Synopsis
When Robotboy sees Tommy crying, he, too, wants to be able to cry in order to become more like a real boy. Kamikazi sees this as a good opportunity to capture Robotboy, as "crying" would use up Robotboy's oil and thereby incapacitate him, so he invites Tommy and Gus to see a sad play. While Tommy and Gus are bored to tears, Robotboy sheds tears as he relates to the story. When all his oil dries up, Kamikazi steals Robotboy, and he reprograms him to serve his evil needs! Robotboy and Kamikazi's ant clones try to finish Tommy once and for all, while Gus hides in Kamikazi's fridge!

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.
