History WesternAnimation / BoltsAndBlip

* {{Narcissist}}: Tigrr Jaxxon is massively in love with himself. To a lesser extent, Bolts qualifies as this too.

''Bolts & Blip'' is a Canadian AllCGICartoon produced by the Korean-Canadian 3D-animation studio [=ToonBox=] Entertainment (the creators of ''WesternAnimation/TheNutJob''). It was posthumously created by the late Canadian animator Andy Knight, founder of Creator/RedRoverStudios and creator of such cartoons as ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'', ''WesternAnimation/PigCity'', and ''WesternAnimation/GetEd''.

Enter Bolts and Blip, [[RedOniBlueOni two best friends and polar opposites]] stuck in boring civilian jobs who both dream of taking part in the Lunar League games. Then one day, due to a computer error, they get their chance. Unfortunately, they end up on the lowest-ranked team in the whole league, the chronically losing Thunderbolts, whose notable members include a prototype {{fembot}} named [[ActionGirl Saedee]] who serves as team captain, the hot-headed [[DrillSergeantNasty Coach Gridiron]], and diminutive [[BeleagueredAssistant assistant coach]] Steve. As a result, our two mechanical misfit friends find themselves in all sorts of shenanigans as they and their ragtag band of teammates try to climb their way to the top, dealing with such enemies as rival battlebots like the Lunar League's #1 player [[JerkJock Tigrr Jaxxon]] and [[TheDreaded the dreaded Reformatter machine]] that [[ForcedTransformation turns poorly performing battlebots into common household appliances]].

However, things aren't all fun and games as Blip [[MythArc slowly starts uncovering evidence of a conspiracy]] about the full extent of Dr. Blood's plans to conquer the Moon and how ordinary robots like him are central to both [[SleeperAgent starting Dr. Blood's conquest]] and [[TheChosenOne thwarting the entire scheme]]...

* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler:Blip. Dr. Tommy designed him to manifest [[SuperMode super-powers]] when Dr. Blood makes his move, but not before.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Blip and Saedee. The two have feelings for each other, but are too awkward to admit it. [[spoiler:TheyDo in the finale.]]

* DoesNotSpeakCommon: The mob boss Vinnie Two-Chimes only speaks in a series of binary bleeps.

''Bolts & Blip'' is a Korean-Canadian AllCGICartoon produced by [=ToonBox=] Entertainment and Creator/RedRoverStudios. It was posthumously created by the late Canadian animator Andy Knight, founder of Red Rover Studios and creator of such cartoons as ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'', ''WesternAnimation/PigCity'', and ''WesternAnimation/GetEd''.

In TheFuture, disputes on Earth are resolved by the Lunar League Games -- robots competing in sporting events in a robot city on the Moon. All these robots were built by the mysterious Dr. Tommy, except for the malevolent Bloodbots built by Dr. Blood, who wants to conquer the Moon.

Bolts and Blip were best friends stuck in a boring office job, who wanted to take part in the games--then due to a computer error, they got their chance, joining the chronically losing team, the Thunderbolts. To everyone's surprise, including their own, they do well there, and the Thunderbolts start winning.

Blip, meanwhile, starts uncovering evidence of a conspiracy involving Dr. Blood's plans to conquer the Moon.

* NoWaterproofingIntheFuture: Robots in the show's setting are instantly rusted by water, although it is totally harmless and only freezes them in place.
