The six episode animated series, produced by Dwayne Johnson, Brian Volk-Weiss, and Dany Garcia, tells the story of a team of robots, rendered obsolete by the superior Utopia Aegis 101s, who must save humanity when their nemesis gets hacked
The Nacelle Company (The Toys/Movies That Made Us, Biker Mice from Mars) is excited to announce the premiere of RoboForce: The Animated Series. The six episode animated series is free to stream exclusively on Tubi, and is executive produced by Dany Garcia, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Brian Gewirtz, and Brian Volk-Weiss, who also directed the series.
Based on the nostalgic toys of the 1980s, RoboForce: The Animated Series launches the NacelleVerse. In 2089 Detroit, Soraya Aviram’s RoboForce debuted with plans to assist a new intergalactic society on Earth. Unfortunately, the same day as the announcement, Soraya’s rival, Silas Duke, revealed his new Utopia Aegis 101 line of bots, which made RoboForce immediately obsolete. RoboForce split up and was forced into menial jobs for 15 years without hope of ever being heroes… Until suddenly, the Utopia Aegis 101’s turn on humanity and no one else besides RoboForce can stop them.
RoboForce: The Animated Series is produced for Tubi by The Nacelle Company and Seven Bucks Productions. The series is directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, who also serves as executive producer alongside Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Brian Gewirtz for Seven Bucks Productions, as well as Cisco Henson, Matt Kravitsky, and Michael Goodman for Nacelle. The series was written by Gavin Hignight (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012, Transformers: Cyberverse, Star Wars: Resistance) and Tom Stern (Freaked). Music was composed by Matt Margeson (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Rocketman) and Andrew Brick Johnson (Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures). Cartoon Conrad (Cartoon Network’s Teen Titans Go, Netflix’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie) served as the lead animation studio for the series.
The NacelleVerse is an interconnected universe of animated shows and comics that feature RoboForce, Biker Mice from Mars, Sectaurs, Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa, The Great Garloo and Power Lords interacting in one shared universe. The first installment in the NacelleVerse is RoboForce: The Animated Series, which is directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, who also serves as Executive Producer alongside Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia. NacelleVerse toys, comics and other merchandise can be purchased at Nacellestore.com.

“We’ve spent over a quarter of a century building a company that can make shows like RoboForce, and we are very grateful to everybody who watched, everybody who’s reached out to us, The Rock and Dany Garcia’s support, as well as Tubi’s incredible team and platform,” said Brian Volk-Weiss.
“I’ve been a fan of RoboForce since I was a kid, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this project breathing new life into this lovable group of robots,” said Hiram Garcia. “Nacelle has been a great partner and we’re thrilled to team back up with Brian and his team as they work to continue bringing iconic properties to the screen. Today’s premiere is an exciting addition to Seven Bucks’ growing animation division — one that we hope will captivate new and old fans everywhere with a compelling take on the awesome world of RoboForce.”
