Production

Production on the film took place in the Philippines. According to director Ian Barry, the film had a troubled production with Barry commenting:

<blockquote>Robo Warriors added a new dimension to Murphy’s Law; everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. From bribes, standover threats, feuding film family fisticuffs on set, to you name it. Everything was by the seat of the pants.</blockquote>

The visual effects and miniatures were created by Stargate Films under the direction of Sam Nicholson. Unlike the predecessor films Robot Jox and Robot Wars which used stop motion provided by David W. Allen for their giant robot effects, Robo Warriors utilized suit performers for its mecha scenes.

Release

Robo Warriors was released direct-to-video in the United States on August 25, 1998. The film was released on Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome in 2025.
