Battle of the Cartoon Theme Songs, Week IV

Here we are--the last week before the fantastic final four. There was some controversy about whether last week's competition was rigged in favor of G.I. Joe. But I can assure you I did not like any of the cartoons offered last week. And apparently, few of you liked them either. Nevertheless, someone had to win, and that someone was G.I. Joe with 47% of the vote. Thundercats had a strong showing at 31%. He-Man was respectable at 20%. And She-Ra garnered 1 vote from a brave soul out there; 0% of the vote.

Who will join Duck Tales, Pinky and the Brain, and G.I. Joe in next's week's final? Whichever cartoon can make it through the vaunted Fighting Robotics Division.

You'll have until Tuesday morning to vote.

1. Go-Bots
Pro: It wouldn't take much to memorize thes lyrics
Con: A monkey could have written these lyrics ("The Go-Bots!")



2. Transformers
Pro: The iconic "More than meets the eye"
Con: A lot of strange, mechanical transforming noises; struggles to find a consistent meter



3. Voltron
Pro: Encouraging to see the good planets of the solar system working together for a change
Con: I can't believe Optimus Prime did the intro for Voltron



4. Mask
Pro: Nice to have an actual song again, vintage 80s sound
Con: vintage 80s sound
