Just so people know, Robotix was a construction kit line by Milton Bradley (subsidiary of Hasbro) in the same sort of toy as Meccano construction kits or Erector Sets and K'Nex. A short lived comic and cartoon were made to try and promote these sets. The comic was published by Marvel while Sunbow AND Marvel Productions produced the cartoon for the Super Saturday/Super Sunday/Super Week show, to promote this line with Jem, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines and Inhumanoids, That's why they were able to recycle music pieces from G.I. Joe/Transformers and Inhumanoids as they were ALL by the same composers; Johnny Douglas and Robert Walsh and use the same Los Angeles based talent pool of actors for the characters. And YES four bars of the theme do sound like the song 'Ghostbusters' by Ray Parker Jr. It was a coincidence. The toys, cartoon and mini comic only lasted a year. The characters sadly did not appear like the construction kits, with the exception of Argus and there was no good vs. evil conflict. Just build the biggest motion toy that you can through multiple parts.
Josh Darnell OK then, but you see my point is that the majority of the characters didn't look like their cartoon counterparts. Venjurax for example was a space station kit or something like that.
chinito77 Some production companies were able to re-use tracks by the same composer, another fine example is Shuki Levy who's music gets re-used a few times in Saban and DiC productions. You're welcome. :)
Man, this takes me back!! Back in the 80`s during Transformers, GI Joe, GoBots, He-Man, Thundercats, Silverhawks, C.O.P.S, even the InHumanoids! This was a Golden Age of Cartoons.
Seems like we couldn't go a week without some sort of alien invasion back then. The younger generations owe us for taking up arms so they could live this peaceful lifestyle.
This is like (The Real) Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters, the latter which was done by Filmation and confused a lot of kids of my generation, making us think they were some sort of farm team to the much more movie like Ghostbusters cartoon.
This is art. I know some might point out anime but this takes the cake. The imagery, the colors, the designs, the architecture, the shadowing, the motion, etc. it’s like 😮
@@nicholashylton6857The propaganda was not lost on me. I watched as many of them as I could! However, some cable companies didn’t provide certain channels.

I love how epic the mythologies and storylines were. Glad that the writers (and pretty much everyone else involved) took the creating of these cartoon seriously and didn't settle for just making 30 minute toy commercials.
i see this as the pilot for another robot show/toy line that could make a cross over with transformers both shows have the same narrator and deal with humans so its not a stretch but tossing that aside i do miss this level of cartoon entertainment and its done right short and sweet with some wiggle room for more

I was given a robotix sticker when I was about 5, and was always intrigued by it but never knew where it came from. Mystery solved and most impressed, thanks for uploading!
Having some of the top 80s voices from back then absolutely made this cartoon stellar!! Having transformers, GI Joe and mask coming together this way was absolutely impeccable!
It is definitely interesting how so many 80s and cartoons had some of the same voice actors. This one, Transformers, GI Joe, Voltron, and even a few Disney cartoons Duck Tales, Winnie the Pooh, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck. This is one of those rare occasions I remember Peter Cullen voice a bad guy. The other few times when he voiced Venger in Dungeons and Dragons and when he voiced Shawn Berger in Transformers' second season and the Decepticon Slugslinger in the final three episodes of the original series.
I was 14 years old when this cartoon came out this is really classic watch it after all these years it would be great to do some kind of remake using CG animation
Wow this is a great find. I don't think I've even seen the series but when I remember a VHS movie of Robotix I used to rent from time to time when I was a kid. This is even better than I remember!
I remember the toys, even played with them.....no clue it was a cartoon too! First time ever hearing of this. All voices and sound effects are really familiar.
Actually, this is a lot like Rebirth / Headmasters in Transformers. And somehow Tyrannix sounds like Galvatron and Starscream combined. And the chubby guy is pretty much what I imagine Ironhide looking like as a human.
Ooh yeah! i remember this, watched it growing up when it ared, never recalled the name, or wondered what happend to it, after it stoped coming on TV, but man, this was / IS a fun show! thanks for uploading, nostalgia to the max! loved the looks of those robitix
wow its really bringing me back. i cant remember if ive ever seen this before but there are so many of the same sound effects, background music, voice actors, and even backdrops as transformers
Sunbow/Marvel produced this show originally for their Super Saturday/Super Sunday line up, that also included Inhumanoids, Jem and Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines in 1985 and yes the purpose was to help sell more Hasbro toys.
I watched the re-runs probably, but yeah I could still remember glimpse of this. The reason why I love robots and love to take them apart, breaking many of my toys when I was but a toddler.
Thanks for uploading this video. exactly 25 years ago that I last see this cartoon . And he does not remember his name . Just remember robots designs . Never forget . Greetings from Argentina.
So funny, nearly 40 years later, I still remember the theme song for this show. I forgot it existed, but as soon as I saw the video title, I immediately remembered hearing the intro as a kid.
Micheal Bell has done a immense amount of stuff. I don't know if you play games, but he does VOs for them too. Famously known for Raziel from Soul Reaver.
Wow! What a throwback! I remember this being on TV and having a few of the toys aswell. They were great, and I used to use them for my Star Wars and Action Force figures too. Happy days 1985/86 :-)
You said it James Best Jr.! I'm ecstatic I was an 80's kid! Our cartoons had innovation, uniqueness, and challenged a child's capacity of imagination. Quite advanced and ahead of their tome mant 80's cartoons were. Most of today's toons are brain dead, doofus, goofy humor, with poorly drawn animation. The VERY FEW good modern day cartoons get cancelled too quickly. So sad. :-(
finally I have found this gem!!! looked everywhere and couldn't find it nor did I remember what it was called! thanks for the awesome uploads and the childhood memories!
I had this toy set about a year before this cartoon was made. The early Robotix toys I had didn't have a storyline as a kid I just made stuff up. Sometimes they helped Autobots and sometimes they helped He-Man but they always used them to help out the good guys.
This show is 30 years old now, I used to watch it when I was 9 years old. Too bad they didn't make any new episodes. They had this cut down to under 10 minute parts because there were 2 other shows that came with it.
Loved watching this as a kid. Each Saturday morning was exciting when Robotix came on. I didn't even have the toys. The story premise was (is) really good. Even in 2022, it would be cool to redo this as a movie with modern computer animation, I think it would sell. The plot / idea is really good, and the direction this could go would be new and exciting.
I remember this being advertised at the start of a Go-Bots vhs tape I had back in the late 80s/early 90s. So glad someone took the time to upload it. RO-BOT-IX!
How could they have made more? They killed off all the antagonists in the pilot! This cartoon is infamous as the first (and AFAIR, only) programme to be cited by the censors for violence against ROBOTS.
Yeah, I remember trying to watch this cartoon through the static on channel 3 (we didn't have cable when I was a kid). I remember the snake with wheels, but could never, for the life of me, remember what this series was called. I'm excited to finally have an answer. Thanks for posting this.
There was an episode of G1 Transformers where the guy in his late teen years (can't remember his name but he was the son of the construction worker who regularly featured in the show) suffered a fatal injury, and the Autobots temporarly transfered his mind into a new experimental Autobot that was built out of spare parts. He flipped out at first and had a very hard time controling his emotions, being transfered into a robot body. He temporarly became a Decepticon when Megatron took advantage of his confused and frightened state of mind (I think they explained this as some sort of incompatability between the robot's brain and the human thoughtwaves imprinted on it), and convinced him that the Autobots were his enemy. He eventualy turned back to the side of good, his human body was healed, and his mind transfered back to it. That partucular episode was sad to the point of inducing tears, and fairly painful to watch. They went pretty dark and deep with it and it came at us as a bit of a surprise.
I had the Argus and Venturak toy sets as a kid. I used to build all sorts of things out of them. My parents never could afford the batteries to keep them going, lol.
I just saw this today. I have been a fan of transformers, voltron, and the lot for years, but never heard of this show. I was hooked within the first 5 minutes, and have been quite entertained. Imagine what they could have done with more time. I would have loved to see this flushed out, but it is pretty good even as it is. Even the names of the characters sound alien enough to be believable.
Whoa. Animation, sound effects, music, and voice acting, all from the same studio as Transformers and GI Joe. But it's a toy line by Milton Bradley. What a trip.

Probably how a certain funny voiced warlord got so many people to go to his massive parades/dance parties.
Haha, so true
ROBOTIX!!!!!!!
Transformer’s music. Transformer’s sound effects. Transformer’s voice actors. It’s weird hearing Cullen as the bad guy.
It definitely confused my son who i raise on transformers. If I had the money and resources I'd reanimate EVERY episode of G1 like this.
It took me 5 years to find this... I've had this on vhs and I had no idea what to search for. I serched like this: "80s cartoon two ships crashing frozen planet good vs evil robots transform with human pilots". I found noting untill today, my smile is from ear to ear

Josh Darnell OK then, but you see my point is that the majority of the characters didn't look like their cartoon counterparts. Venjurax for example was a space station kit or something like that.
+David315842 The borrowed music amongst these shows always intrigued me as a child. Thanks for the great info!
chinito77 Some production companies were able to re-use tracks by the same composer, another fine example is Shuki Levy who's music gets re-used a few times in Saban and DiC productions. You're welcome. :)
Nothing like the Marvel Sunbow cartoons in the 80's. They were all so awesome.
Funny: the leader of the bad guys is the voice actor as Optimus Prime, and the leader of the good guys is the same voice actor as Destro.
You are so right.
Isn’t juxtaposition wonderful? I admit it was a while before I realized the Protectons and the nemesi were actually A.I. mechanoids!
That because they did it for a paycheck.
wow thanks Captain Obvious. One never would have thought voice actors can get paid.... smh @@TheKrensada
And the show intro narrator is same narrator from Transformers.
When Terrax says "Time for a new leader!", that sounds EXACTLY like a Starscream line.
Sounds familiar.
@@luisquinones5159 automATICALLY BECAME my favorite charaxter
similar voice too
@@benvered6560 Pretty sure that was Chris Latta, the late, great voice of G1 Starscream.
Turns out I was wrong. Tyrannix was actually voiced by Frank Welker. Latta wasn't in this.
I found this at a flea market as a kid and watched it obsessively. Thank you for bringing back lots of childhood memories ❤️
Not the food!!!!

A truly 80´s gem ! Happy to see it again in all it glory !!

Seems like we couldn't go a week without some sort of alien invasion back then. The younger generations owe us for taking up arms so they could live this peaceful lifestyle.
Or is it? (cackles sininsterly)

They wanted to focus on transformers and GIJoe.
I had so many sets of these toys when I was a kid. One of my favorites.
ROBOTIX!!!!!!!
I watched Transformers and Go-Bots, and this is the "3rd one" I had very vague memories about and couldn't remember the title to.
This is like (The Real) Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters, the latter which was done by Filmation and confused a lot of kids of my generation, making us think they were some sort of farm team to the much more movie like Ghostbusters cartoon.
Back when American cartoons were good and entertaining. Damn I miss the 80s and 90s!
What was some of the other ones that copied Transformers? Wasn't there a Robotech? And few others?
Go-bots

Pretty sure these were made by an anime studio. I think Marvel only handled the storyboards.
Even though I remember these toys, I had NO idea that there was a cartoon to accompany the property. Glad I'm discovering it now!
me too!

+Sean Cwilich Yeah I remember Robotix, Bigfoot, and Jem.. Jem got her own show, the others didn't :(
Yeah, those were the other shows I remember. ;)
+Sean Cwilich The Robotix toys were way expensive for the time and were cancelled fast. I guess that's the reason the show was not renewed.
+Shawn Fields Inhumanoids ,my favorite, also made its debut on SUPER SATURDAY/SUNDAY as well.
Loved watching this as a kid. Each Saturday morning was exciting when Robotix came on. I didn't even have the toys. The story premise was (is) really good. Even in 2022, it would be cool to redo this as a movie with modern computer animation, I think it would sell. The plot / idea is really good, and the direction this could go would be new and exciting.
I agree.
This already looks better than any cgi, don't know why you'd want to ruin it
"Stop your knees knocking, so I can hear myself think" lol. Nice.
This would actually be a real problem if a metal robot's knees were knocking. Very loud indeed. Lol.
I remember this being advertised at the start of a Go-Bots vhs tape I had back in the late 80s/early 90s. So glad someone took the time to upload it. RO-BOT-IX!
How could they have made more? They killed off all the antagonists in the pilot!
This cartoon is infamous as the first (and AFAIR, only) programme to be cited by the censors for violence against ROBOTS.
0:26 you can hear some the Ghostbusters theme used in this being used, also there's alot the same voice actors as The Transformers had.
Yeah, I remember trying to watch this cartoon through the static on channel 3 (we didn't have cable when I was a kid). I remember the snake with wheels, but could never, for the life of me, remember what this series was called. I'm excited to finally have an answer. Thanks for posting this.
Omg, almost forgot this cartoon, thanks bringing back childhood memories
Saw this when it aired. Also had the Marvel comic.
"What happened to me!? I've become a Robotix!" Oh no! I'm now an awesome giant robot! That's so horrible. lol
There was an episode of G1 Transformers where the guy in his late teen years (can't remember his name but he was the son of the construction worker who regularly featured in the show) suffered a fatal injury, and the Autobots temporarly transfered his mind into a new experimental Autobot that was built out of spare parts. He flipped out at first and had a very hard time controling his emotions, being transfered into a robot body. He temporarly became a Decepticon when Megatron took advantage of his confused and frightened state of mind (I think they explained this as some sort of incompatability between the robot's brain and the human thoughtwaves imprinted on it), and convinced him that the Autobots were his enemy. He eventualy turned back to the side of good, his human body was healed, and his mind transfered back to it. That partucular episode was sad to the point of inducing tears, and fairly painful to watch. They went pretty dark and deep with it and it came at us as a bit of a surprise.
@@BingBreep-mk6om *"Autobot Spike",* was it?
I had the Argus and Venturak toy sets as a kid. I used to build all sorts of things out of them. My parents never could afford the batteries to keep them going, lol.
I just saw this today. I have been a fan of transformers, voltron, and the lot for years, but never heard of this show. I was hooked within the first 5 minutes, and have been quite entertained. Imagine what they could have done with more time. I would have loved to see this flushed out, but it is pretty good even as it is. Even the names of the characters sound alien enough to be believable.
When cartoons where made by people with real imaginations.
Interesting recycling of the classic Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers In the 25th Century sound FX.
ALOT of the show and story and fx and VA are recycled, but it is now part of transformers canon
Whoa. Animation, sound effects, music, and voice acting, all from the same studio as Transformers and GI Joe. But it's a toy line by Milton Bradley. What a trip.
I got nothing to do late at night, time to waste it watching old cartoons I just knew but never watched.
