Milton Bradley (now part of Hasbro) produced the Robotix toy line in the mid-80's. Since then, the company, of course, was absorbed by Hasbro, which has, in turn, integrated the Robotix into its Transformers universe.
In 1985, Robotix was adapted for television by Marvel & Sunbow for the syndicated Super Sunday (or Super Saturday) block, which was a 90 minute package also including Jem (previously reviewed) and Bigfoot & The Monster Machines. Of these, Jem was the only survivor, as the others were cancelled after 1 season.
Let's take a look at the opener. The intro, narrated by Victor Caroli, has a familiar theme to it.
The toyetic toon glut of the 80's is partially responsible for this being a 1-season wonder.
Rating: B.
