@ I do have it on dvd….i guess I’m more so dwelling on what should have been or what could have been.

[@mauromesa78]

its too bad they did not ad this rare pilot promo broots as a special extra bonus feature on the complete series dvd set

[@Renserin]

I love seeing these old pilots, because it really shows how much a show can change, before it becomes the show everyone watched.

[@asbaran]

Hand drawn animation really holds up! This is still as amazing as it was back when I was a kid. Miss the old days.

[@ThePiquedPigeon]

It's like they cycled thru every possible iterations of the letters in "Robots" and eventually said "Orbots! That'll do!!"

[@JinzoCrash]

Okay. Now go watch the opening to Bionic Six. X D I loved these higher-quality cartoon openings, similar to Transformers SUDDEN jump in quality with the episode "Call of the Primitives".

3:03 Crunch from Mighty Orbots the metal muncher vs Shimazu Toyohisa the meat muncher

[@bvrbvt05]

Broots the metallic cousin of Groot. 😂

[@batangbatugan]

I'm glad we got Mighty Orbots instead of Mighty Broots, the original Bo and Boo faces were disturbing, not to mention them all being monochromatic is terrible design for any animated show.

[@stephenbyrne2170]

Why'd they call them broots?

[@TrackZero]

Japan trying to fit English into their language. It was actually meant as "Brutes".

[@JinzoCrash]

Also, an anagram of "robots". X D

[@trailersic]
