story identification - Sci-fi cartoon show with an elite soldiers group


There was this sci-fi animated series. A cartoon show, if you must. It had a group of men and a woman who were part of some special elite group. The had lego blocks sort-of-a-thing on their body (not sure if as a part of their armour). Whenever the need arose, special weapons or types of equipment would attach to their backs, their arms etc. For example, you could attach jetpack wings to the back and basically fly. Or you could attach a gun to your arm.


I am just able to remember one particular scene and have mentioned all that I could recall from it.


All the characteristics of the show I would now further describe may be from a completely different series and just mixed up with this memory.


There was this white dude, who was the leader of this squad and would get the best possible equipments for a particular fighting climax.



The setting was a pretty modern day era, which I don't think had dark gloomy alien species. Completely not sure about this part though.



Answer



Some elements of your description match with The Centurions, an animations series + associated toy line dating back to the 80s:



It had a group of men and a woman who were part of some special elite group.



The main protagonists are three men (later episodes add two more guys) forming the eponymous special sqad, but there is an important female character providing technical support.

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.
