Tubi has slated the premiere of RoboForce: The Animated Series, from The Nacelle Company (The Toys That Made Us) and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions (Red One), for April.

The animated series’ narrative is inspired by the eponymous 1980s robot action figures. In the series, after Soraya Aviram’s RoboForce is made immediately obsolete by the arrival of Silas Duke’s Utopia Aegis 101 robots, they are forced into menial jobs for 15 years. When Duke’s robots turn on humanity, however, only the RoboForce can combat them.

RoboForce: The Animated Series is written by Gavin Hignight (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012, Transformers: Cyberverse) and Tom Stern (Freaked). It is directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, who also serves as executive producer alongside Cisco Henson, Matt Kravitsky and Michael Goodman for Nacelle and Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia and Brian Gewirtz for Seven Bucks Productions. It features music composed by Matt Margeson (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Rocketman) and Andrew Brick Johnson (Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures).

“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,” Volk-Weiss said. “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!’”

“I’m so excited for this series to be released on Tubi in April,” commented Hiram Garcia, president of production at Seven Bucks. “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.”
