Marvel comics made a short-lived comic based on the cartoon. A commercial for the comic was made and aired on Saturday mornings.
Robotix suffered from many of the same problems as "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" (1985). The ROBOTIX toy line featured modular building sets that generally resembled space combat vehicles and were marketed as such. The cartoon characters were completely different, represented as giant robots with the implanted consciousnesses of ancient humanoids who had gone into suspended animation when their sun went nova. For example, Tyrannix was a building set that built a spaceship, but the character on the cartoon was a humanoid robot. This may have been what led to the downfall of the toy line in the mid-1980s. Also, the sets included a generic commander while the cartoon featured human characters. Unlike Wheeled Warriors, the Robotix cartoon did not continue on its own.
The cartoon had the same premise as the later show "Beast Wars: Transformers" (1997). Interestingly, it later received a crossover with the show's predecessor, "Transformers" (1984) in comic book form.
