Gun Robot Anthology

In-universe media has always been fascinating to me. Mentions of fictional movies, franchises, bands that only exist in a movie, show, video game, web comic, etc were always a super cool touch of local color that helped make a setting or it’s pop culture more believable. Bonus points if it doesn’t effect a plot or character. The example I want to talk about today is the Gun Robot franchise from Tales of Arcadia (Trollhunters, 3 Below and Wizards).

We know in canon that there’s seven movies and began in the eighties, and the Sally Go-Back doll is from that franchise (and she even has a theme song!), but not much else. Cause it doesn’t effect the plot. So let’s have some fun with the headcanons on the franchise and what everyone in-verse thinks about it. Today, I wanted to talk about the impact rather than what the movies were about.

Gun Robot (1985)

The first Gun Robot movie was made in the veins of Ghost Busters, to be a silly science fiction movie with good action scenes and goofy characters. Reviews were mixed as many felt the humor and action didn’t mix. It became a cult classic for some, and spawn a few toys and a five episode cartoon series (which was canceled due to bad ratings. This cartoon isn’t fondly remembered by fans).

Gun Robot 2 (1987)

There was genuine fear of this movie falling into the sequel curse, but everyone was proven wrong. Gun Robot 2 is considered a masterpiece, not only being better than the first Gun Robot movie but being an overall great, fun, action packed movie with everything everyone could ask for. It had a highly successful toy line and spawned not one but TWO spin off Saturday morning cartoons (one gritty action series, the other a silly slapstick show for little kids, both are great)! Everyone in unanimous in saying Gun Robot 2 was the pinnacle of the series.

Gun Robot 3: Blazing! (1990)

Critics were surprised that the third movie was just as good as the second. There was more wiggle room for the plot to get darker and introduce more characters. One of them being Sally Go-Back. Sadly, the new toyline didn’t do so well this time around, so movie production staff were willing to write the movie off as a flop. Which is wasn’t, the third movie was just as beloved by audiences as the second one.

Gun Robot: Escape Ironclad Fortress (Gun Robot 4) (1993)

Unfortunately, this movie went straight to video, so production value had dropped as well as many of the original ideas that went into it. So, producers decided to follow the canon of the gritty Gun Robot 2 cartoon and included Sally Go-Back into it. It sold VERY WELL on video, and fans were willing to make this their new canon for the franchise. There was no toy line for this one, but the sales helped spawn a comic book franchise as well as a Sally Go-Back cartoon that went on for four seasons.

Sally Go-Back To Space! (Gun Robot 5) (1997)

This was announced as purely a spin off movie for Sally Go-Back to star in, but audiences were disappointed that Gun Robot stole her spotlight. Fans angrily called the movie “Gun Robot 5″ and hate it a lot. It’s a mortal sin to call the film by it’s actual title, you MUST call it Gun Robot 5 or risk forever being branded a fan of the film. To be fair, the movie itself is terrible and broke even at the box office. There were lots of toys made that sold decently, one of the main ones being the Sally doll that Toby has.

Gun Robot (Gun Robot 6) (2016)

After the flop of “Gun Robot 5″, no one in Hollywood wanted to touch the franchise. But it’s remake season, baby, and the only thing that makes money anymore is existing IPs! The sixth movie was made with love, and went back to the show’s goofy roots and was able to experiment with wilder ideas with brand new CGI technology. You either love it or you hate it, since many older fans attached themselves to the Gun Robot 4 movie or want it to be just as good as Gun Robot 2 (which is impossible at this point). And while toy lines don’t exist anymore, a fun voice changing phone app, ring tones, downloadable GPS voice reader and movie maker app were very popular and well received by consumers. Gun Robot and Sally Go-Back are also free DLC characters for video game franchises like Soul Caliber and Team Fortress 2.

Gun Robot 7 (2017-2018?)

It’s a dumpster fire. Everyone knows this movie is just really terrible and played out, but put in in theaters anyway. It’s just expensive explosions, terrible acting and new female characters in barely any clothes showing off for the camera. It’s just bad. It’s really, really bad. Well what did you expect with Michael Bay in charge?
