and Toonami as a whole. This year has been rough on everyone and I wish it'd end already. I lost my uncle recently and Prince was one of my favorite artists of all time as well. The Reaper's really working hard lately huh?
A moment of silence for the original host of toonami... Farewell moltar
I'm still pissed that adult swim slashing Toonami's screen time by 30 minutes. I mean wtf AS you every other day to yourself, is that hard to give Saturday to pure Toonami.
Not slashed, just pushed back 30 minutes
Josh A why is the time for it changing?
i'm honestly wondering because it's the first time i've heard of that happening as of late.
Masked Kitty
AS is starting half an hour later regularly now since CN reclaimed their half hour from about a year ago so they can use it to air the final episodes and reruns of Regular Show before it completely ends.
Haloninja808 oh well maybe it'll go back to the normal time once all that's done, i guess I can't complain there then because I honestly really like regular show myself, i thought it got pretty funny and then got pretty serious, i like the way the characters have grown but still feel a little like themselves to me, in terms of how they used to all act before, i just wonder how it'll end, i mean I've heard rumors that the creator's didn't know it was ending before they made this season but I guess only time will tell huh?
+Haloninja808 But were having Home Movies reruns at 4:00am for a while as compensation. Would have preferred reruns of SGC2C or The Brak Show given Martin's passing but I'll take it.
I grew up with the original Moltar his voice practically commanded me to stay tuned to Toonami. Thank you for giving us Toonami Moltar
I didn't grow up when Moltar was the host,but I can see a lot of people miss him,especially now that his VA is dead.R.I.P. C. Martin,you'll be missed.
Memorializing the departed by saying, "May your oven stay forever lit." Ironic. It's what he would have wanted.
Farewell, Moltar... Rest in piece, C. Martin Croker.
I never did understand what it was about Toonami that could just cause you to cry at a moment's notice. The fact that Tom didn't have anything smart to say and just wished him the best just did me in.
Good on Toonami to put this together!
Thanks for being the better host Moltar. May you rest in peace.
This was a man. He fuckin' did things. He made a name for himself, people will watch cartoons with him and remember his mark.
He's got plenty of oxygen now.
Moltor and Moltar are the same person in the 1966 show but may their ovens stay forever lit!
This has been a hell of a ride for me today. I've been binging Space Ghost Coast to Coast and really liked Zorak and Moltar. Then I read the comments for the Zorak episode and everyone is commenting "rest in peace." Then I read about Croker and found my way to this tribute. Was just too late. Fuck.
RIP to the man who played two of space ghosts villains
I think I might watch a Space Ghost Coast To Coast marathon smile laugh n shed a few tearz of laughter. Heaven haz another great talent.
3 years ago, an American animator and voice actor C. Martin Croker (1962-2016) has died in Atlanta, Georgia.
You know how they have the eternal flame memorial, we need the eternal oven for Moltar.
Wow this is sad, I'm 24 and old enough to remember when Moltar was the host, I remember your Dragonball Z and Sailor moon intros and you were the one who made me a Toonami fan. You will be missed man.
God it feels like only yesterday. I discovered Toonami when Sailor Moon first started airing on it and stayed glued to it since. It was weird at first when I tuned in a year later and Tom took over for Moltar. He grew on me and boy did I enjoy it up until Dec 2000.
this brought tears to my eyes when i saw it on tv
You will forever remain in our hearts, Mr. Croker.
