Astro
A miraculous super-robot with the world’s greatest artificial
intellegence and the soul of a human being. Pure-hearted
with a strong will for justice, Astro may be small but he
confronts gigantic foes. Astro is gifted with special abilities
that are even unknown to Dr. O'Shay. These abilities will be
revealed as Astro matures.
hen his son died in a tragic car accident, Dr. Tenma,
a brilliant robotics engineer, created a super-human
robot in his son's image, named Astro. Dr. Tenma
believed that robots would some day rule the world, and
created Astro with abilities unlike any other robot.
Another brilliant scientist, Dr. O'Shay, envisioned a different
kind of world where robots and humans could coexist. He
opposed Dr. Tenma's motivation for creating Astro and later
took custody of him. Dr. O'Shay decided to raise him as a
symbol of peace, hoping to remove once and for all the negative feelings associated with robots.
Astro now lives in Metro City, under the great care of Dr.
O'Shay. Unfortunately, the city is suffering from a series of
raids at the hands of evil robots, and they consider Astro
their enemy. To stop this injustice, Astro and Dr. O'Shay must
fight to bring peace back to Metro City.
