SPIRAL ZONE was an animated series that lasted just 1 season in 1987, accompanied by a line of expensive (comparatively) action figures and vehicles.
But SPIRAL ZONE took an extremely unlikely route to end up on US television, starting in Japan with virtually no story and even more expensive action figures and being recruited just after the robot craze to succeed BOTH the GOBOTS and GI JOE.
SPIRAL ZONE was not up to the task.
