Teenager Ariston lives a nomadic life with his adoptive mother Feronia and their workbot Mangle. They make their living drilling for machine oil, a trade technically illegal since their desert wasteland of a planet is under the control of an oppressive regime that lays claim to all its scarce resources. When Ariston sneaks out with Mangle one day to watch his new friends do a practice session of the popular bot-fighting sport Robozuna, his caravan is attacked and Feronia is taken prisoner. Feronia leaves Ariston a chip that upgrades Mangle's intelligence, and Ariston joins his friends' Robozuna team while searching for a way to save Feronia.

!! This show provides examples of:
* {{Expy}}: Mangle's voice, face, expressions, and protectiveness of his human are strikingly similar to [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant another robot...]]
* RobotBuddy: Mangle. Ariston explicitly calls him his best friend on several occasions, even before the upgrade.
