The Nacelle Company and Seven Bucks Productions are riding the wave of nostalgia for ’80s and ’90s cartoons with an original animated series. Consumers can watch RoboForce: The Animated Series in April to experience robots, action, and sci-fi adventures.
The animated original series takes inspiration from the nostalgic RoboForce toys consumers loved from the ’80s and continues the narrative of the original robot action figures. The show have six 30-minute episodes, premiering exclusively on Tubi.
“When we started working on RoboForce almost three years ago, it never dawned on me that we’d be able to partner up with the best-in-class companies like Tubi and people like Dwayne Johnson!” said Director Brian Volk-Weiss. “All of us have worked hard to make a show that the audience falls in love with, and as MAXX 89 says, ‘Let’s proceed!'”
Set in 2089 Detroit, Soraya Aviram’s RoboForce becomes obsolete after her rival, Silas Duke, reveals his line of Utopia Aegis 101 bots. When Duke’s robots turn on humanity, it’s up to RoboForce to step in and protect the world.
RoboForce: The Animated Series is written by Gavin Hignight, best known for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), Transformers Cyberverse, and Star Wars: Resistance. Volk-Weiss also serves as an executive producer alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Brian Gewirtz (Seven Bucks), as well as Cisco Henson, Matt Kravitsky, and Michael Goodman (Nacelle).
“I’m so excited for this series to be released on Tubi in April,” said Hiram Garcia, President of Production at Seven Bucks Productions. “We’re pleased to have another collaboration with Nacelle, resulting in a nostalgic yet fresh story about a group of funny, persevering robots with a second chance to achieve greatness and save the world. I was a fan of RoboForce as a child and look forward to captivating new and old fans alike while building upon the strong momentum of our animation division.”
