Synopsis

Tommy's dad wins a free fishing trip (supplied courtesy of Dr. Kamikazi). A reluctant Tommy, Gus and Donnie accompany him, and they embark on what turns out to be a somewhat perilous trip. On board the boat, Tommy battles his seasickness, Gus feasts on sugar-coated squid, and Donnie steals Robotboy to use as bait! This plays right into the hand of Dr. Kamikazi, who's lurking below the surface in his dastardly contraption, the Kazi-Whale, which duly gobbles up Robotboy. Tommy must now decide whether to lose Robotboy to the evil Dr. Kamikazi or risk activating him in front of Donnie and his father...

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.
