Sym-Bionic Titan is an American animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky (in his fourth collaboration with the channel), Bryan Andrews and Paul Rudish for Cartoon Network. The series focuses on a trio consisting of the alien princess Ilana, the strict but rebellious alien soldier Lance, and the robot Octus, who arrive on Earth and combine themselves to create the titular Sym-Bionic Titan.
A preview of the series was first shown at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International,[1] and further details were revealed at Cartoon Network's 2010 upfront.[2][3] The series premiered on September 17, 2010, and ended on April 9, 2011, with a total of 20 episodes as ordered by the channel; Tartakovsky had hoped to expand on that,[4] but the series was not renewed for a second season, as it "did not have any toys connected to it".[5]
While Sym-Bionic Titan has never been released to DVD in the United States, all 20 episodes were available for purchase on iTunes and the Microsoft Store. On October 7, 2012, reruns of the series began airing on Adult Swim's Toonami block along with the 2011 television series of ThunderCats[6][7] until Cartoon Network wrote-off Sym-Bionic Titan for financial reasons in September 2014. The series was later released on Netflix in 2019, but was removed from the service in December 2020.[8]
Billed as "an exciting hybrid of high school drama and giant robot battles", Sym-Bionic Titan features "the adventures of three beings from the planet Galaluna who crash-land on Earth while attempting to escape their war-torn world". The series follows the lives of Lance (voiced by Kevin Thoms), Ilana (voiced by Tara Strong) and Octus (voiced by Brian Posehn), two alien teenagers and a robot respectively in the form of humanoids living on Earth, an "identical" planet to Galaluna, while fleeing an evil general who has taken over their home planet with the help of monstrous creatures called Mutraddi. Ilana is the kind princess of the Galalunan royal family, Lance is a dark-hearted but capable soldier and Octus is a bio-cybernetic robot created by Ilana's father to protect her: all three having to now pose as normal high school students to blend into everyday life in Sherman, Illinois so Lance and Octus can conceal Ilana from General Modula (Don Leslie) and his hideous space mutants sent to kill the sole heir of Galaluna and complete his conquest.
When called into battle, the Galalunans are outfitted with individual armor that provides more than ample protection. It is when the gravest of danger appears that Octus activates the sym-bionic defense program and he, Ilana, and Lance unite "Heart (Ilana), Body (Lance) and Mind (Octus)" and come together to form the spectacular cyber-giant, Sym-Bionic Titan.
An episode of Samurai Jack with a similar plot, "Jack and the Flying Prince and Princess" (which had two aliens and a robot fleeing to seek help for their planet), may have also provided inspiration for the show. Tara Strong also voiced the princess in said episode.
Tartakovsky came up with Octus and the high-school setting first and later, together with co-creators Paul Rudish and Bryan Andrews, added Ilana and Lance as the protagonists. The creators of the show took a long time to develop the female lead: "A positive strong female character is something I've always wanted to create".
Tartakovsky had called Sym-Bionic Titan "the most challenging project I have ever done".[4] Despite airing on Cartoon Network, Tartakovsky stated that he "doesn't consider Sym-Bionic Titan a kids show".[4]
In March 2011, it was announced that Cartoon Network has cancelled Sym-Bionic Titan due to the show being unable to acquire a toy license.[9] Adult Swim's Tumblr later revealed that both Beware the Batman and Sym-Bionic Titan were both written off by the network in September 2014.[10]
In February 2017, Tartakovsky mentioned that, during an interview about the revival of Samurai Jack on Adult Swim, he could also return to Cartoon Network someday and bring Sym-Bionic Titan back in order to end the story of season one and resolve its cliffhanger in the style of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim.[12] Ilana and Octus later made cameo appearances in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Crossover Nexus", with Tara Strong reprising her role as Ilana.
General Steel launches an all-out assault on G3's mobile airship base with his new Hammer robot, and it's up to Lance and Ilana to stop it. The battle is soon interrupted when three Mutraddi monsters attack three parts of the world simultaneously. During the battle, the mysterious and shadowed leader of G3 successfully reboots Octus. Overjoyed to have their dearest friend and "father" back, they reform Sym-bionic Titan; defeating all three monsters with ease. At the end of the day, the trio search for G3, who have disappeared, apparently gone into hiding. Soon after, Octus sends Kimmy a text that he will be home soon which brings tears to her eyes, as they head back to Sherman.
Sym-Bionic Titan received two nominations at the 38th Annie Awards in 2011: Stephen DeStefano for Best Character Design in a Television Production; and Scott Wills for Best Production Design in an Animated Television Production.[28]
The entire series was released on DVD in Australia from Madman Entertainment on April 6, 2016, five years after the show's cancellation.[29] The show was made available for streaming on Netflix in December 2019, but was later removed from the service the following year.[8] Although Sym-Bionic Titan has never been released to DVD or Blu-ray in the United States, all 20 episodes were also available on iTunes and the Microsoft Store in SD.
The series was positively received. Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media said that the series had "action, adventure, and positive messages for tweens." She argued that while there is cartoon violence, the show has positive like Ilana, describing her a "role model-worthy main female character." She also noted that there is a "gentle side to the show" which makes it different from "many action-adventure cartoons for kids."[30]
Heres a thread to talk about the short lived show: Sym-Bionic Titan. Heres the plot:Billed as "an exciting hybrid of high school drama and giant robot battles", Sym-Bionic Titan features "the adventures of three beings from the planet Galaluna who crash-land on Earth while attempting to escape their war-torn world." The series follows the lives of Ilana, Lance, and Octus, two alien teens and a robot in the form of humanoids who arrive on Earth, an "identical" planet to Galaluna, while fleeing an evil general who has taken over their home planet with the help of monstrous creatures called Mutraddi.The three main characters include Ilana, princess of the royal family; Lance, a rebellious but capable soldier; and Octus, a bio-cybernetic robot, all of whom 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 sent to kill the sole heir of Galaluna. When called into battle, the Galalunans are outfitted with individual armor that provides more than ample protection. It is when the gravest of danger appears that Octus activates the sym-bionic defense program and he, Ilana, and Lance unite "Heart, Body and Mind" and come together to form the spectacular cyber-giant Sym-Bionic Titan.Well, first of all, i would like to say this show aired on the day of my birthday(september 17). But i didnt watch it at that time, then one friday night, i think i got home from the store and bought one of the bionicle STARS sets(can't remember which one), while i was building it, the channel was on cartoon netowrk, and the show was on. I started watching it and it was really good. Then i got really into it and waited every night for a new episodes to air. so yeah, thats my story. oh and it supposedly takes place in Sherman, Illinois, and illinois is the state i live in, it was kinda like this show was MADE for me, because it first aired on my brithday, it took place in Illinois, and i was kinda in to the idea of giant robots. So yeah, thats me, what are you opinions of the show? Too bad it got cancelled, I was mad when i heard it, so many answers were unanswered.
Yeah, I absolutely loved Sym-Bionic Titan. The plot, while a little stereotypical, had a lot of cool references to popular culture and older cartoons, such as Samurai Jack, and a good sense of humor. It had a pretty good following too, until it got cut due to "lack of merchandising." If anyone actually understands what that means, please explain.
Lastly I wanted to bring up a matter of pure coincidence. A theme of Sym-Bionic Titan is the combination of heart, mind and body. What show also has titan in the title and shares this theme? Thankfully the cross over already exists.
The Jock and Kimmy...
- Will find out about Sym Bionic Titan and somehow become a part of it, creating a Five-Man Band with Lance, Illana, and Octus. Why else would we get a shot of them at the begining when our three heroes are crashing toward Earth? Also, in Episode 10, Kimmy developed a crush on Octus, so it may lead to this.
- That would be AWESOME! And you know every Humongous Mecha show needs a Five-Man Band.
- So what would they be? We've already got heart, body, and mind.
- Will, Spirit, Guts... I'm betting on "spirit" for Kimmy for reasons that should be obvious ("school spirit").
- Wouldn't both of those technically be covered under "heart?"
- Heart, Body, Mind, Booty, Something...
- I would be quite disappointed if that gray skinned jock didn't serve some kind of purpose later on.
- Alternatively, maybe Lance and Ilana are captured later, and Octus will have to recruit Meat and Kimmy as the new body and heart for Titan.
- It is based on Japanese mecha anime shows, so its quite clear a Mecha Expansion Pack will come along at some point, so they're very good choices for it.
