The Bots Master (1993-1994) was an early 1990s French/American/Canadian animated sci-fi/action series created by Jean Chalopin and Avi Arad set in the year 2025 about a guy that creates a multitude of robots, each with their own distinct personality and appearance, skills, and uses them as his team to take on the evil corporation he used to work for.This show focused on the exploits of Ziv Zulander (no, the name was not coined by Ben Stiller) and his sister Blitzy. Ziv works for the RM Corporation, run by Sir Lewis Leon Paradim. It was responsible for all the technological robotic advancements of that time, partly thanks to Ziv's inventive streak. Life was good for the two siblings, however LLP, as he was referred to, decided that being the owner of the wealthiest conglomerate in existence just wasn't enough, and that ruling the planet was much more in line with what he wanted. He decides to utilize the robotic creations sold by the company to secretly lay the foundations for a coup d'état of the world, and wants everyone in the company on the team. Ziv is obviously shocked at this, and wants no part in it. This in turn makes him the prime enemy of the entire Corp, and he goes on the lam with his sister, converts his family's old fallout shelter into a secret base, and retools his own group of robots, known as the BOYZZ, to assist in the battle to save the world from RM Corp's sinister schemes.Notable for being one of the few western shows about mecha not coming from Japan.note Though it was still animated there anyways. The show was really intended to be Merchandise-Driven due to its 3-D gimmick. During each episode's big action scene, someone would shout "Laser Time!" cuing the viewer to put on 3-D glasses that you could only get by buying one of the toys. However the toyline failed and became one of the reasons the series didn't last longer.The rights to the show have been owned by Disney, out of all people, since 2001.

Badass Adorable: Swang. She took down a small army of greenbots, securitybots, and TANKS, BY HERSELF. And all she did was hop around taking spy pictures. Either that or those bots just suck really bad to be taken down by one robotic hopping bug that didn't even lay a finger on them. Same with Birden, who caused a small bot army to accidentally destroy each other AND a world leader's private plane simply by flying around haphazardly.

Brainwashed and Crazy: RM Corp is offering free processor upgrades to all owners of the Triple-A bot models without telling their customers that the upgrade will push their bots into this trope as part of their Take Over the World scheme. It's kind of surprising that no one seems to be alerting the media about this since the crazy behavior starts immediately after every individual upgrade rather than waiting for all Triple-As worldwide to be upgraded and activating them all at once.

Genetic Memory: It's implied that the secret behind many of the BOYZZ's skills is scanning the DNA/memories of talented individuals, as Ninjzz's ninjutsu prowess was given to him via a DNA scan of a great ninja warriornote Though somehow, they were able to get this DNA through a hologram at a museum. Battz in particular has the skills of numerous famous baseball players.

Logic Bomb: Done rather humorously. Dr. Hisss ordered all his bots to fire at Jungle Fiver while commanding the others to aim at ZZ and the others and wait for his command. Ninjzz hits Dr. Hisss with a sleeper device, putting him to sleep. Jungle Fiver leaves, but the bots ordered to shoot at it was not shooting at an unpresent target while the bots aiming at ZZ and the BOYZZ on the ground just stood there awaiting commands which won't come on account of Hisss being asleep. ZZ and the BOYZZ simply walked out of the battlezone unscathed.

Rank Scales with Asskicking: LLP may be an Orcus on His Throne for most of the series, but when he steps into battle personally, he is a surprisingly dangerous opponent. Case in point, LLP takes on Ninjzz, the one BOYZZ who was designed specifically for combat (and is, you know, a robot while LLP is a mere human), and soundly defeats him in a brutal Curb-Stomp Battle.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Genesix tends to be kind of self-centered and is easily peeved, but he does genuinely want to help people with his inventions. This comes back to bite him in the butt later when he accidentally uses a device which splits the good side and the evil side of a person note Or Boyzz..His evil side is surprisingly strong and even poses a threat to ZZ and his Boyzz by trying to sell them out to the Corp.

comment
Would Hurt a Child: The Corp set a trap for ZZ and the BOYZZ, feeding false information of creating a krang ore refining accelerator in a certain building, which prompts ZZ to launch an all-out attack on said building. What the Corp REALLY does is set up a class of elementary school students and their teacher there in the building in order to trick ZZ into unknowingly killing them. All just to frame him and further convince the world he is a heartless terrorist. Unfortunately for them, ZZ is very cautious about his attacks and makes sure the building has what it's supposed to have before blowing it up. He was naturally disgusted when he found out about the trap, that the Corp was willing to have a bunch of kids killed just to paint ZZ as a villain.

Butt-Monkey: D'Nerd not only gets captured and prominently tortured in one episode (something that doesn't happen to the other Boyzz), he also gets ignored and bullied by his fellow Boyzz and ZZ, including Watzon and Genesix using him for an experiment and ZZ ignoring his cries for help when he tries to escape the two, and a scene where the Sport Boyzz seem to be throwing one of his books around. It's also unclear if D'Nerd simply can't help stating the dictionary definition of words, which is the reason people find him annoying - a glance into his mind in one of said experiments revealed his entire programming is like that. Genesix especially seems to dislike him, hell, their entire sequence in the opening together has Genesix pushing a confused D'Nerd out of the way.

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: In "Block 93" we are introduced to RM Corp's Humabot Lab, where volunteer humans are granted implants due to the person's obsession with becoming stronger. Body Horror is in full effect, one Humabot has an empty space between her pelvis and lower chest due to having a robotic lower half. Another cyborg has an exposed brain covered by a dome. For a kids show, these cyborgs look like they are out of a story from a dark Cyberpunk story rather than an action show targeted towards kids. Dr. Hiss himself technically fits the definition of a Humabot, though the reason for his implants is not made known. In "Block 93," it is made clear by Hiss that the Humabot Lab may also serve as a way to dispose of undesirables or enemies of RM Corp.

It isn't lost on the bots: in one episode, they kidnap her while she's sleeping because they think she'd make the perfect birthday present (he's mortified when he finds out, and she never wakes up to discover what happened).

Cool Car: ZZ has one that can sprout wings and fly, or transform into a humanoid form. It consists of two parts - the car itself, and Twig, a large humanoid Boyzz who combines with it and provides the mind to drive/fly/move it. Let's also not forget Splitvan, which is several vehicles in one.

Sibling Yin-Yang: Ziv and Blitzy, naturally. They agree on the goal (stop LLP and co.), but generally take different steps towards it. ZZ prefers surgical strikes as part of a guerrilla war (less chance of civilian deaths/injuries); Blitzy leans towards full assaults and a hot war (it'll end sooner that way).

Three-Dimensional Episode: Each episode had a short action sequence (almost always a laser shoot-out with the RM Corp bots) with motion designed for Pulfrich Effect-style glasses (ie, one darkened lens), announced by ZZ shouting "it's laser time!" Thankfully they never lasted long and nothing really pivotal happened during them. Also, the sequences were in normal color and a single image.

Depth Deception

comment
Depth Deception: The 3D effect is driven by the Pulfrich effect. When viewing footage with elements horizontally moving while one eye is behind a dark lens, the eye that's covered lags a bit in its perception. This gives enough of a perspective shift that the brain thinks its seeing 3D.

Also played with, as there aren't many laser weapons amongst the Boyzz Brigade, who generally rely on either melee combat (Ninjzz, Street Boyzz) or indirect fire (the Sports Boyzz, themselves very accurate with their own sports-themed weapons - which mostly act like explosives rather than projectiles).

Distinctive Appearances: The show is made of it - the Boyzz particularly are designed asymmetrically (with the exception of Batz and All Ball), and can be recognized from their silhouettes. Conversely, while the Boyzz are painted in such a way as to imply that they were built out of spare parts, there's not much explanation or reason (other than this trope) for the RM 'bots to have the varying, often jarring color schemes they do.

Ridiculously Human Robots
 The Bots Master / int_e4900915
comment
Ridiculously Human Robots: The Boyzz are very obviously mechanical, but have wildly differing personalities whilst displaying self-initiative and emotions (and, in at least one case, amnesia). The 3M-produced robots avert this most of the time, uniformly speaking with a "Steven Hawkings-voice" and demonstrating no personalities or sentience: one of the RM Corp's goals is figuring out how Ziv made his robots so human. One episode revolved around ZZ trying to sell the secret to a rival of RM Corp, who was The Mole. In another sub-type of this trope, there are at least two episodes with robotic body doubles of main characters used by the RM Corp. Even then, however, they lack the level of personality or inflection of the real deals.

Expy: Admit it, LLP really stands for Lex Luthor Pastiche. There's also Jungle Fiver, which is a group of 5 giant robots that can combine to form one big robot. Hmm... Megazord, much?

Exact Words: D'Nerd - in SPADES. Ask an innocent question and he might respond with a dictionary or encyclopedic definition, even if the question wasn't directed at him. This is also the main problem for every bot that's not a BOYZZ as they take orders right to the letter.

Pretty Fly for a White Guy
 The Bots Master / int_eb6912
comment
Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Hoo boy. Ziv is obviously hit with this pretty hard, considering that the Boyzz are all his inventions. The black street culture vibe starts with the name (they're "his Boyzz, yo"), and just takes off from there. The whole series was clearly going for some form of this, from the rap theme tune to the way the characters talk.

Take Over the World: It's what the RM Corp wants to do. In particular, Paradim's plan involves becoming a legitimate political figure as World President, which the Corp tries to accomplish via illegitimate means, such as rigging the polls or taking out LLP's political rivals.
