THE COSMIC CIRCUS
By Douglas Booth & Donald F. Glut
The circus is coming! And the Orbots not only want to go to it, they want to join it! But trouble is afoot!
As the space train approaches Earth (Galaxy Express 999 anyone?) it makes a wrong turn, and is stopped by the Galaxy Patrol's Tractor Beams. After a quick correction for the misunderstanding and clearance by Dia, the ship is released. But the Ringmaster sends his space train into a power dive, all to lure Mighty Orbots to rescue them! After they manage to catch and safely land all the coaches and cars, the Ringmaster converts his train into the tents and rides of his sideshow and in 'gratitude' invites the Orbots and the rest of the Galaxy Patrol to visit the Cosmic Circus.
Rondu senses something strange about the circus. He orders the Orbots to go undercover as “The Flying Roboties” and find out what they can. In their search, Boo and Ono discover that the Ringmaster is actually an agent of Shadow, and is plotting to kidnap key members of the Galactic Patrol who have the authority to override the GP’s master computer, which would allow Shadow to invade.
Using the circus’ “House of Mirrors” the Ringmaster makes duplicates of five officers and Dia. The real officers find themselves trapped within the glass while their duplicates return to GP Headquarters.
There they set the computer to allow Umbra to download himself into it. Can the Orbots save Dia and the other officers, plus quell a stampede of released circus beasts before the mirrors break and Umbra takes over?
GO! MIGHTY ORBOTS! to the next story...
