	* ''Robotix'' was a property of the 1980s acquired by [[Hasbro]] following their purchase of [[Milton Bradley]] in 1984. A building toy with the gimmick of being able to construct your own "working," motorized robots. To maintain the successful weekend ratings generated by [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|Transformers]] as that show moved into weekday syndication for 1985, ''Robotix'' was one of the first shows to debut on [[Sunbow Productions\|Sunbow]]'s new ''Super Sunday'' cartoon anthology series. Unlike the previous use of the miniseries format to pilot shows, ''Robotix'' consisted of fifteen six-minute shorts. Initially airing two segments a week, alongside one segment of ''Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines''. ''Robotix'' would soon be joined by ''[[Jem]]'' and later, ''[[Inhumanoids]]''. Unlike the latter two, ''Robotix'' was not successful enough to warrant a full series. As with all ''Super Sunday'' pilots, the shorts were later collected ~~into~~ ''Robotix: The Movie''.
