There better be some fart noises in this video, I've had a rough couple of weeks. My Mom was in the hospital for the better part of a month.
Do the never ending story the animated series
So, if the trademark ran out, does anyone own the Inhumanoids still? If not, is it going to the public domain anytime soon?
Where can I stream allepisodes on TH-cam, anyone has a link?
How are you trying to kill somebody? Better only your topic than both THAT AND your ad. Unsubscribing. This is how I lost my second father uncle on an August 8 one year
Inhumanoids was like an 80's death metal album cover come to life
😂🤘
Seems about right
Look up d'compose by engorged
Hell yea dude🤘
De-Compose turning people with a touch was mind blowing as a little kid. Very disturbing.
A neighbor kid owned Tendril and De-Compose's huge oversized action figures, they were so cool!
I remember that freaking me out.
@@markcastellanet9672 I loved the episodes that included D'Composes' undead underworld along with those creepy ass skeletal giant bats! Chris Latta was one hell of a voice actor btw.
I remember my cat was terrified of Tendril.
D’Compose was an alligator monster profiling Curly and a zombie army attached.
I remember bringing D'Compose to my third-grade show and tell. I'll never forget the shocked reaction from the teacher and some of my classmates, including cries of "Gross!" A little too metal for mainstream tastes, I guess.
Lame :p
Glad to hear this. Brings back vivid memories of my own!
Had the Inhumanoids VHS from 1988 until it was eaten by the VCR in 2013. Pity.
"you know what kids love? Cthulhu Mythos!!" Decompose is on the list of "cartoons that scarred me" along with "Shipwreck being dragged down a hallway by grey goo that used to be his friends" and "Optimus Prime dying".
oh man that synthoid reveal was serious nightmare fuel.
For me, it was "The Creeping Horrak" from He-Man! Just the concept of them having a super aggressive black, gooey moss that took over your house and tried to swallow and smother you was so scary to me
I sort of remember the shipwreck one is the clip on youtube?
@@queenflash2012the entire gi joe arah series is on Tubi &for free!
@@queenflash2012 Check There’s No Place like Springfield: Pt 1 | G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero | S01 | E54 | Full Episode and There’s No Place like Springfield: Pt 2 | G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero | S01 | E55 | Full Episode They are both on TH-cam.
I loved the dramatic scene in that episode when his wife and daughter betray him and he gets so emotional. They even censored that part for a while, I guess to not traumatize kids, but they made it cheaper by Shipwreck entering and Polly already destroying the syntoids (and seeing the uncensored scene now, it isn't as dramatic as I remembered but still, they tried to put drama and it was nice.
The release of Decompose in the first episode was severely disturbing, even by today's standards. It was freaky, but AWESOME! Inhumanoids and Exo-Squad need reboots SO BADLY! Such great stories.
Yeah, I loved this show, especially dcompose. It was the kind of stuff kids actual want, gross scary stuff.
I totally agree about both shows!
I loved Decompose, because Starscream
Pacific Rim reads pretty exactly like an Inhumanoids movie without the license.
Exo-squad! I caught it so rarely early mornings, but I loved it.
Woke up screaming one night in 1986 because of watching Sandra Shore getting D'Composed. This show still hits something primordial and deep in me.
Yeah flint dille is really into traumatizing kids.
Inhumanoids and Visionaries are two of the most underrated cartoons of the 80's from Sunbow.
Imagine if someone made Inhumanoids into a videogame, Done right it would amazing could play like Monsterhunter with a dark cosmic horror vibe.
Or another version of Rampage but with Mortal Kombat dreams
Imagine it in a style similar to Transformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.
So glad I grew up in the 80s. We had the best toys and shows. This show was awesome. Essentially Cthulhu for kids. Too bad it didn’t stick around but glad that they later made shows of other adult brands I loved like Rambo and Robocop
Yeeesss! The only toy line I actually wanted turned into a movie franchise! Just imagine the kaiju sized CGI horror of Decompose!
I loved my Inhumanoids toys. These guys & the western Spiral Zone... they were awesome!
Really hope this makes a comeback someday--the premise has serious potential, even for modern times.
The Inhumanoids opening theme has been living in my head rent free from the moment I first heard it!
Me to
The thumbnail triggered it for me😂
Absolutely agree 100%
Inhumanoids! Inhumanoids! The evil that lies wiiiiiiiiiiithin!
INHUMANOIDS felt like a Bert I. Gordon cartoon. Heros in Iron Man suits fighting giant monsters. The long narrative storyline was great. Sandra Shore was very nice.
Wasn't she voiced by Lady Jaye?
This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. It was almost like a cartoon for adults with the drama and storylines (IIRC). I loved the toyline even more. Unfortunately I didnt take very good care of my toys when I was a kid and I beat them up pretty bad. Inhumanoids are fetching big money. Much like most of the toys from my youth. I was a child of the 80s.
The show was really good. Still holds up. We did get a great deal of cool toy based programming and movies as 80s kids. You probably were rough on them like many kids, but the Inhumanoids were notoriously bad for breaking and having issues. Problems with plastics getting brittle and some of them getting weird residues. Much of the 1980s plastic didn't hold up great, but Inhumanoids is almost as bad as Dino Riders and Silverhawks for having extensive damage that was the fault of the materials. That is one of the reasons they fetch so much on the secondary market.
As a kid I remember thinking scary but interesting this show was. The people changing would blow mind.
Actually, The Inhumanoids did make an appearance on Jem. In one episode, Decompose is seen raging on TV. I'm not sure if they meant him to be a cartoon character in the Jem universe, or if Decompose was in the midst of detroying a city while an oblivious Jem and the Holograms performed vapid pop songs.
Or it could have just been sloppy editing. 😂 Sunbow was stretched pretty thin and their outsourced studios were not always meticulous about quality control.
I like to think it's the second one because I just think the idea of two completely different genres happening in the same world to be interesting
Noone can simply describe the intoxicating smell of a brand new, out of the box Earth corps figure. It was great!
I love the creepy designs of the INHUMANOIDS.
I was just old enough to understand what it means to decompose when I saw this show, and that made it so much more terrifying.
Man, the show used to creep me out. I absolutely loved how it was a horror cartoon, which was way more fun than just a Sunday morning half hour.
Inhumanoids! Inhumanoids!
The Evil that lies within----
Down in the fiery depths of the earth where nightmares begin!"
Who can stop 'em?
Earth Corps, I hope!"
Inhumanoids! Inhumanoids!
The Evil that lies within
5:55 Jem and The Inhumanoids
Finally something to rival "Barbenheimer".
“Jem and the Inhumanoids” has the potential to be the greatest cartoon of all time!! 🎸 💀
As I well know, can't stay in a rock band forever. Need to go onto that second career. 😅
Bring back Inhumanoids!
BUT give them better heroes PLEASE
My only experience with Inhumanoids was a three episode cartoon VHS video. The episodes were G.I. Joe/Action Force series 1 episode 25 Where the Reptiles Roam. The Inhumanoids episode cannot remember been over 35 years seen I have seen it. The Transformers episode series 2 episode 46 Starscreams Brigade.
All cool episodes filled with action and adventure. So after watching this video I will be taking Dan's advice and find those episodes of Inhumanoids.
I had the exact same vhs as a kid. I had no idea what Inhumanoids was but it was far more dark and graphic than the other two shows!
Oh, I haven't forgotten -- I own the DVD set. This has got to be the most horrific cartoon ever sold to kids, and it's freakin' cool. It was nifty to see that thanks to scuzzy reporter Hector Ramirez, this cartoon exists in the same universe as G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Jem.
And 'RoboCop'!
I mean Transformers proved that. Cobra Commander appearing in season 3. Plus the character of Merissa Faireborn being canonically the daughter of Flint and Lady Jaye from GIJoe.
Right. And D'Compose made a cameo on a news program on tv in a tv shop on Jem and the Holograms
@@dinosoid2000 Yeah, but that was just two shows. Hector tied ALL FOUR shows together.
@@derekmason1881 Yeah, but that was just two shows. Hector tied ALL FOUR shows together.
I always compare Inhumanoids to the Centurions as both shows featured a group of scientists that wore body armor exo suits to fight evildoers, AWESOME!!
Oh yeah, I remember watching this as a kid. The toys were much bigger than the Toys R Us catalog would have you believe. The show was indeed disturbing and scary at times, but I always looked forward to watching it even though I can’t really remember anything specific about the plot. 😅
It was a good thing this show was programed for Saturday mornings or i definitely would have had trouble sleeping if it were in the evening!
I remember seeing the Decompose toy at a Toys-R-Us when I was very little. Some other kid had opened the package it was in and left it standing like it had broken itself out. That sight scared the crap out of me.
My childhood was the 80s and I'm so happy it was I still collect transformers and he man but I had these as a toy and had a blast! Such a great time to be a kid!! I wish they bring these back again!
You were probably thinking of Top Cat, Dan.
Loved the Inhumanoids! I had a lot of the toys and hated that it got cancelled. The first pitch looked super interesting with D. Compose as a hero? I watched the show again not too long ago and I was still impressed by the story and the how dark it got. Still love it and it fits in with shows like Spiral Zone too that had a bit more going on with it than normal
Oh _Hell_ yes, _Spiral Zone!_ _Inhumanoids_ and _Spiral Zone!_
Good lord, I watched this at age 5, screwed my imaginations up. Then I come to class, no one else seems traumatized as I was.
I want to watch now haha
I loved Inhumanoids as a kid. I had a bunch of the toys too, but Decompose was the best toy ever! Underneath his ribcage was this soft red plastic that felt like literal guts. There's been nothing like Inhumanoids ever since. It was a legit horror show for kids that refused to pull its punches.
I _absolutely loved this show._ I watched as many episodes as I was able to find, and got as many of the figures as I could find. I still have Redlen the Redwood on my windowsill so the light pump catches the sun.
Shows like _Inhumanoids_ and _Spiral Zone_ were two of my absolute favorites as a kid, and actually helped save my sanity and make me feel like _I wasn't alone_ out there. Shows like these genuinely made me feel like there were actually _other kids out there like me_ and I wasn't all alone... there were other kids somewhere out there with similar interests, or they wouldn't be making something like this, other kids who were interested in something darker and with more of an edge than just more goofy garbage like _Filmation's Ghostbusters._
Just a few years later I would discover Lovecraft and Arthur Machen and William Hope Hodgson and other Horror writers, and things like the _Call of Cthulhu_ Role-Playing Game, and it finally clicked that I _wasn't_ just a lone freakish weirdo the way I'd always felt while I was constantly being mocked and beaten up in school... I finally realized that I was actually part of a _whole community of freakish weirdos,_ and we _definitely weren't alone!_ 😁
It certainly didn't stop the mockery or the beatings, but it did give me some comfort in knowing that I wasn't all alone.
Inhumanoids was barely on my radar back then, but really enjoy seeing them show up and learning about it now. Thank you!
They really need to be brought back and given the transformers treatment . Like new characters and factions like transformers did with then having factions and sub-factions with their own gimmicks .
This would be very cool. After the release of the Sail Barge Khetanna, I wrote an article about what big thing might be next for Hasbro, and Inhumanoids featured heavily. I'd love it if they scaled the humans to 3.75" scale, made beefed-up mech suits for them to go in (not just have the helmet come off the suit to show a tiny li'l head), and released ALL the Inhumanoids, Gagoyle and Sslither included. They'd look AMAZING with modern sculpting, painting, and articulation.
@@Beedo_Sookcool They could do so much stuff with then like warhammer with the whole armies and painting ( mostly the armies )
and maybe a new comic series with the thee main inhumanoids spliting up and starting a war with each other taking diferent parts of the planet as their bases and creating new monsters to serve then , with the earthcorps recruiting new members to face then. ( this part is just a sugestion but in some media the imhumanids and earhcorp have alied thenselves with the heroes and villains from visionaries so it would be cool if they were available armies ). what do you think ?
@@joaolucasnascimentoleite2831 Sound like cool directions to me! No reason all of these and more couldn't be explored, if a revival were to come along, I think.
@@Beedo_Sookcool Fair point bro
Had Inhumanoids continued, we probably would've saw More Inhumanoids and mutants
9 & 2 the evils that hides within
I'd watch Jem and the Inhumanoids!
I had one episode of this in vhs as a kid (along with an episode of transformers and G I Joe/ Action Force). At the very end of the episode two characters are watching the birth of some blue creatures with one eye, two legs and a huge mouth. One character states that the creatures are deadly from birth, leading to one creature tearing the limbs off one of its siblings and devouring the eye and brains of another. That was screwed up for a kids show!
Nightmares as a kid
Love learning about cartoons and toys that came before my time. Thanks for all the great videos!
I loved the show and the toys were bigger than life compared to GI Joes or even He-Man. A shame it didn't catch fire.
Not only did I never never know this was a thing as a kid, I dont even remember the toys on the shelves .... but also I still have never watched it even after learning about this a decade ago so I think i'm gonna spend the next few days and watch both this and Jayce and the wheeled warriors and see what I missed as a kid.
It was on Sunday mornings. And for a short time.
It's possible that you either lived in a market that didn't air it, or you didn't watch local indy stations on Sunday mornings when it was on.
I remember this thing it was gruesome but I just had to watch each episode because I wanted to know what will happen next. I even remember one thing that had a crystal stomach and people could be seen getting dissolved by the acid.
About time someone did something about my all time favorite toy when I was a kid inhumaniod thank you
Jemhumanoids! Jemhumanoids!
The evil that sings a bad hymn!
Can you imagine???
That is what happens when you cross Barbie and experiments with radiation.
The creation of Nightcrawler scared the shit out of me when i was a kid. I loved it.The toys were dope to boot.
The Gagoyle was chilling for me!
I think the human Earthcorps figures would've fared better if their giant suits of armor weren't the actual figures, but just shells for them to ride in, with the actual humans being G.I. Joe scaled 3.75" figures. That way, you could then in turn use your own G.I. Joe figures to wear the suits of armor and have them fight the giant Inhumanoid monsters.
This show was epically grotesque & awesomely horrid, loved it ‼️😄😅👍🏻👌🏻👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾
“We created a show with a powerful anti-wealth message!….But it’s not meeting our own wealthy demands so…Cancel it!!!”
😂😂😂
when do we get the secret history of Secret Galaxy would love to see how all this came to be.
Just went to start watching the show after enjoying This video and there Really is alot of Screams, Yells and Battle Cries in just the first episode alone, looking forward to the rest of it.
😄👍
I love the inhumanoids.the evil that lies within, indeed. Lol.
The Inhumanoids were rad. They should have been the heroes.
I never saw the show, but I scored a Redsun figure from a school raffle. I was mesmerized by the eyes. First time i had ever seen (what would be known as light piping) in a toy. The bright, emerald green was like looking into another world to my 7 year old eyes.
Light piping is *still* pretty damn cool and not used enough!!
Yeah, I love the effect. Especially in the star wars power of the force jawas eyes. Agreed, it should be incorporated more in toy designs.
I vaguely remember the cartoon, I didn't know there were people or those transforming rocks. I remember seeing the green guy in stores but I had the rib cage guy. I had him fight my g.i. joes and I needed a robeast for Voltron, I had the big Voltron you can put the people in, so he was a good robeast for Voltron cause that line of Voltron figures never had robeasts.
It was Super Saturday here in Maryland.
I was 13ish and still LOVE The Inhumaniods!!!! It's no Air Raiders though lol😅😅😅😅
Loved this cartoon, the story was mindblowing for me as a kid. The mixture of creatures and alliances to fight against a greater evil, the role of greedy and power hungry humans helping that same evil, it was just too good to last. I still love that the series has a closure wich is more than all other cartoon series ever had!
DE-COM-POOOOOSE!!!!!
They've since become comfortable with their sexuality and are now Outhumanoids.
I know Hasbro hasn't touched the INHUMANOIDS because of some BS deal with Marvel, but now is definitely the time for a reboot!!!!!!!
Loved the show. It was first true move into horror stories and I loved it.
i *ADORED* These Monsters from this Show/Toyline! i just wish they had never lost the rights... maybe we'd have a live action movie by now! or at the VERY LEAST Re-Productions of the Toys!
I had 2 of the big monster action figures as a kid, can't remember the names though. One looked like one of the demon dog's from Ghostbusters, big brown demon looking thing, and the other was the one with the rib cage that opened up to capture people. I loved those things lol
Metlar and Decompose
I STILL have my Tendril and De-Compose in a box in my closet LOL. I always wanted this and SPIRAL ZONE to cross over! Coulda been LEGENDARY!
Ah yes, the biggest threat to the Earth, exploration. Definitely not unrestricted capitalism.
Wow, I just realized Cobra Commander was voiced by the guy that didn't have 20 bucks in Roadhouse! 😲
MFer going full GQ on us.
You’re making us look bad in our hoodies and flip flops
My bro and I had most of this series! He had the Earth Core dudes, and Decay. I had Magnacore & Tendril😎. We loved this toyline & cartoon show. Really was disappointed it didn't last😔. Could've been another legacy.
I was in that target demographic, and one of those who were traumatized by Decompose mutating people. Man even the logo scared the heck out of me! I was really afraid that a monster hand would break through cracks in the pavement and grab me.
Wow, Inhumanoids was started by Tom Defalco.. most notable as the editor in chief during Marvel’s period of multi-million selling X-men and Spider-Man comics
I've met Flint, and asked him directly about the pronunciation of his surname.
It's "Dill" like the pickles, it's just an Old English spelling with a silent "e".
Somehow this one flew right under my nose, I don’t recall ever seeing them. Looks pretty badass though.
It was probably a victim of the "Super Saturday/Sunday" erratic scheduling more than anything. That show was liable to pop up at any time over the weekend without warning, usually following a sports event that had distorted the schedule. One thing that killed a serial-storyline in the pre-streaming world was erratic scheduling. I remember wanting to keep up with Inhumanoids, but it was just impossible. You never knew when it was coming on, and when it did, you didn't know what was going on with the story.
BTW - Which crashed jet you suppose Ace built his suit out of? There were so many.
But I don't really think all those toys belonged in the same universe. Easter eggs like Hector Rameriez was fine, but it is unlikely Cobra could accomplish much with extinction level threats like Megatron and the Inhumanoids running around. Perhaps "unofficial sequel" made more sense.
I was wondering how this cartoon passed me by as a kid, but if it was Sunday in my market, I would've been in church. [Personally, I missed a lot of Saturday morning cartoons too because Saturdays I went to see my dad.] I gotta check out the episodes.
I remember when I discovered a Lovecraft book, hidden up in an dusty attic. I asked an adult and they were like, "oh it's about these giant god like entities that used to rule the world and now they are coming back".
I was like--"oh, like the inhumanoids--the evil that lies within!"
Inhumanoids is a series that I missed out on in my childhood but discovered and loved as an adult; I have a lot of respect for how shocking this show was (made even more powerful by the excellent animation) and how much it still holds up. The three main monsters are such great characters and play off each other so well that I would have been fine if they had been the protagonists of the show instead of the humans!
Oh heck, I thought this was some kind of fever dream. The only thing I ever remembered was Decompose's chest and turning people into monsters. I've been trying to figure out what this was for years!
Beyond the visuals, a line from the first episode has been stuck in my brain for almost 40 years now:
“…were they from outer space, mutations from toxic waste, or a mass illusion caused by the stress of modern living.” 😅
It should just be remade as an adult show, dark comedy but it needs better writers. Kinda felt like they were just slapping crap together at times and the characters relationships didn’t make much sense. Left asking “why?” A lot.
Discount and liquidation stores were blowing these toys out at three to ten dollars. Bravestarr, Wheeles Warriors, Laser Tag, and much more too!
Inhumanoids was broadcast by Super Channel somewhere in the 80's/90's in their Supertime cartoon/kid's show program. It was completely different to the rest including G.I. Joe, Robotech, Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years, Photon, Macron 1 and the like.
I loved Inhumanoids when it first came out, even though D’Compose sent me hiding behind the couch every time.
Look at Dapper Dan all suited up and matching beard to shirt!
Never knew of this show when I was a kid in Sweden, but would probably have liked it.
I never saw the cartoon (did it even air in the UK?) but I did read Inhumanoids when it was the B-strip in the weekly Transformers UK comic. I really liked the full page panel of D'Compose reaching out to the guy in yellow/blue armour, hissing "D'Compose!" in a dashed speech bubble.
UK Transformers had some great B-strips: Spitfire and the Troubleshooters, Hercules, Power Pack, Rocket Racoon.... ah, good times.
A Transformers and Micronauts crossover would have been perfectly sensible as they are connected (no pun intended) in the Japanese toys they were based on. I am curious if the Micronauts would have become the juggernaut that the Transformers became had they had a cartoon series. The first series of Marvel comics were pretty good.
5:09 So D. Compose was originally the name of a good guy. Very interesting.
Oh… so this is why I wasn’t aloud to watch this show. Only remembered the name. Ah well. ✝️parents
I loved this cartoon... Decompose was a gangster. Lol
Inhumaniods is such a cool cartoon, the show’s mature theme and shock value is something that wouldn’t be allowed for kids nor primetime network television! I’m glad there’s no reboot from Netflix, because they would ruin the show’s legacy. Even AVGN and Mike Matei are big fans of Inhumaniods!
When the Statue of Liberty came to life and became Metlar's nagging wife was when I knew the show was running out of ideas 😅
Not to be confused with Inseminoids, the b movie about mutated salmon/human hybrids doing exactly what the name suggests to women on a beach.
Man, so this was the cartoon I remembered seeing way back!
I was just browsing the channels and I saw this lady that got held by one of the uh Inhumanoids and she became all deformed and gross. I even saw this guy who was held by them and whatever held him melted his armor and I remember seeing his ribs jut out
Yeahp it sure traumatized younger me hahaha! But I am willing to watch this again because it looks dope!
Loved InHumanoids hoping some toy company gets ahold of the license for them soon!
D . Compose changing people to zombies by capturing them in his ribcage was a bit much for me when I was a kid, I remember getting the blue hero with the green claws for a birthday gift one year.
