3''Zentrix'' is a CGI donghua[[note]] Chinese animated series[[/note]] which began airing in Hong Kong in 2003. The basic premise was that a princess had to go back in time to prevent an evil AI from taking over the world, with the help of her trusted robot. Produced by IMAGI, the Hong Kong-based company responsible for the ''WesternAnimation/AstroBoy'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' CGI films. The human characters weren't all too well animated; however, the robots were very well animated.

5!! Tropes:
6
7* AerithAndBob: Emperor Jarad has a daughter named... Megan.
8* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Doctor Coy's lab is invaded and destroyed near the end of the series.
9* BadBoss: Omicronpsy. He has no qualms about destroying servants that fail him.
10%%* BeamOWar
11* BigBad: Omicronpsy, who wants to take over Zentrix City and rule its inhabitants.
12* BittersweetEnding: Omnicronpsy is defeated, but Quantum is destroyed and Megan must return to her time along with the Zeus, leaving their friends behind who won't be able to see them for seven years.
13%%* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Quantum.]]
14%%* TheDragon: Dark General. Silver General fills this role after [[spoiler:he gets killed off]].
15* EvilLaugh: Omicronpsy is very fond of these.
16* {{Fembot}}: Silver General and the entire silver series robots have a distinctly feminine design.
17%%* FemmeFatale: Silver General could technically count.
18* FountainOfYouth: A time machine malfunction makes Megan not only go back in time seven years, but makes her seven years younger too. When she wakes up after travelling to the past, she has an eight years old body, despite still having a fifteen years old mind.
19* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Omicronpsy's mooks, particularly when they're invading Doctor Coy's lab. The dark and silver series robots do sometimes avert this before inevitably getting blown up.
20%%* LargeHam: Omicronpsy, so so much.
21* LonelyRichKid: Megan, before her father gave her Mango as a gift. Until then, her only playmates were robots.
22* MissingMom: Megan's mother died when she was still a child.
23* NoFlowInCGI: Averted. When characters with long hair move about so does their hair.
24* ObviouslyEvil: Omicronpsy.
25%%* PowerGlows: Only because of the overheating and the risk of self destructing.
26* RedHeadedHero: (Or heroine) Princess Megan
27* SecretTestOfCharacter: When Zeus and Quantum are being tested for the mission of protecting Megan, they have to fight each other, and they are equal in power. What makes Emperor Jarad choose Zeus for the mission was the fact that, when confronted with a situation in which they had to protect a human life, Zeus stopped focusing on Quantum to do it, while Quantum kept focused on defeating Zeus.
28* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Megan. She's the main character, after all.
29%%* SpaceBase: Omicronpsy's ship and the space stronghold in the final battle.
30%%* SuperMode: For Zeus and Quantum.
31* ThemeTune: The Japanese tune, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-6Pk0fhBMY&feature=related Change the Future]]" by Music/{{Bz}}.
32%%* TimeyWimeyBall: Don't try to think too much about the time travel elements.
33%% Explain the time travel inconsistencies.
34* TransformingMecha: Silver 02 can turn into a plane! Doesn't stop her getting destroyed pretty quickly.
35%%* WaveMotionGun
36* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Omicronpsy allows the Dark General to perish in order to field test a new upgrade for himself.]]
37* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Princess Megan successfully shuts down all the zentriums powering Omicronpsy, [[spoiler:only to find he has made a new body that can work independently of them]].
