DWAYNE JOHNSON AND DANY GARCIA’S SEVEN BUCKS PRODUCTIONS BOARDS NACELLE’S UPCOMING ROBOFORCE ANIMATED SERIES

Los Angeles, CA – December XX 2023 – Nacelle and Seven Bucks Productions, the multi-platform production company co-founded by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia and run by Hiram Garcia, are excited to announce a partnership to co-produce the upcoming RoboForce animated series. RoboForce will be directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, who also serves as Executive Producer alongside Cisco Henson, Matt Kravitsky, Michael Goodman, Tom Stern and Gavin Hignight for Nacelle. Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia and Brian Gewirtz will serve as Executive Producers on behalf of Seven Bucks Productions.

In 2089, the latest version of Soraya Aviram’s RoboForce debuted with plans to assist a new intergalactic society on Earth. Unfortunately, the same day as the announcement, Soraya’s rival, Silas Duke, revealed his new Utopia Aegis 101 line of bots, which made RoboForce immediately obsolete. RoboForce split up and was forced into menial jobs for 15 years without hope of ever being heroes… Until mysteriously, a rogue code infected the Utopia Aegis 101’s to turn on humanity, and no one else besides Maxx 89 and the rest of RoboForce has a chance to stop them.

The series is a reunion for Nacelle and Seven Bucks Productions who most recently partnered on Behind the Attraction, a docuseries about the history and development of attractions throughout Disney’s theme parks for Disney+.

Seven Bucks Productions’ President of Production, Hiram Garcia said, “Working with Brian Volk-Weiss and Nacelle on Behind the Attraction, we appreciate their knack for bringing classic properties to the screen in a way that engages new and old fans alike, as we’ve done with projects like the Jumanji franchise. As we expand our animation division, building upon the recent success of DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS, we’re confident this excellent creative team and beloved brand will make for a must-watch series, and we can’t wait to bring it to audiences.”

Dany Garcia and Dwayne Johnson added, “We’re excited for Seven Bucks and Nacelle to partner together once again, especially to bring the iconic story of RoboForce to life. We love that it’s a story about redemption, second chances, and rising to the challenge as told through the eyes of funny, messed up, renegade robots who finally get their chance to shine. This is a great opportunity for Seven Bucks to build on its animation momentum, and we can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve got in store for them.”

“It’s one thing to dream about taking a toy from the 1980s and bringing it to life in the 21st century, but to do it with The Rock and Dany Garcia, I have to pinch myself to be reminded that it’s not a dream. As Maxx 89 would say, let’s proceed!” said Nacelle Founder and CEO, Brian Volk-Weiss.

In October 2023, Nacelle unveiled a raft of licensing deals with Funko, Oni Press, Bull Airs, and more to produce comics, graphic novels, vinyl collectibles, footwear, and other officially licensed merchandise for the RoboForce brand.

Composer and Musician, Matthew Margeson, is composing the score for RoboForce: The Animated Series, which is being animated by Cartoon Conrad (Cartoon Network’s Teen Titans Go, Netflix’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie).
In 2022, Nacelle revealed the first wave of RoboForce action figures along with plans to produce a new animated series. The first wave of toys feature Maxx 89 and Wrecker, and were received well amongst fans and collectors, with both figures currently sold out, and more being made. Wave two of the RoboForce action figure line is currently in production.

In 2023, Nacelle began reviving many beloved vintage toy lines such as RoboForce, Sectaurs, Biker Mice from Mars, Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa, The Great Garloo, and Power Lords, with new action figures that honor the rich history of their predecessors.

For years, Nacelle has been shining a spotlight on pop-culture through innovative, humorous storytelling (The Toys That Made Us, The Movies That Made Us, Behind The Attraction, Icons Unearthed, The Center Seat, A Toy Store Near You) that focuses on preserving nostalgia and nostalgic brands throughout history.
