Under the leadership of Slaughter Steelgrave, the Destructors were forged into a militaristic ruling caste, lording over the Protectors despite their one lack of programming to create the fortress-like city which they depended on their slaves for.
As the Starriors lived on, and their intellect advanced, they developed more defined personality traits and most took on mental gender characteristics, though with the exception of Geo, a non-toy character exclusive to the comics, their body designs were genderless. A band of Protectors, eventually joined by a few dutiful Destructors, sets out to release the humans from their overly prolonged hibernation.Įach Starrior has a Class and a Series, while several of them have a Model. Then the Protector Trashor, Nipper, discovers a human skull. Eventually, the human race and the Starriors' mission is forgotten as a reality and regarded as a myth - none of the Starriors had been activated when the humans disappeared. The leader of the Destructors, Slaughter Steelgrave, becomes craven at the thought of deactivation upon the restoration of the humans and enslaves the Protectors after what he believes to be a successful attempt to destroy all of the Guardians. The brains of the Starriors, called control circuits, are crafted in the human image. Its scientists build three Classes of intelligent robots known as Starriors, which are Protectors, to restore Earth for human use, Destructors, to ward off any potential alien invasions, and Guardians, to protect humanity after they go into a hibernative state underground and have their essences transferred into the machines. In the future, solar flares threaten all life on Earth. Consumer Reports' Penny Power, when it reported on robot toys, found them the least satisfying of all the lines covered, though it must be said that the narrative aspects of all the lines were ignored, and the magazine would extol the economic value of Gobots ("sturdy and cheap") over Transformers in later issues. Also, there was a tendency toward making new characters out of the same molds as other characters, but in different colors, which is more true of the first wave than of the second. The principal figures, the humanoid Wastors, did not transform, nor did most of the other robots in the line, though many could be disassembled and reassembled, and had motorized parts.

The Simonson series told a complete story in itself, and did not include the eight new characters. After the initial wave, it appears that there were only eight more toys produced, and only two additional minicomics, though most of the new toys came with the old ones. The toys were not commercially successful. Marvel also produced a four-issue limited series written by Louise Simonson, with art by Michael Chen, Ian Akin, and Brian Garvey, and covers painted by Bill Sienkiewicz. Six Marvel mini-comics were distributed with the toys. It was a sub-line from Zoids, but it had a new storyline that was different to Zoids. Zoids: Starriors was a robot toyline created by Tomy in association with Marvel Comics in 1984. ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
