Development
The series began with the working title of Dr. Frankenstein Jr. and Uggle Dubbly, about a scientist named Dr. G.G. Frankenstein Jr. who built a robot called Uggle Dubbly. At the last minute, a son was added. The concept was partly inspired by the television series Gigantor; an English adaptation of the Japanese Tetsujin 28-go anime.
