Synopsis[]

When a hapless tabloid journalist (Cosgrove) sees Robotboy fighting robot bugs in the sky, he sees tomorrows ‘front pages’ and a chance to make a name for himself! His trail leads him across the path of Tommy and friends, Gus’s slightly odd family and Dr Kamikazi…but no one seems to know anything about fighting robots! Kamikazi concocts a plan to leak pictures of Robotboy’s, recent escapade to the national press and force the government to act. He is positive that it will be much easier to steal Robotboy from Government agents, than from Tommy and his friends! With Robotboy seized by agents and locked up in the mysterious Area 57 building, with all kind of hideous beasts, will Kamikazi’s plan work..? Will Tommy be able to rescue Robotboy…? And will Cosgrove get the photographic evidence that will finally establish his reputation!!!?
