I definitely had the Shadow Invader and the StarMax Bomber.
Dr. Jeebus had a much bigger Shadow vehicle and I don't see it pictured on the site. It might have been the Mini Tank.
Anyway, these guys were pretty cool. The figures had magnets on their feet so you could stick them on refrigerators, cars, ceiling fans, or any other metal surface you could find.

Ah yes, the Evil Minions of the Triforce  .
I remember watching the show on The Family Channel (not ABC Family or FOX Family, JUST The Family Channel) along with Pole Position and maybe The Bionic Six.
I only had one of the action figures (I think it's this one: http://www.virtualtoychest.com/starcom/starcomsgtredbakerfc.jpg ). But I was enough of a mega man nut that I used a LEGO cylinder piece, fitted it over the hand and made it an arm cannon heh.

Did Pole Position have its own show? I thought it was part of Saturday Supercade, a cartoon series comprised of cartoons featuring Pole Position, Donkey Kong, and some others I don't remember. Frogger maybe.

yeah i only knew about it being combined with the other shows. i used to watch the bigfoot/ robotix/ jem show. seemed like they barely ever played robotix though. i think you only got two per week and it was usually jem and bigfoot. ....maybe....it's been a long time.

I don't remember much about what specific stuff I had, but I definately remember loving these things. I could entertain myself for the entire hour long car ride home from my grandmother's house (where Syd and I normally recieved new ones as presents) by seeing how long I could have one of these dudes stick to the metal part of the seatbelt that I apparently wasn't using.

 Your birthday does not give you permission to do that.
