Robotboy

Now, I like sci-fi cartoons. However, when "Robotboy" appeared in Canada in late 2006, I watched the premiere and was inevitably appalled. The characters are generic and stereotypical (Do they REALLY need to make an African-American man wear tiger-stripe print clothing and speak in a Jamacian accent? WHY are all the Asian characters vibrant yellow and squinting? Does the mother HAVE to have big thighs and chest and constantly complain?) to the point where things become unrealistic, predictable, gross and sometimes disturbing. There are heavy similarities to, even stabs, at Astro Boy. Allow me to explain (dub names for the young): Robotboy/Astro, Kamikaze/Tenma, Constantine/Shadow, Gus/Abercrombie, Tommy/Alejo, Lola/Zoran+Kennedy, Moshimo/O'Shay, and it so on. Brief resemblances to "My Life As A Teenage Robot", "Star Wars", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Kamen Riders", "Sailor Moon" and co. are afoot. Not to mention the abundant racial/gender stereotyping. Don't even get me started on the innuendos. I'll just say they're hidden and quite dirty. But seriously. Don't even try watching this. Especially if you like Astro Boy.

I wish they can remade this show , now it will be a trully hit

I really liked this show as a kid. Growing up, I admittedly didn't watch it often but when I did I enjoyed it. I really did. A boy named Tommy takes care of a robot whom a doctor sent him to in hopes of keeping him out of the hands of a mad scientist. Helping him are his friends gus and some girl.

In addition to keeping the title character out of harms way, they also have to deal with everyday things such as school and stuff. The animation's very stylish. It has an Art Deco/Futuristic look that I like. The characters are ok. They basic but aside from his aren't really annoying.

The action's pretty cool. When Robotboy transforms, it's awesome! He enlarged twice his size to dish out necessary punishment to whatever foe(s) have wronged him or his friends. Robotboy was a pretty good show growing up. The story's were basic yet still enjoyable, the action was cool and the characters were decent.

I'd say check it out if you like robots and the future. Check it out and get ready for blast off.

Yes , it might not be as good as things like Regular Show , Teen Titans (2003) or Adventure Time , but it's decent.

First of all this Cartoon is not a rip off as some "people" have claimed it is funny, inventive and heartwarming at some points you really feel for robotboy when opportunity's for him to become a real boy pass him by... i must admit some of the characters can be a little ....Steriotyped but that is just all part of the fun there is also adult humour placed into episodes which really makes the cartoon just for teens on-word. robotboy itself (the character) can't take damage due to his armour being unbreakable which i think is a very cool feature for a Battle robot, after watching the whole series i recommend that only teens watch this cartoon so that the jokes can be noticed, unlike kids whom it is meant for, Overall this series is fantastic .... robotboy is possibly one of the best characters i have seen in a long time i will love to see the next series when it is released i highly recommend this cartoon.. but just for teens + It is so good i thank the creator for ....creating it

Thanks for reading.
