When Lola gives Tommy three brand new robot toys in order to win his affection, she unwittingly plays into the hands of Dr. Kamikazi! When Robotboy is left alone to play with the state-of-the-art robots, they come alive, and they plead with Robotboy to help them escape human control and urge him to do the same. Of course, Kamikazi and his virtual reality equipment are laying a trap for the unwitting Robotboy.

Production notes

Robotboy is a cute, cutting-edge, butt-kicking battle robot who dreams of becoming a real boy. Created by world-renowned scientist Professor Moshimo, Robotboy has the ability to superactivate into a fighting machine capable of destroying entire armies. This attracts the attention of Doctor Kamikazi- a hopelessly deluded "evil genius"- intent on harnessing Robotboy's powers to enslave the world. So Moshimo sends Robotboy far away to live with his number one fan, Tommy Turnbull, in the peaceful Bay Area. But Dr Kamikazi continues to plot and scheme, creating mutant clone armies to capture Robotboy. And so it's up to Tommy and his two best friends, Gus and Lola, to keep the world's most powerful fighting robot out of harm's way, as well as teaching him what it truly means to be a real boy.
