YMMV / Mighty Orbots

• Complete Monster: The massive lovecraftian-looking bio-computer Umbra is the leader of SHADOW, an intergalactic terrorist organization dedicated to universal conquest and the dissolution of the United Planets. Umbra's schemes include attempting to ravage the Earth with monsters and an asteroid; framing the Orbots for terrorist attacks in order to get them thrown into a Hellhole Prison secretly run by SHADOW; bombing and nearly overtaking the United Planets headquarters; and enslaving a peaceful race of primitives whose planet he spitefully tries to blow up when they are freed from his control by the Orbots. When a minion successfully completes his assigned mission, Umbra informs him that he is abandoning him to die due to no longer having any use for him, and when a scientist later complains that Umbra is treating him more like a servant than a partner, Umbra responds by infecting the doctor with his own deadly plague. In the series finale, Umbra wipes out an entire solar system with a weapon called the Sun Smasher, which he threatens to use on the Milky Way unless he is declared overlord of Earth. When the Orbots launch a desperate direct assault against him, Umbra captures them and tortures them with nightmarish illusions while smugly informing them that soon everyone they know and love will be either under his control or obliterated.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: While the show's animation is generally excellent, the opening is action packed. And gorgeous.
