Its surprising how a show of this calibre could disappear into nothingness. I can only say it was due to being shown at times on channels you wouldn't normally watch. I inadvertently strayed onto this show but with one episode i was hooked.It did something that no other series had done before, it actually got better with every episode. It had a mix of fast and slow pace which created different enjoyable elements. At its slowest you could see the shear wonder of its cgi world and the interactions between characters. At its fastest it would give DBZ a run for its money. The fights were so lightning fast that every episode came with a warning for epileptics. It was like cgi DBZ with robots, and it was awesome. These robots would be brutally pummelling each other and it never got repetitive. It certainly was the highlight of the series.People may say the characters were just plain dumb. But at least they weren't complete stereotypes. Sure the dialogue was the weakest element but the atmosphere and some of the line were brilliant. A one that i can still remember was "humans were the most dangerous of all animals". At the time it was profound to see how intelligence really made us dangerous, I had always heard of man-eating this and that.The plot was pretty close to the terminator with a human and a robot protector being sent back in time to stop a robot overlord from ruling the world and exterminating humanity. But it wasn't overused dribble about people's destiny. It had an array of interesting creature and characters with some comedic moments. The villains in this were cruel and deceptive and they were actually pretty dark at times. Don't go thinking that the good guys always won because i can tell you they suffered a few defeats as well. This is what makes it such a good series because the progression and dilemmas.Something that sticks in my mind is the last fight. Not only is there death but the hero wins not through brute strength but through brains. Actually outsmarting the most powerful and intelligent artificial intelligences ever. Leaving a perfect conclusion which is both happy and sad at the same time.People may write this off as just another dumb cgi animation. But these people just don't give it a fair chance. Sure its DBZ meets the terminator and it has its flaws. But what shines through is nothing less than TV wonder. Truly unforgettable.
