HEY! A Kan-it fan! love to see it.

I'll never forget the Cubix Build-A-Bot Sweepstakes that 4Kids held where you design your own Cubix robot, send it in, and both 1st place and 2nd place get made into actual robots on the show, but only 1st place is credited by name. I remember losing my mind when I placed 3rd. That marks the only time I've ever placed anything in a sweepstakes. But then when I saw the robots who placed 1st and 2nd, I remember thinking mine was much cooler. But I got the full line of 6" action figures and Cubix Racing Robots for the GBC as prizes, so I wasn't THAT mad about it. lol.

Thankful to have watched this as a kid, don’t remember much of it but it made me happy as a kid

Oh yeah! This was my show in elementary school! It was on all the time on the Fox Box/4kidstv time! They brought it back in 2012 or so for one last hurrah of the series and was quite nostalgic. Still miss Saturday morning cartoons.

My sweet sweet boy, my childhood hero! Where all the other kids gushed over Superman or Batman, I had Cubix and had no shame in telling the other kids about him. Honestly it's safe to say that he singlehandedly is the sole reason I'm such a huge robotics enthusiast as I am today. My heart gushed when I heard rumors back in 2009 that they were going to reboot the series, but fell once it set in that they were just hearsay and nothing more. As much as I would LOVE to see my cubey boy make a grand return, in current scheme and state of reboots not being all that great I wouldn't want to risk tarnishing my fond memories of him. But in the right hands.... maybe. A friend of mine passed me along to this and I could feel it all swell back up in me once again, all the sweet memories of my childhood gushing over this series the best and only way Kid Me knew how lol. Thank you for highlighting such an underappreciated and overshadowed gem like Cubix. His curious and wholesome nature was one thing of many that let him stand out like he did even in a short time. Also rest in peace to Steve Irwin, the voice of our beloved Kan-it. He brought so much love and character to such a quirky robot!

Jordan is by far one of the most graceful critics of media on KZread. I love watching these nostalgia filled recaps of old shows I used to love, and while so many are riddled with quality and production issues, he never forgets these shows were made in earnest to entertain and excite kids. I appreciate that he never forgets behind each one of these shows, there was a cast and crew working real hard jusr trying to entertain and make their young audience smile, 30 minutes at a time.

Okay, but will you watch it more to become a windmill?

I honestly didn't remember Cubix until I saw this video, then a few dim memories came back. Even as a kid I wasn't a huge fan of it tbh. What struck me watching these clips of it is how expressive the characters are. For early 2000s CG animation, it somehow manages to convey more emotion than some of the CG anime out there today. Which, given that it was made by a South Korean studio, makes me a little sad that Korea and Japan haven't really pushed the bar much in two decades.

I actually love Cubix, I have the DVD Movie which is a condensed version of the first episodes, possibly the first season I think, I had the GBA game Clash N Bash, I have the PS2 Game and remember watching it all the time when i was younger. I'm extremely disappointed to learn there isnt a DVD Set of the full series and that its hard to find, id love for Hasbro to reissue the series or something along those lines as I feel it was a good for its time series given 4Kids usual track record of dubs and shows, I'll say lots of my love probably comes from nostalgia but growing up i found solice in robots and machines, so the series hit really home for me as i could relate with Connor a lot, so even if the characters werent as fleshed out or deep it still held up to me, even today after watching this video i just wanna go back and watch the series again, hence my disappointment at its accessibility.

You NEED to talk about "Medabots" 🤖 Loved it geowing up. Building and modifying your battle robot, for tactical use. Plus the characters 🤣

Man, hearing Ted Lewis' voice for those transition bumpers just fills me with nostalgia. From Pokémon Stadium to 4Kids & Fox Kids, he was one of the voices of my childhood, right next to Veronica Taylor, Dan Green & Eric Stuart.

Dude you're making me relive every single childhood tv show memory. That muscle guy thing, I vaguely remember, so excited to remember more from your video

Man getting my cubix toy as a kid was such a happy memory

Literally the only reason this show has had a place in my memories to reside in is because I played the game as a kid. Never watched the show, but that game has somehow engrained itself into my brain after almost twenty years later.

Veronica Taylor also voiced Ash Ketchum, Ash's mom and May from Pokémon. Had the pleasure of meeting her at the first LA Comic Con, incredibly sweet woman.

Man, I remember I had a book from this show, it had that whole "images from the show" thing, was a book about the history of the world and the characters, I'd completely forgotten about that until now. Good work again, keep working that witchcraft to bring up those childhood memories lol

so glad youve gone back to do this one. a huge piece of nostalgia from my childhoodd

This video came at the right time for me. I have been revisiting some of the shows that aired on Vortex like Justice League unlimited. The show was familiar to me but I was more interested in shows like Sonic x, and Dinosaur King. I am glad I listened to my younger self because, the main plot for the first two seasons of Justice League unlimited, came from Batman the Animated series (BTAS) Season Superman the animated series (STAS) and Justice League, and Batman Beyond. I fell into the rabbit hole of the DCAU for a while and it has left me astounded of how amazing it is. I am little bit mad at myself for not giving it a chance earlier, but I am glad I watched it when I did. Cubix is another show I hope to revisit as well. It was one of the shows I didn't watch because of the way the animation looked to me. I can say for certain that I was somewhat interested in seeing the world the show created.

I remember this!! Watched a lot of it as a kid. Well done Jordan

As soon as I stumbled across your channel and noticed the sheer number of old kids TV shows you cover, I just had to keep scrolling to see if you did a video on this. Even though I scrolled past a ton of other obscure shows, I was still very surprised to actually find a Cubix video. I didn't get to watch a lot of the series, due to only getting the opportunity to watch it when staying at my aunts after school, I'll always remember how cool I thought it was and wished I could watch it every day. But oh god, the CG of that era hasn't aged well for me.

This was my favorite TV show as a kid and I’m so thankful you did a video on it. I’ll never forget this series. One thing I do wish that would have been released from this series, other than a complete series DVD set, would have been the wonderful music/orchestra in it. Some of those songs were pretty epic!

I have fond memories of cubix, but i couldnt recite any episodes off my head. I remember moments that stuck with me, but nothing concrete. I do miss it in that nostalgic sense, but I also feel it's rose-tinted. Would be fun to see it return.

I've been looking for this show for years now, thank you so much, you are a life saver

As I am writing this comment, it is currently very late. I am constructing a Lego robot that is very blocky. I suddenly remembered watching this show as a child and came onto the internet to look for anybody else who had also remembered it. I found your channel and enjoyed your video. Thank you kind sir, your content is very enjoyable!

I had vague memories of this show to the point I thought I just imagined it. But you are spot one with your analysis. I could recall the premise of the show (bunch of kids and robots, main kid fixes unfixable robot) but beyond that, I could not recall any plot points or other details. It was a good premise with no substance

Once again Jordan is resurfacing memories from childhood that I completely forgot existed

I remember this show! It was my favorite! It's kinda underrated! I even remember having a robotic Don-Don toy and a giant Cubix electric toy with blinking eyes as a Christmas present one year! 🤖

I always wanted a toy of Cubix, he looked so posable and the transformation possibilities really stuck out to me.

I remember I never watched Cubix as a kid primarily cause I could never find it on to watch or even read a T.V. guide. But, I remember one day I went to Blockbuster and noticed the Cubix game was on the shelf and was pre-owned for GameCube for 7.99. I some how convinced my mother to get it for me instead of renting another game as I would be owning it so we would never have to return it. The thing I remember most about that game is that when the characters speak their entire head bobbles just like a bobble head during a violent earthquake. The combat was literally rock, paper, scissors on a wheel and mediocre puzzles at best. The thing one thing I truly appreciated about the game was the robots designs and "attacks". In all honesty I think the game was worth the 7.99 but no more than that.

Dang, I've been waiting for ages for this video,, thanks for covering it and with it hopefully bringing it to a wider audience!

I remember having a weirdly vivid dream that Cubix was directly responsible for Connor's mother's death being unable to save her when the family (including a baby Connor) got involved in a severe car accident on a dark & stormy night on a canyonside road. In this dream version of the show's story this incident is why Connor's father Graham doesn't like robots and has a personal grudge against Cubix. The thing is, it was formatted like an episode with Graham having a particularly bad day, taking it out on Cubix, and the episode is interspersed with flashbacks of the incident. This all culminates in a car incident happening on the same road with Connor & Graham, with Connor nearly dying and Cubix being the only one who could save him at the cost of great damage to himself. It turns out that Cubix ended up in the shop because of the incident where the mother died, Cubix having shut down due to grief. Cubix reactivated precisely as it was the son of the woman he failed to save because Cubix had to choose between saving Connor & saving his mum. Cubix is repaired in the episode and Graham forgives him for being unable to save his wife now understanding it was an impossible choice to make. Given I can still remember this dream in detail 20 years later is bizarre and I was so convinced that this was a part of the show's story that I was left deeply confused when I couldn't find any mention of it.

I mostly remember the toys more than show. I remember really wanting all the pieces of Cubix, never got them though 😕.

Great episode Jordan! It’s nice to see someone covering tv shows from my childhood. Would you cover Medabots? I almost never hear anyone talk about it anymore. Oh! & Code Lyoko, Martin Mystery, totally spies, & Zatch Bell would be great too! idk, just some ideas for ya :) Thanks for all your hard work!

I specifically looked for this video to see if you covered Cubix and I have to say you scratched my itch as well. I remember it fondly but mostly that first episode. Glad to hear that it was at least "fine."

I was literally thinking about this show recently, as I stumbled into a tape of it. Great timing!

I never thought I'd see a Cubix video on here, I freaking loved it on ps2. I wish they'd remake it somehow

I loved Cubix! I remember having the Cubix figure and thinking it was the coolest thing I owned cuz he legit could transform like in the show. He could also read the special cubix cards in the trading card game to unlock new voice lines! I bought countless packs looking for each of the rare ones and eventually was only missing 2. But I sadly no longer have the figure or cards. Wish i did tho

I used play this on my GameCube so much omg 😆 I love this channel never thought you’d cover this. ❤️💯🙏🏾💪🏾 thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have so much nostalgia for it. I tried rewatching it a little while ago and got pretty far, but I think the whole thing is hard to find online?

OMG I remember this show when I was younger although I only remember the theme song

This was my FAVORITE SHOW!!!!! I even had the action figure when I was younger.

I don’t know about many obscure early 2000’s shows to suggest other than Code Lyoko or Chaotic, but what about Sonic Boom? It was a mid 2010’s show that was on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. It was a funny satirical look at Sonic the Hedgehog that had some clever writing and jokes!

For the first time, I actually don't remember this! 😆 but great retrospective as usual

Now this was a blast from the past. I honestly forgot this show existed until I saw your video. Looking forward to the next one thought. Keep up the amazing work. 😊

Thank you so much for covering Cubix. The way most people acted about, I honestly thought it was a mass fever dream. It was a wonderful show and was on during a very rememberable time for me when I was a young child with a lot of big and bright dreams. Edit: This was also on either Fox Box or CWKids if I remember correctly.

I wonder since Hasbro owns the rights if they've considered trying to tie Cubix in with the Transformers, like maybe the existence of Cybertronians inspired the people of Earth to make their own robots with personalities and powers such as Cubix for instance.

They could do that. Take the Go-Bots for instance. While Hasbro doesn't have rights to the toyline, because they own the fiction from buying Tonka, Go-Bots were retconned into the Transformers multiverse as another dimension. An homage to their rivalry back in the day. They could do something similar with Cubix if Hasbro really wanted, but only if the South Korean rights holders approve it.

I remember back as a kid I could never wake up in time to watch it on the Fox Box, but I always enjoyed just about everything I could wake up in time for. I also remember watching the entire series on KZread a couple tears age so I could see it again and actually know what the heck I was watching and I honestly found myself enjoying it as much as I did in my childhood, the 3D animations of that era were always something interesting to me.

it was a great fun show to watch growing up, even finding it again on TV a few years ago

Me and my dad watched this show during the original run and we absolutely loved it

I remember really liking the show as a kid but i have never watched it since. Nice that somebody else remembers it. Great video.

I did love cubic and I need that Fox box video nostalgia has slapped me in the face when you showed that. Great video btw

loved this show as a kid. I remembered having colossal as an action figure, and for the LIFE of me, I couldn't remember the name of the show where it came from. thanks for doing these videos, great series!

The music for Cubix transformations was amazing. Makes you feel like you can do anything

I had a flash of this show in my memory, that i watched it in my grandma's house as a kid, and today thanks to Reddit i found what show it was, and now I remember that i was obsessed with the monocycle robot and drew monocycled robots everywhere lol, now my grandma passed away some years ago and this video bright me back some good memories

Cubix is a show that keeps popping into my head every now and then. I had a VHS of the first 2 episodes with Norwegian dubbing

Let me just say I am hyped for the Ultimate Muscle video! As always this was an awesome trip down cartoon nostalgia lane.

Thank you for covering cubix. So many of my friends never heard of cubix

havn't watched rubix in ages and its quite an informative video brings back a lot of sweet memories, although as you mentioned it didn't age that well and now looking back, it's really different yet nostalgic

I watched cubix as a kid , being only roughly 4 or 5 I fell in love with this show, and I had the ps2 game . I use to replay the first few levels because I didn’t know what to do, but I liked the puzzles . This show was the sole reason the first dog I ever named was cubie, short for cubix … I know that doesn’t make sense , but I was 5 give me a break . I love you dig insight to this show , as this was one of the few shows I have super fond memories of , including things like Pokémon , medabots , DBZ,Shaolin showdown , yugioh , coconut head … just so many early 2000s cartoons- OH CODE LYOKO! .. just fond memories, thank you for taking a look back in time .

You’re a godsend. I’ve been desperately trying to remember the name of this show

Cubix was my childhood, thanks for talking about it

Cubix Showdown was fun. I replay it pretty periodically. That's actually where most of my Cubix memories come from, rather than the show. As a Pokemon fan I liked making teams of different bots, but I feel that and there being a rock-paper-scissors system are all they really shared(aside from voice actors). The mini-games in Showdown's party mode were neat enough for kid me and my older cousin back then. Industrial, ambient and electronic, the OST is really something to talk about, just for how unique it is(at least among other games I've played). I think a longplay would be worth checking out by those interested.

I’ve been waiting for this one 🙏🏻

I’d be stoked to see an Ultimate Muscle vid!

Hell yeah. When I found your channel a week or so back, I was like “I wonder if he has a video on Cubix.” Well, now ya do. :)

I really appreciate your videos on these classic animated shows. Some of these shows you elaborate on were my childhood. I hope you can do a video on Megas XLR soon. Thanks. 👍👍

Cubix is 1 of my superb cartoons ever. I like it.

I remember as a kid I entered a competition with my sister to draw a charcter who would appear in an episode , we sent our drawings away and never heard anything so we forgot and moved on...10 years later! we both get big envelopes with our drawings back and a promotional poster and stickers for Cubix. what makes it weirder is that we had moved house twice since then

I have had random memories of this show years, thinking I was having a fever dream as no one else seems to remember it. I'm glad I'm not alone

I had a Cubix racing video game for the PlayStation 1 and was so obsessed with it and the tv show. This was so nostalgic to watch again.

The rust/corruption multiparter gave me nightmares for years

Do I remember Cubix? This, Max Steel and Heavy Gear were my introductions into this 3d style and I loved how futuristic it felt for the time and even by todays standards the quality holds up very well in my opinion! Warms my soul seeing someone that does such high quality videos give my robo some love Would love for you to do a series on Heavy Gear!
