Just got an urge to model some EXOSquad stuff. This has to be one of my favorite childhood shows of all time, and had to be the first Saturday morning cartoon (if you can call it that) that I recall killing off main characters and being extreamly dark and gritty. Any way I'm starting with the Resolute, but I plan to model a couple of Terran and Neosapian millitary ships.

Keep up the good work.

I was old enough to notice the difference in the animation quality of that show and I didn't like it one bit. Things like peoples heads would get smaller and bigger at random times and ships or fighters would grow longer wings at one point and shorter fuselage at another lol.
Funny thing I think the same company that produced the totally spies show also produced exosquad but can't remember for sure atm.
You want some gritty life and death stuff that was good at that time just find some old captain harlock episodes or robotech or starblazers or even tranzor Z. People fought and died all the time in those shows. While gi joe was trying to tell us all to get along these other shows were telling it like it was. Top that off with living under that house that reagan built and having your life threatened on an almost nightly basis by a burglar at 2 in the morning and you learn quickly what life was all about lol.
More on the way soon, just got off work so stay tuned.
Where I lived Exosquad was on at 7 a.m. weekday mornings. I must have caught it accidentally while trying to wake up for work one day. I immediately dismissed it as yet another crappy cartoon that were in abundance during the AM hours. I'm not sure when I got hooked but after watching a few episodes I began to notice something; it had a story that was much more mature, multi-layered and complex than the average cartoon had. Intrigued I stayed with it and was shocked at just how complex and mature the plot was. All concepts and ideas behind the show were what great Science Fiction novels are made of. I saw a level of genius that was astonishing.
Whenever I told a friend about the show the immediate response was, "Wait, this is a cartoon?" Without joking I would say the plot for Exosquad is easily on par with the current TV hit 'Battlestar Galactica.' In fact you could take the original Exosquad show and redo it with live action actors and top notch CG effects without changing a single element and you would have what would amount to a milestone in Television history.
Networks and producers are always looking for 'the next big hit.' If someone was to seriously take on Exosquad and give it the treatment it deserves they would have a masterpiece on their hands.
I have a feeling the writers for Exosquad figured no one was paying any attention to them so they decided to slip a brilliant plot into what would otherwise be called a shlocky cartoon.
The first season is now on Hulu.com. Watch it if you get a chance.
LOVE LIVE THE EXO FLEET!

I believe they are coming out on DVD soon too! Oh this is too true. The whole thing and its close relation to world war II have pritty wide spread apeal. There is a damn good story in there to be told, and the first person to figure that out and do something about it is going to be a very rich man. I am amazed to this day how popular that show was and yet it was still cancelled, at least they resolved the Neosapian War before it was cancelled.

"I have plans to do all 6 Exocarriers:

The secret is they all have the same secondary hull with different fronts.:D Except for Borealis, and Newton of course.
Edit: Still one of the coolest (and at the age of 8 more gut wrenching) moments in saturday morning cartoon history.

I think I still have the RaiderX, and Excalibur Destroids from the Exosquad line. (along with most of the E-Frames

looks like around 1990 but I never seen it back then, tho this would have blended perfectly with the other shows I was watching :-(
anyways, nice models. personally I don't like all the roundish shapes, but that's how the ships look.
for a comic-conversion very well done work
Old shows actually taught kids something like the difference between life and death, right and wrong, sharing, learning, working together well with others. All thats been replaced by the likes of sponge bob and some sexually suggestive mess that ends up being parodied on the internet in a pornographic way. I don't think people want their kids diving into the sea trying to go to the bottom of the ocean looking for sponge bob and gary lol.
Trying to get back on topic here lol but does anyone remember there was a show for mechwarrior? I think that came out not too long before exosquad. Also I think that exosquad went off and then wing commander animated series came on.
edit: Next time I will check all postings prior to replying haha.
Are you gonna do Resolute 2 as well?
