Although it was titled after the Bandai -owned Robo Machine toyline, it primarily used the Tonka -owned names of the Gobots which were later incorporated into Hasbro 's Transformers. The characterizations, however, were original, and the plot wildly diverges from the American -made Challenge of the GoBots. In Europe, Bandai, rather than Tonkadistributed the action figures from the Robo Machine line, and with the Challenge of the Gobots cartoon yet to arrive in the UK, they engaged Fleetway Publishing to create a comic to help promote the line.
The art was initially handled by Mario Capaldiwith Kim Raymond taking over midway through the first of the two arcs. The comic was set in a different continuity to the Gobots cartoon, with the characters hailing from the planet Robotron, and some character names reflecting the European line for example, the Renegade Twin Spin appeared as the Guardian Carry-Alland the Renegade Vamp was named Casmodon.
There, a power-hungry scientist named Stron-Domez has modified two criminal Robo Machines, Cy-Kill and Tankso they can transform into vehicles. After an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate the President of Robotron, Stron-Domez takes his creations to Earthwhich he had identified in being rich in minerals robo tron x robot man 3 build more transforming Robo Robo tron x robot man 3.
After a botched contact with the British Armythe Security Forces track Stron-Domez to robo tron x robot man 3 electronics factory in Birminghamwhere Stron-Domez has taken the workforce hostage, and forced them to build more Robo Machines for him.
Stron-Domez is able to escape on Cy-Kill robo tron x robot man 3 the police arrive on the scene, though all his other troops are robo tron x robot man 3 and disabled by the Security Forces. With most of his Robo Machines deactivated by the Security Forces, Stron-Domez experiments upon himself, and is able to modify his body so he becomes the massive robot Zod.
This attracts the Security Forces, but Zod is able to attack the Command Centre, and force it into robo tron x robot man 3. However, the Security Forces robot Carry-All accidentally tracks them to their junkyard base, only to be mortally wounded by Zod. The Security Forces leave one of their number, Scooterwith Charlie on board the Command Centre, but the human has a premonition of great danger, and persuades Scooter to follow them.
The premonition is correct — the massive Casmodon is incredibly powerful, and in a pitched battle on the edge of London easily holds off the Security Forces attack, inflicting heavy losses on both them and the human population. Casmodon also captures Charlie, but while inside the Robo Machine he is able to destroy vital circuitry, temporarily disabling his captor.
The Security Forces then retreat to the Command Centre, and withdraw to Robotron to regroup, taking Charlie whose parents were the only family he had, and thus has nothing to stay on Earth for with them. Cy-Kill swears to build an army and invade the planet himself. The serial was obviously curtailed before Tully had intended, as the ending, with Cy-Kill, Casmodon and Zod unopposed on Earth and the Security Forces in retreat, is highly unusual.
