Since this appears to be the lesser known of the shows in my last post, I thought I'd elaborate for those of you who missed it. Goldar, Silvar, and Gam were a family of "Space Giants" (although Goldar was the only true giant, the others were normal-sized.) They turned into rockets and flew around instead of using cars like the rest of us saps. They hung out on earth with Miko and his dad, fighting the evil forces of Rodak (pictured in my last post). Rodak had a fleet of little ninja-like minions who turned into a tar-like substance when you killed them. Rodak also abducted Miko's mom in a early episode, and many an episode after that focused on efforts to get her back. (Actually, Goldar and Silvar were sadly unable to have children. But when they came to earth, they liked young Miko so much that they cloned him and made Gam, their son.) Good times.

Rock!
In that top picture, it looks like Goldar is actually on a distant planet with a super-nova happening in the distance. That's some great CGI!
Space Giants you say..
Wow.
Looks like fun.
I think they lived in a cave, now that I think about it. But that was some killer cave CGI!
Funny thing...when I was five, I never questioned why a giant space robot would have hair....
I've YouTubed a few Space Giants segments. A lot more horrible than I remember.
They lived in a cave? Why weren't they called "Cave Giants". Ooh, or "Hair Gaints".
