Synopsis

Robotboy drops Tommy, Gus and Lola in the woods during a battle with Kamikazi. On landing in the wilderness, Gus decides that he has all the acumen of a fearsome hunter and general outdoorsman. When Robotboy rejoins the group, they discover that his batteries are too low for activation and that, therefore, they cannot fly them to safety. Meanwhile, Kamikazi and Constantine are also stranded in the woodland! However, rather than worry about his safety, the evil doctor is busy turning the local wildlife into Robotboy hunters! When the kids and a fully uncharged Robotboy bump into Kamikazi and his creations, there seems like no escape until the master outdoorsman steps in!

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.
