Robostory: Echowar (Part 1)

[livnastro]

This aired in Victoria Australia in 1986. Never seen it since thought I may have drempt it....

[ASTROBOYFAN2000]

is there anyway to buy this series on dvd or something?

[raffiquk]

I remember this: Once again, you are lowest of the low!!

Around the same time this was running, there was an animated violin orchestra tune that also appeared on TV. Any idea what that was called?

[Montork]

was this ever on dvd?

i want to buy it.

[colin5524]

Remeber this to from when i was a kid was trying to find it for my kids, thank you!!!!!!

[jakeeaton1979]

i was sure that the robots on robostory chanted "...nuts and bolts, bolts, bolts: bolts and nuts, nuts, nuts..." but ive been trawling through these episodes and can't find it.

was it actually in robostory or something else?

[SardaukarPrime]

A Canadian friend of mine got me the whole series in French. This English dub sounds kinda weird.

[Montork]

@SardaukarPrime holey crap really? i live in canada and never saw this until 2009.. but i don't live in the french Provence.

[GTAMPdotcom]

I used to watch this on ABC in Australia as a kid. I completely forgot the name of the show but I found it by searching for "always remember you are the lowest of the low". A great message for a kid to have burnt into his brain :)

[MrROLY1973]

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh !!! Robostory I used to watch this in the summer holidays when I was akid am the only one who can remember it out of mayed oh maybe coot can remember it ! Anyway loved Robostory as a kid it was ace

[NoGufff]

Those dozen or so notes from 1:19 to 1:23 have been etched in my memory for the past 25+ years. This brings back so many memories. I've tried to find this cartoon before, but didn't know what it was called.

Thanks for posting :)

[th3fr4gil3]

man this brings back great memories

[Montork]

i love robostory so fircking much! its the simplicity and charming charictures that make it so fantastic.

[ManuFerrara]

Hard to find ! true !

[zom8135]

I'm not having kids until they start making cartoons like this again!

[predacane]

Hahaha, it takes youtube to show me the cartoon I've been hunting for for years. Back in the day you grew up on this stuff. I found the name out about a year ago, it never occurred to me to look on youtube.

[shuban]

All I remember was the thing being called the lowest of the low

[Fidog76]

Oh my god I've been trying to find this cartoon for ages. Me and my bro's used to watch it all the time when we were kids. Love white wriggler. hehe Forgot the name of it was Robo Story thought it was White Wriggler or something like that.

[JamieAnTheMagicTorch]

i love this cartoon,

no one else has ever heard of it

[shriggles]

Fantastic! Been hunting for this for like 20 years! Only me and my sister seemed to heard io it! The 80s rock! Good job!

[squiggiles]

I have searching for this for years!!!!!!!! im 30 now people thought i was mad and it never existed !

[pr0nw]

Wow, Ive been searching for weeks for this cartoon. Relive some ol' times. Awesome.

[JebusJones]

I've been trying to find videos or DVDs of this show for YEARS!!! It was only screened once in Australia and I absolutely adored it as a kid.

[muppetspuppets]

I wonder if they would say this is racist today. I use to love this show though

[muppetspuppets]

I use to watch this when I was 11 !

[METAL1ON]

why said that you? not know i!

[faithdimension]

Hey thanks for posting - I absolutely loved this cartoon series in the 80s! Can't wait to watch all this stuff on here! Respect!

[ashjjj]

WOOWOO! More new Robostory!

Go videofroggy!

[videofroggy]

Hello there - just thought everyone would like to know that I'm currently posting a bunch of Robostory episodes to my account. I have two up so far, I should have about seven more up by the end of the week.

[mistergeneration]

I vaguely remember the episode where that guy becomes lower than the lowest of the low and turns his colour from black to white,.lol... This used to come on back to back with Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors on ITV in the early 80's,...Cheers for the upload!!!

[BVargas78]

I've been searching for this for ages, i couldnt remember what it was called! There was a really cool episode with a big battle in it.

[the1artful1dodger]

Just to joining the masses. I agree. Best find on the web for years! I tried to look this up about 3 years ago and could only find a dead thread talking about 'the lowest of the low'. I too used to watch this all the time as a kid and my oldest sister always called me "the lowest of the low" for years. Awesome! Thank you so much for posting this. Watching this has started my day the old school way :) Does anyone know the process for trying to get old shows released on DVD?

[JoeScaramanga]

Thank you so much for this!

Just like everyone else, I watched this as a kid but could never remember what it was called.

I remember it being quite dark for a kids TV show.

And what a fab theme. Sounds like John Barry!

[BanjoOz]

i would LOVE to see this show again! It took me ages just to find the name (even though I vividly remembered many moments from this, such as the White "lowest of the low" Wriggler with his little choo-choo train, the old robot's secret, etc). Great to hear the theme again! Thanks!

[Montork]

@BanjoOz he had a choo-choo train? OH MY GOD THAT'S SO CUTE!!

[BackTooThe80s]

thanks for posting these

[laklaka]

So I was not crazy. Needless to say for how long I have been looking for this cartoon. Strangely I never forgot the music but the rest was so vague that I was never sure about it even when I found some pictures on the net. That was until I found this post. Thanks so much.

[Cassie1736]

Mate. You have no idea how long the title of this cartoon has escaped me. Like everyone else I have always drawn blank looks when trying to find out anything about it. Long lost days of watching this show while eating brekky before school came flooding back. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[sithsmith]

i've been trying desperately for 6 years to locate this cartoon. I too met with strange looks whenever i tried to describe it. Mind you, all i could say was it had a a white version of Darth Cader and a classical sounding Theme music, so not a great deal to go on!!! So glad i've finally found it.

[demotitan]

It seems a common thing to say but I have been stared at like a fool speaking gibberish every time i described this Fantastic Cartoon to anyone, its such a relief to find out the name and to know that i wasnt having some sort of delusionary psychotic episode. Bless You for posting this. such simple beauty and wonderous sarcasm.

When will someone bring out a dvd of the entire series(anyone...PLEASE)

[lexsadler]

Me too - I FINALLY found this after thinking it was called 'Planet of the Robots' for so long...

[Lexx2]

Man, it's been 20 years since I've seen any of this! Thanks!

[osmanca]

I have an episode of this on Betamax tape. Good old 80s. I, too, had forgotten the name of this cartoon. I agree that the music is hypnotic, second only to Les Mondes Engloutis.

[linearskater]

My god it wasn't all a dream I really did used to watch this as a kid!!

Youve made my day!!!

[Eclipse229]

You legend, ashjjj. I did a google search on this out of curiosity just to see if I could find something about this show. A big favorite for me as a kid, just before school. Like everyone else it seems.

Wikid!

-E-

[ausbigbanga]

Thanks for posting...Have been asking everyone bout this show,now i know wot it is!!!Always remember,u are the lowest of the low.LOL

HAHA,wow i loved this show when i was a kid,watchin B4 school...And Star Blazers...

Two fav shows from when i was a kid...

[nickweak13]

This has brought back my childhood! I watched this all the time when I was a kid. Fantastic to see it again.

[ms211866]

Wow, seems almost everyone on here has the same story I do, a vague childhood memory of a cartoon that almost seemed like it never existed.

You're an absoloute legend for posting this ashjjj :D

Now I can finally tell people the name of this intriguing show, that left the saying "Never forget, you are the lowest of the low" stuck in heads of countless poeple for decades afterwards, lol, (way to self affirm) :D

[reesy1892]

Thanks very much for posting, I remember watching this as a kid with my nan. Brought back great memories... :)

[matt271976]

This show is nearly impossible to find anywhere!

Job well done for posting it!

[bluejeckett]

...and never forget, you are the lowest of the low." That catphrase will haunt me til the day I die as a childhood memory.

[darkbhudda]

"You are but the lowest of the low" is one of my favourite lines of any show.

[darthtanion]

You are the greatest of the great for posting this. So hard to find anywhere.

[metalheadprime]

god i remember this i also used to watch this

on itv in the 80's during summer holidays...

you used to have transformers in the morning

on wide awake club then you had jayce and the wheeled warriors then this show...i miss those

days...thank you for posting this...

[SCI78]

Ahhhhhhh man you just told my childhood

TRransformers, Wackaday, Jacey and the Wheeled warriors Rainbow !!!!!!!!

Round the bend, A team, Knight ryder, He-man, Thunder Cats MAN

[Metropolistic]

Sublime and funny. Many thanks ashjjj - great to see this again!

[Foxake]

Fantastic!!!!. Do you have anymore to upload? Been looking for this cartoon for years. Me and my sister used to watch this in the summer holidays in the 80's.

[pcflight]

I used to watch it when I was 9.I think those years,producers made the best cartoons.Clementine,Time masters,Spartakus and the sun beneath the sea,all Jules Verne classics were drawn at those period.

We all grew up with paradoxal stories,that's why most movies don't give taste to me nowadays.

[wondeboy12]

I rember this toon from when i was a kid my brother hated it lol

And who would of thought it was french :O

[aimnukes]

oh my god! easily the best video i have ever seen. the intro is so hypnotic.

does anyone remember the episode with the olym-picnic games?! more please ash

[masarius]

It's funny how so many people here feel the same. I actually tried contacting the ABC who was responsible for its broadcast in Australia to get copies of their archive. I'm seriously considering starting some sort of petition for it's ressurection onto DVD, I think it could be really successful.

[JasonLicklider]

This just goes to show you:

Japs make better cartoons than us

Frenchies make better cartoons than us

[nolastname]

I loved that cartoon when I was a kid and I still do. It's low budget but it doesn't matter, it's awsome. I didn't know that it went of France, it's fun to ear it in english! :)

[RandomExcess]

Thankyou!!! I can't believe someone actually still has a copy of this - I only know one other person who has even heard of it! I figured it was long gone...

"hard to find these days" - that's an understatement! When a search on Google (up until VERY recently) returns ZERO results, you know it's rare!

Thanks for uploading!

"Why'd you say that Robot Moron?" "I dunno..." :D

[robinmarshall1974]

I do - it too used to be on in the mornings and another of the things I would like to see.

[huffdiggler]

my god! i thought this cartoon was a dream, i loved this when i was a kid, i ask my friends if they remember it, none of them do, ashjjj, you deserve a medal

[rajaboy]

I remember it used to be on ITV during the summer holiday mornings when kids tv was cool

[dominicpcarroll]

@huffdiggler, That's exactly how I felt about it, like it was a dream! Nobody else could ever remember it when I asked, and I have never forgotten the "Always remember you are the lowest of the low," line. Does my heart good to see this.

[kyi561]

@huffdiggler I know exactly how you feel! :-)

[inkmagnet]

I've often looked for this. Such a creative a cartoon. Reminds me of Bode a bit. It had a much darker subplot that seemed to be unfolding as the story carried on.

I read that they simply ran out of money and had to close down the studio before the cartoon was finished.

[atil95]

comidog kardeşim sana katılıyorum thank you

[comidog]

bi cocugun hayal edip isteyebileceginden cok ote bi cizgifilmdi, baska biseydi... yillar sonra yeniden bulmus olmak, ruya gibi. thank you whoever you are!

[5munkee]

I've been looking for this for about 15 years and didn't think I would ever find it. ashjjj, you are some hero!

[publiciouss]

benim gibi birinin daha dünyada olduğunu bilmek ne güzel... o zaman tüm sevenlere "rellellee" diyorum :)

[mrbloodyright]

this used to be on tv in the 80s,1986 i think....brilliant.

[eeviac1]

OMG i cant believe that there are clips of this online. I knew of this cartoon for years but only found out what is was called last year! At least im not alone in remembering it.

[LouisaLDN]

I've been searching for this for years! Glad others remember this too. I don't know anyone else who does!!! Thanks

[kharnifex]

nice work ;)

[richard8trevithick]

this is the cartoon that no one remembers,i thought i was going mad and had made it up in my head,now thanks to you i know i am saine,thank you for posting these, i am not crazy it is real heres the proof.

[Riverman1971]

Rigglers!!! it lives, the greatest cartoon in history. Thankyou, thankyou and a thousand more thankyou's

[groovyghoulie]

WOW i thought i was the only person who remembers this

[Kill2Smile]

This made me cry as a 2-year-old when the white robot gets verbally abused by his master.

[pistola80]

Finally, Robostory makes an appearance on the net. Thank you!

[robinmarshall1974]

I have been recanting fragments of this tv show to hoards of people over the years trying to piece together a distant memory of my youth. Thx

[ah1701]

I have waited 22 years for this to show up SOMEWHERE!! Thank you - thank you for posting.

[Slann88]

Thanks so much for this, please keep posting the episodes! My mum misses this cartoon.

[mrbloodyright]
