Guess That Retro Toon.

Here's another clue. The main character is a genetically-created shapeshifting superweapon of immense destructive power, but he's not quite finished.

Is this the toon with that hotrod car that turns into a robot, hmm ...
... fatguy with a blonde beard, earring? backwards hat, something like that?

(what was the name though lol)

No, but it did have a dinosaur with a backward hat. Also, the hero doubled as the comic relief.

Extreme Dinosaurs? ... maybe Street Sharks ... I'm stumped

Any other photos?

Stumped. I was initially thinking Denver the Last Dinosaur, but that's not it.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs? Long shot, but I say no.

I used to watch it, but it's going a long ways back, like, 15 years.

It's not Stretch Armstrong is it? That looks like it could be him (in unstretched form) and his evil brother Wretch in that still.

Nope.

This is driving me barmy! I used to watch that cartoon but I have no idea what the name is!

Another clue: The little guy in that picture (who would normally look like the big guy next to him if he weren't all messed up) was voiced by Billy West. Among other things, he spouted a lot of goofy non-sequiturs.

I remember that show. Project G.e.e.K.e.R.

CBS show around '96 or '97. They cancelled it rather quickly. I used to watch it and the Ninja Turtles before both were pulled.

Woo hoo! That's it. I'm amazed that one stumped so many people. But the show did end rather quickly. It was an awesome show that had decent ratings, but it apparently fell through the cracks when CBS shuffled the schedule to make room for mandatory educational programming. Something had to go, and it wasn't going to be an established show. A pity.

They got rid of a lot of programming. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles went around that time, too. Then again, it'd been on for like, 8 years by then.

Funny thing is, they gave Weird Al a show. Then, they completely re-vamped it, told him it "HAD" to be educational, then edited out half the jokes. They'd write things specifically so it'd get written out, though, so they could still use some 'adult' humor. It killed the show. If he'd done the show for Fox or Cartoon Network or Comedy Central, it'd have lasted a while longer.

Hell, I went to a dedicated cartoon board with those stills and no one knew what it was.
