Indentation fix and trope correction. Also doing the YMMV removal I said I did last time but forgot to do.


4kids worked together with Cinepix to produce the show. As such the Korean version came first and the English version was based upon it, with several scenes featuring new animation being [[AdaptationExpansion created solely for the English version]]. For example, more scenes were added into the first episode showing the Botties warming up to Connor as he works on Cubix.

Moving Values Dissonance entry from the YMMV page under a new trope as per query. Also expanding a ZCE and removing Wiki Words linking to YMMV.


** The infamous "Burping Bubbles" scene in "Tommorows Robot Today". In the original the bubbles were explosive, whereas in the dub they're still explosive but are filled with gas that makes people burp.
** In "War Triangle" Dr K. creates an allegory of his evil plan using Gingerbread Cookies embedded with gumdrops. In the original version the cookies were action figures (with gumdrops stuck to them). This change was likely made due to the fact that Dr K. proceeds to eat a gumdrop in the scene and 4kids didn't want to give kids the impression it's okay to eat toy parts.
* CantCatchUp: The other robots in regards to Cubix. Due to the fact that [[spoiler: Cubix runs on solex]]. Maximix eventually suffers a crisis in confidence as a result in "The Importance of being Maximix".

* CleanDubName: The Creator/{{Toonami}} dub changed Mong's name to "Mark", because one definition of "mong" is a derogatory term for people with Down syndrome.



* CurseCutShort: Averted in ''Kubix!!!'', where Mong does a song and dance in front of a [[spoiler: sleeping Kolossal and when the Botties try to warn Mong that it's waking up]], he believes that they're attempting to do this.

* EvilCounterpart: Kilobot to Cubix, to the point of being designed with his cube separation gimmick. The major differences between them are that Cubix is loyal to his friends, while Kilobot is much more willing to betray Dr. k, [[spoiler:eventually mutinying in the second season finale]].

As someone who watched the show when it aired in the UK, I can confirm that Mong's name was not changed to 'Mark', and there's no mention of this anywhere on the internet.


** Mong's name was redubbed as "Mark" in the UK broadcast after there was some controversy about his character. MENCAP complained that the character of Mong makes fun of people who are Mongoloid but it probably wasn't intentional on the creators' part. Ironically Mong was the only Bottie to retain his name from the original Korean version.

Added trope about power up module.

Added DiffLines:

* SuperMode: In a few season two episodes, Cubix uses a power up module that increases his strength and speed, and gives him teleporting powers. However, he can only use it for short periods due to its intense power usage - if he uses it for more than three minutes he will overload his power systems and explode.

Now I'm not sure if this trope fits under the English folder or not. I'm only just crosswicking a new trope so I'm not familiar with the series.

Added DiffLines:

Misuse. Fails the requirements for Expy


* {{Expy}}: Kilobot resembles the Astranagant from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' (who was created by [[AllYourPowersCombined combining the data of many robots]]), and similar to its pilot Ingram Prisken, [[spoiler:he betrays his master]].
