(The New) Battlestars was an American game show that aired for two separate runs on NBC during the early 1980s. Battlestars was similar to Hollywood Squares (another Heatter-Quigley Productions game show) in its gameplay and use of multiple celebrities (leading some fans to dub it "The Hollywood Triangles"). The show was produced by Merrill Heatter Productions, one of Heatter's first shows produced without Bob Quigley.

  • The Battlestars are considered the Autobots' cream-of-the-crop; a team composed of the faction's most skilled and competent warriors. The Battlestars consist of: * Star Convoy (leader) * Sky Garry (second in command) * Grandus (the muscle) * Sixliner (rookie) * and the other guys Star Convoy, Sky Garry and Grandus can combine in vehicle modes to form the Triple Combination Battlestar Attack.
  • The first version of the show premiered on October 26, 1981 with Alex Trebek as the host and Rod Roddy serving as the announcer. NBC scheduled it at 11:30 a.m./10:30 Central, replacing "Card Sharks" and switching places with "Password Plus", but it failed to find ratings against the second half of CBS's "The Price Is Right".

  • The first version of the show premiered on October 26, 1981 with Alex Trebek as the host and Rod Roddy serving as the announcer. NBC scheduled it at 11:30 a.m./10:30 Central, replacing "Card Sharks" and switching places with "Password Plus", but it failed to find ratings against the second half of CBS's "The Price Is Right". NBC decided not to renew the show after two 13-week cycles of episodes and removed both it and another game show "Blockbusters" from its lineup to accommodate another of its struggling daytime series, the soap opera "Texas" which the network moved to the 11:00 hour. The last episode of the first version of "Battlestars" ended on April 23, 1982. Less than a year later after the show's cancellation, NBC commissioned another edition of "Battlestars" as a replacement for the cancelled game show "Just Men!" called "The New Battlestars" which premiered on April 4, 1983, but it ultimately met the same fate as its predecessor and was cancelled after thirteen weeks with the final episode airing on July 1, 1983.
