Robo-Samurai vs. Mondo-Bot
Episode Numeral: XLI
Original air date: 06/21/03
Jack's travels have him arriving at the ruined city of Andromeda, where he has a near-fatal encounter with Mondo-Bot, the humongous, robotic once-protector of the city. After the city's friendly robot survivors rescue him, Jack follows the robots' clues and discovers an ancient stone samurai golem, which he merges with to fight and destroy Mondo-Bot and save Andromeda.
Tropes
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Averted with the robotic residents of Andromeda, who rescue Jack after his first encounter with Mondo-Bot, nurse him back to health, and point him in the direction of the Robo-Samurai. Played straight with Mondo-Bot, who was built as a protector of Andromeda before it turned and started wrecking everything.
- Humongous Mecha: Mondo-Bot is massive, dwarfing the various skyscrapers around it, making it easily the biggest foe Jack has gone up against at this point. Thankfully for Jack, the Robo-Samurai is just as big, and perfect for taking it down.
- More Dakka: The Mondo-Bot has a huge armory of weapons at it's disposal, including hundreds of guns that fire bullets the size of cars, hundreds of explosive missiles, a giant green Eye Beam, and a powerful plasma shot that that obliterates everything around it's target. The Mondo-Bot fires all of this at the Robo-Samurai, however...
- No-Sell: ...The Robo-Samurai doesn't even budge when hit with any of this, with only the Eye Beam being able to leave a single mark.
