Crush Class: C (childhood)
One of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons as a child, "Mighty Orbots" was a semi-obscure US/Japan collaborative 'super combining robot' cartoon show by TMS Entertainment, which lost out on merchandising opportunities thanks to a lawsuit from Tonka toys. A fun 13-ep show, with LUSH animation by Tokyo Movie Shinsha studio (who would later be known for animation on some of the most visually impressive 1980s/90s episodes of TV cartoons from Disney & Warner Brothers) - and writing not unlike a 1970s Hanna-Barbera show.
