Exo Squad

Show Summary

Aired: 1993 - 1995
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

Exo Squad, an animated series from 1993 to 1995, ran for two seasons on the USA network and Fox. The basis of the show revolves around humans and "Neosapiens", genetically engineered humans used to perform manual laborer and menial work. Set during the future when humans have inhabited both Mars and Venus, a war erupts when Neosapiens commence a surprise attack on humans when the galactic spaceforce, known as the Exo Fleet, is off in deep space fighting pirates. The rest of the series involves the exploits of the Exo Fleets Able Squad, which use body armor like military machines called Exo-skeletons or E-Frames to combat the forces of the Neosapiens and free the occupied planets. The show involves deep character development, the relationships between characters, moral decisions, military intrigue, and adult overtones. Originally marketed to children, the show was better suited for teenagers and young adults. More in-depth information for Exo Squad can be found at:

This was by far one of the best Sci-Fi cartoons of the 90s. Unfortunately it got crappy time slots (I've heard 5am in places) which limited its populatity. There's a great website maintained by Patrick Danner at:

The show had some really great writing; it referenced real places and real historical events. The show addressed questions about the morality of genetic engineering, slavery, what makes someone human, and how creative we are as a species. If you haven't seen it, check it out.
