Trivia / Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack

• Franchise Killer: Although not because of bad ratings. Rather, it was because Toei was developing another show at the time, Moero!! Robocon (a remake of Ganbare!! Robocon), and Robotack was deemed to have similar of a premise to it. As such, rather than make another show in the same vein as Kabutack and Robotack and have two redundant shows competing with each other, Toei decided to end the Metal Heroes franchise on a high note.^note Ironically, the final episode of this show had the titular hero sacrificing his life. We're not kidding. Robocon then filled the void left by Robotack, was itself followed by Kamen Rider Kuuga, and the rest is history. Toei would later revive the franchise with the Space Sheriff revival films.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Apart from a Direct to Video crossover movie with Kabutack, the series only saw a release on VHS. It wasn't until 2018 when the entire series was uploaded to Toei's Youtube channel in it's entirety.
