    I suppose the most recognisable one would be (internationally at least) Cobra Commander:



    But i only mildly liked some of the GIJoe episodes, since that series was plagued by the ever-ludicrous 'Cobra soldiers fire without ever hitting any human', regardless of how many were firing.

    Inhumanoids, a short-lived American 80s cartoon, was exceptional in my view in respect to the sheer bleakness of the environments it presented, along with some rather bizarre monsters. Most of the action was going on below the earth in a massive system of caverns and a lost world, where the Inhumanoids were in locked battle both with the humans and other types of beings like stone-archers or some sort of dual-entity which was a keeper of the balance in the underworld

    The Inhumanoids in total were 5 (the series only lasted for a season), and of those only 3 were present in all episodes. D-Compose was likely the most interesting of those:



    Although he wasn't the most brutal. That title belongs to a newly born/resurrected Inhumanoid which had no arms and only one eye, and actually the first thing it did when born was to eat his brothers who were still smaller inside their eggs.

    Lastly, from the cartoons, there was the archenemy in SilverHawks, named Monstar:

    Of course, if we include Anime, there is this...:



    But Nausica had a pleiad of excellent characters and beings anyway...

    Transformers would have to be up there. (Star Scream ftw)

    The Real Ghostbusters(I liked the fact that Garfield played Peter's voice and didn't like Joey from Fullhouses take on it)

    COPS(Central Organization of Police Specialists), do remember loving this show.

    I guess you are probably just talking about the regular cartoons on TV, but I will throw a movie in there.

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

    You could pick a bunch of characters from this one, most notably Jessica Rabbit. I think I would pick the Weasels though.

    Jessica was a revelation, especially for youngster like me

    Speaking of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", I think it should be pointed out that its success was determinant to the future of animation in the USA. Cartoons that people my age grew up with owe a lot to Spielberg and co.
