One-time Moshimo protégé Bjorn Bjornsson witnesses Robotboy's urge to become a real boy, and he advertises his services to turn robots into humans.

On arrival, Bjorn preps Robotboy for the operation that will turn him into a boy called Bobby! When Moshimo and Tommy arrive, not only have they got to rescue Robotboy from Bjorn and his fearsome robot Brother Bjorn, but they must also convince Robotboy that Bjorn is lying! A battle of power and trust ensues. The only question is: who will prevail?

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.
