Roboroach is a fictional animation series that was broadcasted on the AmebaTV from 2001 to 2004. This show was initially created by Canadian firm Shaftesbury Films in partnership with Nelvana Enterprises and Swinway Films as a science fiction animation series aimed at juveniles, and it later gained a significant following among children. The show follows the adventures of two insects, Dwayne and Brian, who undergo transformation from ordinary cockroaches to animate machines after their curiosity makes them come in contact with a mysterious substance in a science laboratory. Roboroach was a unique show that attracted a significant fan base due to its distinctive and innovative ideas of mixing science-fiction and insects, as well as excellent storytelling techniques.

The characters in the show are cockroaches that have undergone artificial modifications, which made them super-powered creatures. Dwayne and Brian are the main characters, and they are accompanied by other anthropomorphic animals like Alice and Mr. Head. The show portrays them in their daily endeavours of saving their allies from danger while grappling with their newfound abilities. Dwayne and Brian are the brains behind the team since they're the ones who have technical knowledge to build and modify their robotic parts, which help them accomplish missions.

Unlike other children's shows, Roboroach often addresses social issues like bullying, environmental conservation and issues related to peer pressure. The show focuses on portraying the cockroaches as brave, intelligent and resourceful, and it teaches children to have empathy towards living creatures that are generally looked down upon.

Roboroach is known for its effective use of bright colours, smooth animation, and excellent graphics, which give it a fresh and visually appealing touch.

The show’s plotline is exciting and full of action. The two protagonists, Dwayne and Brian, always find themselves on missions that require their unique abilities. Their missions often involve rescuing their friends from hazardous situations such as toxic chemical spills, volcanoes, and floods. The cockroaches' physical strength, gadgetry, and their ability to fly make them an essential addition to any rescue mission. For instance, in one episode, the cockroaches are on a mission to save Alice, who is trapped in an avalanche. They employ their various robotic parts to help them traverse the snow and rescue their friend.

The show's production values are impressive. The attention to details of how the characters move, fly, and interact with their environment is exceptional. The use of advanced technology makes it easy for the cockroaches to use various gadgets such as laser blasters and jet packs. The production team succeeded in creating a realistic world for the characters, which makes it easy for children to connect to the characters and relate to the situations they find themselves in.
