Synopsis

Dwight sees some sporting potential in Tommy, and he enters him into a tetherball competition. With a little help from Robotboy, Tommy triumphs, impressing Dwight and, more importantly... Bambi! It's not long before Dwight has quit his job to become Tommy's full-time coach, and a reluctant Tommy is sent to compete in the Grand Nationals. When Bambi phones to express her love of winners, Tommy is forced to enlist more help from Robotboy. Kamikazi latches onto the tetherball fever, and he decides that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest tetherball level. At the Grand Nationals, Tommy and Kamikazi cheat their way to the final, while Constantine oversees the hot dog cart robots, who are on a mission to capture 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.
