The classic 1980s Robo Force toy line has inspired an animated project, and The Nacelle Company has given it a straight-to-series order. The Nacelle Company bought the right to the toy line and is in the process of reviving it. They are the studio behind The Toys That Made Us, Kevin Hart’s Guide to Black History, 2019’s Mad About You reboot, Icons Unearthed and Behind the Attraction, and they are self-financing the series.
Tom Stern (Spongebob Squarepants) and Gavin Hignight (Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy) are set to write and produce the series and they will also act as showrunners, and it will be directed by Brian Volk-Weiss.
Volk-Weiss, who is also the CEO and founder of Nacelle Company shared in a statement: “I didn’t think anything would be more surreal than selling thousands of Maxx 89 and Wrecker figures, but making an animated series come to life takes the suction cup-covered cake… and yes, we will be revealing why Wrecker comes with red roses!”
The show will debut on multiple streaming platforms simultaneously through Nacelle’s hybrid distribution system which consists of dozens of platforms. The first season is set to have six, twenty-two-minute episodes.
Here’s the description of the toy line:
It was the dusk of the 89th era of VvanderLoc’s family rule of Planet Vvram, and all across the world one word was on the top of everyone’s mind; crime. Designed by one of the oldest and most respected engineering firms, ROBO FORCE was created, from scratch, to replace the aging CHU series of R-RAN “Crime Stoppers”. From their auto-hold suction feet to their cutting-edge prioritization and empathy system code, ROBO FORCE was announced at a gigantic press conference on the first Tuesday of the new year.
For 48 hours Maxx 89, ROBO FORCE’s ultimate leader, was the talk of every Vvram citizen, near and far. Then came Thursday. On that dark day a rival engineering firm announced their newest R-RAN CS product; the UTOPIA101 line. Faster, smarter, stronger, and cooler than Maxx and his team, ROBO FORCE was instantly relegated to desk duty and traffic jobs (if not worse). Denied respect and opportunity, ROBO FORCE was challenged from day one – actually day 3 – to climb out of the garbage bin of history to get back to where they were supposed to be; respected and saluted.
Reignite your love for these robotic heroes as Maxx 89 and Wrecker rise up to reclaim their place as protectors of a society that needs them more than ever. Returning as part of the Very Important Toy line from The Nacelle Company, these 7.5 inch tall, fully articulated, deluxe action figures are packaged in their own collector-friendly, Graphine - inspired window-boxes and are sure to turn your childhood memories of Robo Force into all-new, out of this world adventures!
The release of the new 7.5-inch Robo Force action figures, featuring Maxx 89 and Wrecker, will come in the third week of December. The release of the aforementioned Robo Force series is part of Nacelle’s larger plan to re-introduce the Robo Force brand to a wider audience.
