Synopsis[]

Arriving at the Asylum on Phobos, Magnus discovers that powerful, new robots have taken over and murdered the inmates. Only Izak survives to learn with Magnus that these are robots from Malev-6, out to conquer Earth in retaliation for Magnus's destruction of their own robot planet. Captured by the Malev Emperor, Magnus must watch helplessly as the evil robots launch their all-out invasion on North Am!^[1]

Quotes[]

No. This meat has very little potential. Kill it. Reduce it to elements. Recycle.

-- Malev Robot

I'm going to explain this just once. I'm Magnus. I'm looking for the human inhabitants of this moon. Give me that information or I'll tear you apart.

-- Magnus

Identification confirmed. Intercept, immobilize. Bring to Emperor.

-- Malev Robot

Meat is dangerous. Snap legs. Snap spine. Bring to Emperor.

-- Malev Robot

I've been reasonable. I'm tired of being reasonable. I will not allow this!

-- Magnus

Great pain...! Great pain from far off! It was... it was Magnus but... far away, as if he wasn't even on Earth! There was something else, M'ree! Something terrible is coming! For all of North Am, maybe for all of the Earth! It's coming! Oh, M'ree! Suddenly, I'm just so scared...!

-- Leeja

Earth will become Malev-7. First North Am will fall, then all your planet.

-- Malev Emperor

That you will never serve us -- of this we are certain. The rest is highly doubtful. However, as you serve no purpose whatever in our plans, your intentions are moot. We give you permission to die. Farewell, Robot Fighter.

-- Malev Emperor
