In the future....

After losing his only son in a car accident, a genius scientist

named Dr. Tenma created a robot in memory of his son.

This robot was a scientific wonder unlike any other robot that

existed.

He had six super abilities including 100,000 horsepower strength,

rocket-powered feet, and the Omega Factor, which allowed him to

experience human emotions.

The people are now trying to destroy the robots, causing the

robotic race to rebel.

Underneath it all, someone is plotting a scheme to create even

more tension and ultimately bring war.

Throughout the world, large numbers of robots were created to

assist humans, however, the human race soon became afraid of

the robots’ capabilities.
