was very brutal . The animators must have figured that, hey, these are robots so
we'll be as mean as we want to them. Even shows like Transformers balked at
showing too much violence done to their metallic heroes. Not so with Robotix:

swings a huge pipe
at another robot's back, it connects. Legs, arms, and heads are ripped off,
faces are slammed into the dirt. Startlingly, most of this violence is done to
the protagonists. The
villains
constantly get the better of the heroes and deal out vicious poundings -- even
to the "female" robot. Perhaps more startlingly, the violence is dished out in
fair portions to the humans. Not even the little boy, Zaru, is safe. In one
scene, he is quite harshly knocked aside by the leader of the evil robots. In a
later scene, the leader of the good robots slams one bad guy
human into a wall with great
force, apparently killing him. My favorite scene involves the leaders of the
rival human forces, Exedore and Kanawk, the "hero" and the "villain"
respectively. They are in a ship which has lost atmosphere. Kanawk shatters the
hatch of Exedore's capsule to suffocate him. So Exedore pulls out a gun and
blasts the hatch off of Kanawk's capsule! For a cartoon "hero" in 1985 that's
quite a thing to do! All in 
all,
it has its flaws but it is surprisingly well-made for a cartoon based on an
unpopular and widely unknown toy.
