Show Summary

High school drama meets giant robot battles in this new Cartoon Network offering from the creator of Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack. Sym-Bionic Titan follows the lives of Ilana, Lance, and Octus, the three aliens that crash-landed on Earth while attempting to escape the evil General Modula who has taken over their home planet, Galaluna. Ilana, princess of Galaluna, Lance, a rebellious but capable soldier, and Octus, a bio-cybernetic robot, must now blend into everyday life in Sherman, Illinois. Posing as high school students, Lance and Octus work to conceal Princess Ilana from General Modula and his hideous space mutants called the Mutraddi sent to harm the sole royal heir of Galaluna. This motley trio makes a real effort to navigate high school life, all while saving the planet and themselves from an onslaught of intergalactic attacks. In their everyday forms, Ilana and Lance act as brother and sister, while Octus portrays dual roles of father at home and their friend Newton at school. When called into battle, the Galalunians are outfitted with individual armor that provides more than ample protection. It's when the gravest of danger appears that Octus activates the sym-bionic defense program and Ilana, Lance and Octus come together to form the spectacular cyber-giant Sym-Bionic Titan. It is in this form that they battle the most evil of beasts.moreless

  • CANCELLED? WHY!

    By MarkizzMax, Mar 11, 2013
    This show was awesome.

    Its so dumb that it was cancelled because this animated show had a great story and always made me laugh and wanting more.

    Cartoon Network should bring it back on Toonami or at least online.

  • This Show can be so much more

    I have never seen a cartoonnetwork show quite like SBT. This show remined me how we could use animtion, to tell mature stories without discarding our imagination. A series full of characters that you cannot help but get into, and a story so creative that watching it stimulates your imagination, giving you that urge to run to the back yard, pick up a stick a become a warrior again. I don't know if this show is getting a second season but, I know i sure hope it does. Trust me, I will be flipping through the channels with my pealed for it.moreless

  • Good Story, Good Charachters, Cartoon Network didn't know what they were pulling off the air.

    I really don't know why cartoon network pulled such a great show off the air. This show had great story, animation, character depth and most of all it was entertaining. The show follows the lives of three two humans named Lance and a princess named Ilana as well as a robot named Octus, who had to escape their own planet from a group who wanted to destroy the royal kingdom. Forced to hide on Earth Lance, Ilana, and Octus are forced to adjust to work hard to adjust and fit in to the life of human and teenage culture while at the same time trying to fight off most of the alien army who managed to also land on Earth and who are constantly after them. They are able to fight off these aliens using a robot ( Sym-Bionic Titan). This show was fantastic! I remember always wanting to know what would happen in the next story, particularly with the character Lance. It is believed that the show was pulled off because they couldn't make any toys, but I find that absolutely inexcusable and a pathetic excuse to cancel the show, and am sure it was due to creative differences among the creator and the network (at least that is what I have heard). Hopefully the show will come back on the air.moreless

  • Giant Robots, Aliens, and Perhaps one of the harshest American Cartoon ever to exist.

    9.0
    By BattleChili1, Jan 02, 2013
    This show was unfortunately cancelled by Cartoon Network. Common theory was was that toys couldn't be sold for it, but upon further research, this seems to be false. The show had a fairly good story going, action and animation that couldn't be easily competed against by other shows, cool characters, and a nice sort of humor thrown in for good measure, to make sure things didn't get too serious. The art style is unique, and while some may not like it, it's refreshing to see something a bit unique looking out there. The show holds some similarites to many existing anime, and it even has some suggestive content for anyone who remembers the "Shake Shake Booty Quake" episode, which was rather surprising for a show made for children. Still nothing too harsh, but I'd like to add that this show has blood in it. Yes, you read it right, blood. In an American cartoon. I give Genndy Tartakovsky, this show's creator, props for that. However, Cartoon Network held back Genndy from doing what he wanted with this show, and the show was never finished, so it carries that flaw.moreless

  • Simply fantastic

    There simply isn't much to say about this show, as words cannot do the show justice, and the show sadly did not last very long at all.

    What I can say, the art is great, with a perfectly-blended mix of CGI and 2D drawings. The animation is very smooth and compliments the action. The backgrounds are astonishingly beautiful as well, and there is quite a bit of detail in everything.

    The show itself, billed as a mixture of high-school drama and giant robot battles, merges the two genres (though keeping them separate most of the time) and succeeds in doing both well. The drama part contains a lot of memorable characters, good plotlines and great character development. The action speaks for itself.

    The characters all are unique, and interactions are great. Sadly, due to the show being short-lived, the backstories of secondary characters (and Octus) weren't explored, but that shouldn't be a fault of the series.

    I can't add a good conclusion here, so I'll just leave this message: This show is superior to any action show on Cartoon Network in the present or past, and should be brought back immediately.moreless
