- Mechamato Movie spoiler talks (I gotta watch the movie first lmao):
The "Spheraverse" (originally called "Power Sphera Universe" until 2022) is The 'Verse involving several of Animonsta Studios' IPs, most notably the BoBoiBoy and Mechamato series. It centers around the adventures of humans who get special powers from alien spherical robots known as Power Spheras, and fight evil with them.
It started in 2011 with the BoBoiBoy series, where the titular boy accidentally leads a Power Sphera named Ochobot to his home and gains Elemental Powers from him, and the robot grants powers to BoBoiBoy's friends as well. During its run, numerous side-material such as magazine comics and spinoffs were released. Before the series concluded with 3 seasons in June 2016, BoBoiBoy The Movie, which occurs after the finale, was released in March 2016.
A Soft Reboot series BoBoiBoy Galaxy began in November 2016 with its first season concluding in June 2018. (yada yada yada covid 19 and then comic, will type this later)
An indirect prequel series, Mechamato launched in late 2021 on Cartoon Network. Its prequel film, Mechamato Movie, was announced and intended to be released before the series, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 Pandemic before releasing in December 2022.
[Mention Papa Pipi ?]
Beware of unmarked spoilers for the connections between any of the series, especially BoBoiBoy and Mechamato.
Across the Spheraverse are examples of:
- Mechanical Lifeforms: The Power Spheras that The 'Verse is named after. They are spherical space robots with superpowers that often have the suffix "bot" at the end of their names. BoBoiBoy and his friends get power watches from Ochobot (a yellow Power Sphera), and MechaBot (a red Power Sphera) forms the Powered Armor of Mechamato.
- According to the exclusive comic prologue for BoBoiBoy The Movie, the Kubulus aliens invented the Power Spheras to protect themselves from hostile invaders, but became greedy themselves and reprogrammed some to be destructive in order to conquer planets for their empire. Klamkabot disperses his kind and takes away the floating island that the Power Sphera factory resides on via Teleportation. BoBoiBoy Galaxy has the heroes from Earth go to space to rescue the abused Power Spheras.
- In the Mechamato series, the robotic outlaws besides MechaBot don't appear to be Power Spheras, but they are walking, talking (and often morally dubious) machines.
- Punny Name: Expect puns, often of the bilingual variety, all over the place.
- Power Sphera is itself a play on the word "sphera", the Malay word for "sphere", appropriate for the spherical robots with that name.
- BoBoiBoy:
- Mechamato:
- Goosar
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show:
