'''''Cubix: Robots For Everyone''''' (2001) was a short-lived Korean [[All CGI Cartoon]], set [[Expository Theme Tune|in a future not so far away]] where robots capable of emotions and independent thought are commonplace. The plot revolves around a boy named Connor and his robot Cubix, a [[Super Prototype]] made of modular blocks who can transform into any number of useful forms. Along with his friends from the local robot repair shop (the "Botties"), Connor and Cubix battle the evil Dr. K as he tries to collect a mysterious substance called Solex that's causing robots to go berserk.
The series was licensed and dubbed by [[4Kids! Entertainment]]. You can watch it on [http://www.youtube.com/show/cubixrobotsforeveryone YouTube] or every Saturday morning on [[The CW]]'s Toonzai block.
{{tropelist}}
* [[The Ahnold]]: Maximix.▼
* [[The Man Behind the Man|The Alien Behind The Man]]: In the first season, Dr. K was working along with an alien creature to gather the Solex for their plan.▼
* [[A Boy and His X]]: A boy and his multi-colored shapeshifting super-powered [[Robot Buddy]].▼
** In season two, it was [[Inverted Trope|inverted]] into The Robot In Front Of The Man when Kilobot, who looked like at first he was obeying Dr. K's orders, [[The Starscream|turned out to have his own plans]] and in the end, double crossed Dr. K and nearly lead an army of robots in the conquest of the world.▼
* [[Awesome By Analysis]]: Cerebrix has no offensive capabilities, but, as his name suggests, he is essentially a brain on legs. He can hack and/or analyze just about anything and can replicate any frequency he comes across, allowing him to jam the enemies' weapons while the others do the hitting.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Abby.
▲* [[A Boy and His X]]: A boy and his multi-colored shapeshifting super-powered [[Robot Buddy]].
* [[British Accents]]: Kan-it speaks with... some form of British accent.
* [[Chest Blaster]]: Cubix combines this with a [[Battle Aura]] to push enemies off of him. Kolossal has a solar cannon he only uses once. {{spoiler|Kulminator has two: a Gatling-like beam and a Solex-powered [[Disintegrator Ray]].}}
Line 49 ⟶ 51:
* [[Open Says Me]]: Kilobot (disgused as Maximix)
{{quote|'''Kilobot''':"Standing by, NOT"}}
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Cubix runs off of this, and it brings him back to life. {{spoiler|Especially on more than one occasion.}}▼
* [[The Reveal]]: It turned out that Raska, the attractive model who was the spokesperson for RobixCorp {{spoiler|was actually the alien creature who was working with Dr. K in disguise}}.▼
* [[Robot Buddy]]: "Robots for Everyone" ''is'' the show's tagline, and also the in-world tagline of RobixCorp, which offers hundreds of models from pet-like companions to kitchen assistants to construction bots.
* [[Robot Master]]: Nearly every human in the show except Connor's dad.
Line 55 ⟶ 59:
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: Throughout the first season, Cubix spoke like a parrot, repeating whatever words he heard his friends say. In the season finale, after being brought back to life after his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Bubble Town from the Kulminator, he gains the ability to speak his own words.
* [[Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids]]: Solex makes the infected robots gain powers that seem rather implausible.
▲* [[The Ahnold]]: Maximix.
▲* [[The Man Behind the Man|The Alien Behind The Man]]: In the first season, Dr. K was working along with an alien creature to gather the Solex for their plan.
▲** In season two, it was [[Inverted Trope|inverted]] into The Robot In Front Of The Man when Kilobot, who looked like at first he was obeying Dr. K's orders, [[The Starscream|turned out to have his own plans]] and in the end, double crossed Dr. K and nearly lead an army of robots in the conquest of the world.
▲* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Cubix runs off of this, and it brings him back to life. {{spoiler|Especially on more than one occasion.}}
▲* [[The Reveal]]: It turned out that Raska, the attractive model who was the spokesperson for RobixCorp {{spoiler|was actually the alien creature who was working with Dr. K in disguise}}.
* [[The Virus]]: This was how Kilobot's Zombot army worked. They would touch a robot and drain them of their EPU energy, turning them into Zombots as well, then the new Zombots would repeat the process.▼
* [[Theme Naming]]: RobixCorp robots usually have "ix" somewhere in their names.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Krab hoists an energy-equivalent weapon, and Cubix sports a [[Drill Tank]] mode.
Line 70 ⟶ 68:
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: "In the future, not so far away..."
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: After Cubix and the gang foil Kilobot's plans, he becomes enraged and attempts to wipe Cubix out by crushing his EPU with his bare hands.
▲* [[The Virus]]: This was how Kilobot's Zombot army worked. They would touch a robot and drain them of their EPU energy, turning them into Zombots as well, then the new Zombots would repeat the process.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Many robots in the show are capable of this, including Cubix.
* [[X-Ray Sparks]]: The manner in which Dr. K creates Kilobot, much like [[Frankenstein's Monster|a certain other monster]].
