It is up to our heroes to find some way to rescue the hostages taken during the Gundamjacking and stop Wa-Lee from destroying their headquarters.
No relation to the [[Series/RobotWars TV series]] that came out later.

!! ''Robot Wars'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: The last of the HumongousMecha (a SpiderTank) is used to ferry tourists across an American wasteland. Then, a YellowPeril villain does a GrandTheftPrototype and starts using its to lay waste to everything around him. He also holds the tourists hostage. The pilot of the mech goes looking for a weapon, left over from an old war, inside a pyramid and ends up finding an intact humanoid mech. He uses it to fight the spider-mech and free the hostages.
* ChinaTakesOverTheWorld: Implied. It's never stated what country the "Eastern Alliance" is made up of, but the characters who are shown to be from there have Chinese-sounding names.
* DolledUpInstallment: The DVD release calls it ''Robot Jox 2''. It doesn't take place in the same universe as ''Film/RobotJox'' but has a similar look due to both being handled by the same effects company.
* GiantMecha: Of the RealRobot variety, including a [[SpiderTank Scorpion Tank]].
* HiddenDepths: Drake turns out to be surprisingly adept at Kendo.
* JapaneseTourist: Notably, a tourist whose camera is actually a gun in disguise.
* RagnarokProofing: Towards the film's climax, it is revealed that the secret weapon that is buried beneath Crystal Vista, believed to just be a powerful laser cannon, is in fact an entire intact GiantMecha that had previously been thought destroyed.
* RidiculousFutureSequelisation: There was a background gag where a group of people are walking through an abandoned city, and you can see a theater marquee with something like ''Puppet Master 57''.
