Japanese/American animated series about a group of 5 robots (Bo, Boo, Tor, Crunch and Bort) invented by a young Rob Simmons, member of the Galactic Patrol. Set out to defeat the evil Umbra (evil planet-sized bio-mechanical computer) of S.H.A.D.O.W., bent on controlling the universe.
I loved this show as a kid! Although it only lasted for one season mainly due to a lawsuit from the makers of Go Bots (not really sure why because the Orbots didn't even remotely resemble Go Bots), it remains one of my favorite shows from the 80's.
And it had a kick-ass theme song.
