80's cartoons and PCE/TG16 games

[Nando]

M.A.S.K.?

What was the cartoon (or was it just toys), with the elemental holograms?  They were small little bastards and the whole concept was a rock/paper/scissors type thing.  Water > Fire > Earth

Visionaries!

Nope, not those.  It was something different.

Battle Beasts?

Battle of the Planets and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors were two of my favourites back in the day.  I could see BOTP easily being made into a video game.

Yup, Battle Beasts!  I think I still have mine somewhere, probably boxed up with what's left of my M.U.S.C.L.E. figures!  I don't recall a Battle Beasts cartoon though.  In Japan, they were called BeastFormers, & were considered a spinoff of Transformers believe it or not!

Edit-found this on wiki:
As part of the Takara strategy, many of the Battle Beasts appeared in the episode "Rebellion on Planet Beast" of the Japanese Transformers cartoon series Transformers: The Headmasters. The Battle Beasts reside on the planet Beest.

So I guess technically did have a cartoon appearance, but not one of their own, just a lone TF episode.  I have Headmasters, but haven't watched it yet.

80's cartoons were often just vehicles to sell the toys, so it's easy to assume one had the other.

[EDIT] Man, the box-set looks sweet (DVD).  What are the differences between the American and Japanese versions?
