Season 1 • Episode 37
LatestColiseum-type gladiator battles on the planet Terra Nova in the year 6132 pit good robots against bad in this CGI animated series based on the futuristic video game.
Practical Effects
Early 2000s CGI that somehow looks worse AND more charming now.
Sound
Every gear clang and hydraulic wheeze hits different at volume 11.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on a tabletop wargame by Dream Pod 9, because apparently someone thought 'Battletech but Canadian' was a gap in the market.
This aired in the shadow of Beast Wars and Escaflowne, which explains why history forgot it. The audacity of launching CGI mecha in 2001 without nostalgia backing.
