Production notes
One of the rotating segments on the Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, the Teen Titans were based on the DC Comics of the same name. The Titans were a junior version of the Justice Leaque of the America and included Robin, Batman's ward/partner; Aqualad, Aquaman's sidekick; Speedy, the Green Arrow's partner; Wonder Girl, Wonder Woman's sidekick; and Kid Flash, the Flash's nephew and occasional partner.
All of the comic book Titans were present in the cartoon version with the exception of Robin, the boy wonder. Filmation didn't have the rights for the character at that time.

The Monster Machine
I am an avid cartoon collector and watcher, and one night around 2:00 am on the Cartoon Network, I saw this come across the screen and was delightfully surprised it was one I hadn't seen or heard of before. The story was a litle stale but for the time it was released it was a good story. There were a few problems with the art. Such as, Kid Flash's hair looked like he was wearing a black beret instead of not having a top on the headpiece of his uniform. The Flash's costume coloring was a little off too. He had on a red unitard, with yellow leggings and red boots. But as storylines from the 60's go, I would give this one a B-.
