Mighty Orbots
One of the few U.S.-Japanese co-productions, this series lasted only a single season due to the huge success of "Transformers."
Along with "Galaxy High School," also by the same team, this was part of an effort by TMS to break into the American market with the help of producer Fred Silverman.
