It's got a 1970's Sci Fi feel to it. Very Buck Rogers or Battlestar Galatica.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

It's from Terrorhawks I think.

After some quick research it is indeed the Terrorhawks and that thing is a Zeroid, there's an embedded youtube video of the credits in this thread: http://www.type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=45765&page=4

I used to love the terrorhawks, scared the hell out of me though.

Terrahawks, yes - I believe the Zeroid in that picture is Sergeant Major Zero. They where able to increase their own mass and made a distinct "boing" sound when they bounced. The enemy counterparts where called the Cubes.

Oddly enough, I vaguely remember seeing an episode or two of the Terrahawks in my youth. Probably on some cable channel while on vacation or something, because until I looked them up in Wikipedia I had no clue what you all were talking about. The mention of the hermaphrodite baby particularly jogged my memory.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
