[dramatic music playing]

[robot] Dangerous robots from outer space
have been set loose on planet Earth.

Among them is MechaBot,
with the power to Mechanize.

He and his new master, Amato,

need to work together to find
and capture other dangerous robots.

Working together, they are…

[light music]

[exclaims] Buongiorno, signore!

Come over to Garamsey's stall.

[all] Hi, Garamsey!

-[Mara] Mm, that smells good!
-Huh?

Whoa! That satay smells delicious.

[exclaims]
I'd like to order 20 satay sticks!

[light music continues]

[Garamsey laughs]

Grazie! Grazie!

[panting] Ooh!

Yeesh. I wonder where Amato
and MechaBot are?

I thought they were gonna join us.

Oh, you know them.

If they're late, it's probably 'cause
they're busy fighting bad robots.

For sure! They'll probably be here soon.

Let's just hang tight. [burps]

Garamsey's satay is delicious!

[robot] Hey there, kids.

Those satay sticks you have,

will you give them to me
after you're done?

Oh, sure, of course! Here!

[gasps]

Oh, that's splendid. Thank you very much.

Huh?!

Robot… A bad robot!

Huh? You're calling Tok a bad robot?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Well, that's not very nice.

Huh? Is your name really Tok?

Yes, sir!

Tokang. Tokang Citra!

Hey, I just like to tell stories is all.

I'm not doing anything bad.

Hmm… But still, what brings you here, Tok?

I'm just walking along collecting
satay sticks for my show.

Huh? What kind of show?

Oh, it's a neat play using shadows.

Oh? Using shadows?

Yes. Just like this.

Oh. A shadow puppet show.

Wow, so interesting!

Sir, where can we watch
this show of yours?

Well, I am not ready yet.

Gotta wait until tonight
to see the show, I'm afraid.

Aw, man.

But… you know what, kids?

You did give me these sticks,

so I'll give you a sneak peek of the show.

Sound good?

[all] Yes, please!

[Tokang] Okay, okay, okay.

Just let me get set up.

[Tokang grunts]

[Tokang laughs]

[grunts]

[exclaims]

[vibrant music]

[all] Whoa!

Wow, guys, it's so nice of him
to give us a special preview.

Hmm.

Yeah, but we still don't know
if he's a good robot yet.

-Let's ask Rubika first.
-That's a good idea.

Huh! Let me call Amato.

Hi, my name is Bubblon.

I really like to make bubbles!

Blublublublub!

♪ And then clear out of the blue ♪

♪ A boy appeared
And ferociously attacked him ♪

-Huh?
-That's Mechamato!

Hmph. Now he's so popular.

Look, he even gets his own puppet show.

♪ Oh, yes indeed
He's a very bad boy ♪

♪ Every robot's worst enemy ♪

♪ Who is he, you ask? ♪

♪ His name is Mechamato! That's right ♪

Huh? But Mechamato isn't bad.

Ha! Perfect! There you are, Bubblon!

Let's beat him up for fun!

Yeah, bam, boom, bash!

[Tokang] Mechamato keeps hitting
poor Bubblon.

[gasps]

Bubblon tries to dodge but fails.

Owie! Ouch!

Wow, he can do
all sorts of different voices.

He's so talented!

[laughs] Well, well,
serves you right, Bubblon!

[screams] Someone, please, help!

♪ After a terrible lengthy beating ♪

♪ Our poor discouraged Bubblon
Was finally defeated ♪

Hey! Come on now,
they don't just beat up robots for fun.

What a big bunch of lies!

Relax, dude, it's just a story.

Hi-yah!

Oh no!

[grunts] The light is so bright!

Don't worry. For we will be back!

[groans] Thank you very much!

But who are you, good sir?

Oh, who I am is not important.

What's important is that you are now safe
from the threat of Mechamato.

I am happy to say that this town
is now safe for all robots!

The end.

[mysterious whirring]

Yay!

[laughs] Well, I'll just end
my little show there for now.

If you want to know what happens next,

make sure to come
to my show tonight, ya hear?

Here's a pamphlet for you.

[Deep] Wow, look! He even has pamphlets!

Okay, Tok, I will be there.

Oh, that's great.

Okay, well, it's time to get back
on the road then.

[grunts]

I'll see you tonight!

-[grunts]
-[Deep] Bye!

Guys, we've got to tell Amato.

There's a bad robot making up fake stories
to make him look bad.

Hmm, but I tried calling him several times
and he hasn't answered.

-[Amato] Help me! Help me!
-Huh? What?

Hey, Amato, where are you?

[Amato] I'm here! I'm here!

[Pian] Huh?

[ominous music]

Huh? Wait. This puppet can talk?!

[gasps] I'm not a puppet, Pian.

It's me. Amato!

[all] What? Amato?!

Yes. The bad Tokang turned us
into puppets!

[motorcycle revs]

-[rumbling, expl*si*n]
-[panicked screams]

[crowd] Run!

[bystander] A robot's chasing us!

[sinister laugh]

You wanted to eliminate stains
from your clothes?

Well, then, come.
I'll eliminate your clothes

and you at the same time.

Blublublublublub!

[expl*si*n booms]

-Stop there, Bubblon!
-[Bubblon] Huh?

MechaBot, Mechanize!

[MechaBot] Okay!

[whirring, beeping]

Mechamato Mode! MechaFan!

[grunts] Stop bothering me, you hear me?

Blublublublublub!

Blow the bubbles back at him.

[MechaBot puffing]

[wind gusts]

[Amato] Take this, you bad robot!

-[whimpering] Hey! Hey! Please don't!
-[expl*si*n booms]

[cheers] Yeah!

[MechaBot laughs]

[MechaBot] How do you like
the taste of your own bubbles?

[groans]

[laughs]

Right?

Okay, it's time for you
to get inside the Mechanizer!

[Tokang] Now hold your horses,
there's no need to fight.

Have some pity on that poor robot.

Huh? Who are you?

Bad robot Tokang detected! It is able to--

Hey now, no spoilers there, Rubika.

Now, please let me show off my own skills.

[Tokang] Hi-yah!

-[Tokang grunts]
-[mysterious music]

-[MechaBot grunts]
-[Amato] Whoa!

[Amato] It's so bright!

[sinister laugh]

Well, well. Serves you right--

Huh? Huh? Hold on,
what's happening to me?!

[Amato] What's happening? Whoa!

[Tokang] Oh, look at that.

[chuckles]

Oh! Oh no! Why am I flat now?!

[Tokang] Two more puppets for the show.

-[laughs]
-[suspenseful music]

So you see, that's how
he turned us into puppets.

Why didn't you say anything earlier?

We couldn't.

We couldn't even move or speak
when Tokang was holding us.

-[Pian] Huh?
-Yeah. That's right.

-You gotta free us quickly before he--
-Hey!

Oh, I nearly forgot about you.

Okay. You're coming with me.

[both] No! Don't! Let me go!

[both fall silent]

Huh? Hold it, Tokang! Let go of my friend!

[Pian panting] Amato!

-[Tokang] Now, hang on there, kiddo.
-[Pian yelps]

You shouldn't be meddling
in grown-up affairs.

-[mysterious whirring]
-[Pian] Huh?

[both] Pian!

[screams]

Ah, how wonderful.

Another one for my collection.

I've got a brand new story for you.

[Tokang] All right,
time to skedaddle. Bye!

Huh? We've… we've got to save them.

Oh no! Save them how?

If we get too close,

I'm afraid we'll get turned
into puppets too!

Hmm…

Huh?

[tense music]

[drums beating]

[indistinct audience chatter]

Oh, look at that.

We've got quite a crowd
coming to see our little show.

[MechaBot] Hey, Tokang!

Hey, let me go!
I'm not your personal toy puppet!

Hey now, you're not a puppet.

You're an actor.
Here to entertain the audience.

Entertaining them is one thing,
but you shouldn't force us to do it.

He's right. You even dragged me into this.

Yeah. That's right!
And I'm a robot like you!

Why did you have to
turn me into a puppet?!

Well, in every story,

you always need to have good guys
and bad guys.

Oh. Is that so? So I'm the good guy?

No! You're simply the victim.

-[MechaBot laughs]
-[Bubblon grunts]

But why are you laughing?

You are also a victim.

Okay, okay. Be quiet.

[Tokang] It's showtime!

[Amato] Hey!

[puppets grunt, falling silent]

Wow, I haven't watched one of these
in a while.

-This seems like fun.
-How true.

Remember back
when we were younger, my dear?

But I only-- [groans]

I only wanted to entertain people is all.

Was that so wrong?

It's not wrong to entertain people,

into shadow puppets next time.

Yeah, that's right.
