- Robotix was created by Learning Curve and produced by Milton Bradley from 1985 to 2002 and later was temporarily sold by Radio Shack. Recently they were making new ones under the site Robotix and Things, but that went out of business in 2019. Now you can buy new sets from roboticrice.co... as the new official owners of the company!!! Join the Revive Great Lost Media Discord! / discord
This commercial had a great musical hook. Still remember it after all these years.
I think it's simular to Ghostbusters
Who are you going to call? ROBOTIX!!!!!
I Combined both lyrics to Robotix into one if you can look at it!
That commercial has stuck in my head all these years lol.
At the 0:52 and 1:22 mark, that's the voice of 1980's Transformers narrator Victor Caroli.
Roger c. Carmel Doing the singing/lyrics for the commercial, with Victor Caroli Providing narration
You mean rapping?!
My younger brother just sent me this video and I’m cracking up! We used to laugh at that robot voice that says “Robotix” when we were under, I think 10 years old!! I still remember laughing at this with him! Thx for the nostalgia!! 😁😆😂👍🏻✌️
not even my favorite 1980s cartoon, but this still brings back nice memories, i was 7 in 1985 when this started.
I remember it was so difficult to disconnect some of the pieces from each other -- it would make my fingers hurt because of the jagged pieces you needed to grip really hard to pull them apart.
Yep some of mine were so stuck together. I just left them stuck. Everything I made always had that one piece that was always out of place
super cool i had this toy back in the 80's and have not seen dis commercials in years they are a treasure of my child hood thank you
Awesome! They are one of the best toy lines I've ever found.

Robotix fully length main theme lyrics written by Ford and Kinder and combined them by Vaughn S. Baskin: "Who puts the future in your hands?" "Robotix! (ROBOTIX!)" "Your own creation to command?" "Robotix! (ROBOTIX!)" "Who lets to use imagination to make any configuration? Who let you build fighting creatures, WILDER THAN A MOVIE FEATURE?!" "ROBOTIX!" "Robotix!" "YOU CREATE THEM IS TO CONTROL THEM!" "Who puts the future in your hands?" "Robotix! (ROBOTIX!)" "Your own robots at your demand?" "Robotix! (ROBOTIX!)" "Who gives you robots to command?" "Robotix! (ROBOTIX!)"
This Toy Still Exists Today but Owned by another company.
That's fascinating actually, I wonder what they're doing now
I built so many gadgets with those.
This toy should make a comeback
So how come they never made sets of the other characters from the cartoon like Nemesis or Nara?
The creators had damaged intelligence chips.
Those sets were prototyped, and artwork was illustrated for packaging, but the animated cartoon never took off. The line was rebranded as “learning toys.”
The first narrator sounds like the guy who played Lt. Traxler in The Terminator. Paul Winfield.
I still have a few of these in a container somewhere.
I never knew the intro music of the cartoon had a longer version in the commercials, a wow moment after 35+ years!
Pretty cool right? I love this series, but unfortunately most of the plastic in them needs to stay put together now, time has not been nice to these toys.
@@DragonClaw-eg6nj I never had a Robotix toy, so I couldn't comment on this, but I remember them in toy stores. I always was disappointed they didn't match the cartoon much.
@@babbelballetje Ya, but Argus feels really cool in person, but unfortunately, have to be super careful of it to prevent cracking.
They probably didn't think someone would play with it decades later:)
@@babbelballetje Ya, but typical of me, I thought almost everything coming out now looked dull compared to cool vintage stuff, and since I loved the show I felt I had to get one, and I do have a few motors hooked up, so it is really cool to at least get to see one of these in action! I won the ebay bid for Argus at like 1 cent, not even joking, it was 15 dollars shipping, but it was kinda hilarious that I found it that cheap and got to at least experience something cool and vintage for less than a few hundred or thousand dollars, really though, most stuff I like has ridiculous prices now.
Still have a brand new set of these..
I remember these Robotix commercials,back in the day.I might have seen these Robotix sets @ Toys R Us or Kay bee Toys,but was more into G1 Transformers and Gobots back then.
the animated special is on dvd but in the uk region 2 i hope when it comes to dvd in the us region 1 it will have as bones features this classic commercials
Protectons and terrorcores each join forces with human beings
Who puts the Future in your hands!?
Robotix! Robotix!
@@MightyGalvatron your own creation to command
@@reubenguttenberg7405 Robotix! Robotix!
....and notice the mock-up Marvel comic at 2:17, no barcode, so you can see more art
They appeared first in 1984, not 1985.
Anyone here know how to prevent cracking in these sets? Like is there some kind of fluid that you can apply to prevent damage? I have Argus, but he is only put together enough to resemble his show appearance because the plastic started to crack and I wanted to make sure it didn't get ruined.
The plastic was never any good. They all crack and it only gets worse with age. I've heard someone call it bad plasticizer content in the plastic they were made of. The newer stuff made after 1998 is ok.
What setup did you use to convert VHS to digital?
Actually, these are other people's videos, I just downloaded them and compiled them for documentation. I do however have a VHS to MP4 device. I would have to bring out junk from an old PC to re-find out what the name of it was though. I remember it was a disc with a program and it had the yellow and white plugs that ended in a USB port, so what was on the VHS got recorded from the VHS player to the computer.

Good vs evil
Why would anybody in their right mind buy these instead of transformers ???
Well, I did at first, my first experiences with Transformers was the live action movies other than one early toy I had since childhood. The movies didn't really do it for me, I liked the games based off of them and the toys, but they were a struggle to transform and felt cheap enough to easily break. I saw the Robotix animated movie and loved it and I was more of a builder because I liked Bionicle first, but also the motorized parts made Robotix seem cooler in some ways to other toys like that. I also loved how a lot of them were based off of reptiles like snakes and dinosaurs (my favorite kinds of creatures) and in my case it just took a long time to finally see the g1 Transformers, when I did, my first ones were Grimlock and Tryptocon. I didn't initially realize it also had reptile characters.
Toys like these were great because you could build whatever you wanted with them. Transformers cartoons were great, but the toys were just so-so. I had a few, the only one I really liked was Soundwave and his "cassette tape" robots that he could eject out of him.
