''Cubix: Robots For Everyone'' (2001) was a short-lived Korean AllCGICartoon, set [[ExpositoryThemeTune in a future not so far away]] where robots capable of emotions and independent thought are commonplace. The plot revolves around a boy named Connor and his robot Cubix, a SuperPrototype made of modular blocks who can transform into any number of useful forms. Along with his friends from the local robot repair shop (the "Botties"), Connor and Cubix battle the evil Dr. K as he tries to collect a mysterious substance called Solex that's causing robots to go berserk.

The series was licensed and dubbed by FourKidsEntertainment. You can watch it on [[http://www.youtube.com/show/cubixrobotsforeveryone YouTube]] or every Saturday morning on TheCW's Toonzai block.

!!Examples:

* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his multi-colored shapeshifting super-powered RobotBuddy.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Cerebrix has no offensive capabilities, but, as his name suggests, he is essentially a brain on legs. He can hack and/or analyze just about anything and can replicate any frequency he comes across, allowing him to jam the enemies' weapons while the others do the hitting.
* BareYourMidriff: Abby.
* BritishAccents: Kan-it speaks with... some form of British accent.
* ChestBlaster: Cubix combines this with a BattleAura to push enemies off of him. Kolossal has a solar cannon he only uses once. [[spoiler:Kulminator has two: a Gatling-like beam and a Solex-powered DisintegratorRay.]]
* CombiningMecha: Katastrophe has two main parts that can operate separately or join together.
* CrushKillDestroy: Solex-infected robots mostly do this.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Cubix twice near the end of season 1.]]
** [[spoiler: And Maximix at the end of season 2, who is killed by Kilobot, and is brought back using the data that Kilobot had absorbed from Maximix in an earlier episode. Possibly subverted somewhat as Maximix lost some of his memory as a result.]]
* {{Disappeared Dad}}/{{Missing Mom}}: Both Conner's mom and Hela's dad are dead. [[spoiler: It turns out that Hela's dad, Dr. Nemo, had just been kidnapped.]]
* DoAnythingRobot: Cubix can parts-shift to form vehicles for Connor, including a hover scooter and helicopter. The toy even featured a tank mode. On top of that, Cubix even has smaller gadgets built into his cube parts that can be used in other situations.
* EnemyMine:[[spoiler: In the series finale, The Botties and Dr. K team up to stop Kilobot from taking over the world.]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Cubix not only is made of cubes, but also features the colors on a standard Rubix cube (red, green, yellow, blue, white, and orange). May qualify as FridgeBrilliance.
* {{Expy}}: Kilobot resembles the Astranagant from ''SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' (who was created by [[AllYourPowersCombined combining the data of many robots]]), and similar to its pilot Ingram Prisken, [[spoiler:he betrays his master]].
* [[spoiler:FallingIntoTheCockpit: Near the end of the first series, the Botties take control of Dr. K's other robots when fighting Kolossal. Of course, they have no idea what they're doing.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Konfusion.
* FirstEpisodeResurrection: No one had been able to repair Cubix until Connor came along in the first episode.
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Connor
** {{The Lancer}}/{{The Chick}}: Abby
** TheBigGuy: Mong
** TheSmartGuy: Chip
** TheMentor: Hela
* [[GiantEnemyCrab Giant Enemy Krab]]
* GirlishPigtails: Abby
* HeyItsThatVoice: VeronicaTaylor as Abby, the late MaddieBlaustein as Dr. K.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Kilobot was defeated when the heroes used his own giant Zombot monster to drain him of his EPU energy.
** Considering Kilobot's [[MegaManning method]] [[EnergyAbsorption of gaining]] [[LifeEnergy his powers]], it's [[DeathByIrony ironic]] and [[PoeticJustice poetic]].
* HulkSpeak: "KOLOSSAL ''CRUSH''!"
* HumongousMecha: Dr. K uses his evil autonomous versions to battle the kids. [[spoiler: They later turn out to have internal cockpits. Also, Kulminator and Kontraption.]]
* IncrediblyLamePun: The show is chock full of them.
* KillItWithFire: At least two Solex-infected robots had spouted flamethrowers and torched everything around them.
* MacGuffin: Solex isn't even explained in the first few episodes. Dr. K wants it, and he goes out and gets it while the kids try to stop him. [[spoiler: It's later revealed to be a powerful source of fuel, and is used later to move a giant robot.]]
* MadScientist: Dr. K definitely counts
* MechaExpansionPack: Cubix gets one near the end of season 2.
* MegaManning: This is Kilobot's special ability. He can copy the information of any robot he absorbs, gaining their powers and the ability to shapeshift into them.
* MouthFlaps: Expected from a Korean CG series dubbed into English. Largely averted for the robots, none of whom have movable mouths in the first place (and whose lines are noticeably less awkward as a result).
* MultiplePersonalities: The aptly-named Konfusion.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Dr. K's combat robots, even if they aren't up to par with Cubix.
* {{Narrator}}: Connor, for at least seven episodes in the first season anyway.
* OnlyOneName: All the human characters, save for Hela Nemo.
* OpenSaysMe: Kilobot (disgused as Maximix)
-->'''Kilobot''':"Standing by, NOT"
* RobotBuddy: "Robots for Everyone" ''is'' the show's tagline, and also the in-world tagline of [=RobixCorp=], which offers hundreds of models from pet-like companions to kitchen assistants to construction bots.
* RobotMaster: Nearly every human in the show except Connor's dad.
* RocketPunch: Yes, Cubix can do this.
* TheStarscream: Kilobot.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Throughout the first season, Cubix spoke like a parrot, repeating whatever words he heard his friends say. In the season finale, after being brought back to life after his HeroicSacrifice to save Bubble Town from the Kulminator, he gains the ability to speak his own words.
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: Solex makes the infected robots gain powers that seem rather implausible.
* TheAhnold: Maximix.
* [[TheManBehindTheMan The Alien Behind The Man]]: In the first season, Dr. K was working along with an alien creature to gather the Solex for their plan.
** In season two, it was [[InvertedTrope inverted]] into The Robot In Front Of The Man when Kilobot, who looked like at first he was obeying Dr. K's orders, [[TheStarscream turned out to have his own plans]] and in the end, double crossed Dr. K and nearly lead an army of robots in the conquest of the world.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Cubix runs off of this, and it brings him back to life. [[spoiler: Especially on more than one occasion.]]
* TheReveal: It turned out that Raska, the attractive model who was the spokesperson for [=RobixCorp=] [[spoiler: was actually the alien creature who was working with Dr. K in disguise]].
* TheVirus: This was how Kilobot's Zombot army worked. They would touch a robot and drain them of their EPU energy, turning them into Zombots as well, then the new Zombots would repeat the process.
* ThemeNaming: [=RobixCorp=] robots usually have "ix" somewhere in their names.
* ThisIsADrill: Krab hoists an energy-equivalent weapon, and Cubix sports a DrillTank mode.
* TimTaylorTechnology: In a pinch? Need to save your friends? Overclock your super-powered reactor and save the day!
* TransformationSequence: Stock footage used several times per episode, on account of Cubix's many forms.
* TransformingMecha: Cubix, although he parts-shifts instead of an actual transformation between pre-defined modes. This gives him a surprising amount of versatility.
** Maximix can also turn into a trike.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: This happened to many of the robots that were infected with Solex. Kilobot also did this in the season two finale. In an [[LaserGuidedKarma interesting twist]], Kilobot's KeystoneArmy of Zombots did the same thing to him when the heroes reprogrammed them to attack him.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: "In the future, not so far away..."
* VillainousBreakdown: After Cubix and the gang foil Kilobot's plans, he becomes enraged and attempts to wipe Cubix out by crushing his EPU with his bare hands.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Many robots in the show are capable of this, including Cubix.
* XRaySparks: The manner in which Dr. K creates Kilobot, much like [[FrankensteinsMonster a certain other monster]].
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Dr. K's robots follow a [[LetterMotif theme]] of starting with "K", e.g. Kolossal, Katastrophe, Krab, Klawber, Kannon, Kuliminator, Kontraption, Kilobot and even Kan-it, Konfusion, and Klank. Most of the manufactured robots from [=RobixCorp=] end with "ix," i.e. Diagnostix, Hop-2-ix, Lectrix, etc.
* YouMeddlingKids: Said by Dr. K on at least one occasion.
