Starcom: The U.S. Space Force is a 1987 animated syndicated television series inspired by a motorized toy franchise manufactured by Coleco. The plot detailed the adventures of an American astronaut brigade as they fought off attempted invasions by Shadow Force, a nasty collection of humans and robots led by the nefarious Emperor Dark. You might remember them as the small action figures with magnets in their feet. Unfortunately, no one seemed to care as 1987 was jammed full of other more popular lines based on already established brands like GI Joe and Transformers and MASK. The show earned poor ratings, and it was cancelled after 13 episodes. The series was broadcast in reruns in the early 1990s, but no new episodes were produced.
