MAGNETIC MENACE
(Pilot)
By Michael Reaves & Kimme Ringwald
The starship of Dragos and Drax, a pair of interstellar rock stars, is caught in a meteor storm. Rondu, the commander of the Galactic Patrol, sends Mighty Orbots to save the ship.
After clearing a path through the rocks, the ‘grateful’ pop-idols offers the Orbots free passes to their concert on the moon. The Orbots accept the invitation, and head back to base.
But all is not as it appears. Dragos and Drax are in reality Shadow Agents working for Umbra, the evil computer bent on conquerring the known universe. And the concert is to be used to release Umbra’s latest attempt.Prior to the concert’s start, Bo and Boo sneak backstage to the dressing rooms. At first Dragos and Drax try to shoo them away. But, after noticing the Galactic Patrol insignia on the two Orbots, ‘give’ the girls a free show. They play a hypnotic song that puts the two Orbots to sleep.
The concert starts. Using their weird music, Dragos and Drax create a monster composed of Electro-magnetic waves, and sends it off to attack Earth.
They then escape to their ship, using a flight platform made from the concert’s stage. Dia, daughter of Commander Rondu, and who was in the audience, dons a flight pack, and follows close behind.
Onboard Dragos and Drax’s ship, the two rogue rock stars awaken their captives, and start grilling them for information about Mighty Orbots. But Dia gets the drop on them by shutting off the ship’s gravity. She captures the two Shadow Agents, and releases Bo and Boo. The two Orbots, who claim to have paperwork to do, quickly leave.
Meanwhile, the monster reaches the Earth, just as Tor,
Bort and Crunch are heading towards the moon to see the now shut down concert. They all get caught in the monster’s magnetic pull, and smash into the creature’s hide. And as the girls arrive, they too hit the beast. It’s up to Rob, Ono and the Beam Car to find a way to defeat this monster, and save the Earth. But how can Mighty Orbots do this if it’s stuck to the side of the creature?
