    It's wild how people actually try to hate on this brilliant work. Modern animators are so jealous of this stuff that they can't even stand to bring it up in a conversation without spitting venom. Ironically this masterwork is what got THEM into animation. Although it is not often admitted it is understood that this era produced the GOLD STANDARD in animation. It touches people in a way no animation can rival. Not even close.

I've not stopped loving anime ever since. "Mighty Orbots" is a unique creation between American writers and Japanese anime artists.

The visuals were excellent & animesque seeing as how one of the production companies & main animation studio was TMS (In Japan).

    Maybe I was born to like certain Japanese goods? When I was watching G-Force (Lame Gatchaman translation) at age 11, my dad said it reminded him of how much he loved Godzilla films when he was 11.

    God how I love how excessively animated this whole sequence is, the moment each Orbot is revealed you can immediately tell their personalities, Thor is big and powerful and just smashes right out of the rocks, Bo and Boo are graceful and expressive the way they spin and loop in the air, Bort starts out as a plane and then transforms, and Crunch, well, he's in a space scrapyard, and look! He's still eating while he's flying off!

    • @cneterer

      The toy will NEVER happen. Besides Tonka threatening to sue over the Orbots name, the actual Orbots mecha was wholesale stolen from Godmars, a show TMS was hired to animate but didn't own. Nonetheless, they stole the design, made a few changes and used it again for Orbots. Bandai owned the toy rights to Godmars and was extremely unhappy with TMS about this. The actual IP owners of Godmars were livid. There was so much bad blood from this, the companies involved barely ever worked together again. They would have sued too except the lawsuit threat in the US, and poor ratings, took the show down anyway. Bandai is probably still angry about this 40 years later. TMS ripped them off. Not a surprise. They have a history of borrowing IP they don't own and daring anyone to stop them.

What I found interesting is that an obese robot and a skinny robot became blocky legs and the female ones became jointed blocky arms. Suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy this show and that I did growing up with this show. It may have lasted one season, but I have so many fond memories of this show. The song ROCKED!!!! The activation of the Orbots got you thrilled!!!! And just seeing them merge together got you pumped up as you knew they will save the day.

      Also was, I hate to point out, a blatant rip-off of a Japanese anime called "God Mars." If you search for images of the God Mars toys, they strongly resemble the Orbots with different heads and colors. The combined robot especially. In fact, a boxed set of the toys was repainted and sold in South Korea as the only MO toys to hit the market. The God Mars people had their own lawsuit, along with Tonka, which helped pull MO off the air in America.

    This animation is divine. It is too magical to exist in today's era of entertainment that is driven by low quality and degenerate standards. The aesthetics that exists in this show (and MOST 80's cartoons) was so highly creatively developed that these works represent a cultural miracle that cannot be duplicated, mainly because it is totally beyond the abilities of fully grasp. This was the closest thing tv came to art and pure animation. Tv for brilliant children and adults with imaginations.

    I remember September 1984 like it was yesterday. Looking at robot animation and transformation was unlike anything else everyday of the week except Sunday. Lol. Voltron, Transformers and this. Not many people talked about the Orbots then as they did Voltron, Gobots and Transformers but they probably did on Saturday morning. All the kids back then wanted to watch nothing but the cool serious looking stuff. The funny comedy stuff like Rocky and Bulwinkle on Saturday morning just prepped us for the stuff that started at 8am until 12 noon. After that, the day just got boring and it was time to clean up or go outside or to the mall. 🤣🤣

      I have an unofficial copy I got at a 'con. Unfortunately the quality looks like it was ripped from youtube. Agreed, they really need to do a good release. I have a suspicion it's a rights issue- the same reason it went off the air in the 80s.
