In Closing...
Well, the obvious answer to all the cliffhangers would be YES of course! In the final episode, the Orbots removed a section of the feeder tube from the particle collector that feeds to the main gun and sent a power bolt of their own sending the built up energy
back into the main control center (Mr. Werag was not at all happy!). The resulting backlash of power blew up the control center, which in turn started a chain reaction that first destroyed the Shadow Fortress, then the Shadow Star itself!
Umbra… well, what’s to say about Umbra? As he melted away on a computer screen we hear him bantering about getting his revenge and that he will return to avenge himself. That would be hard to do, seeing the series never got the chance for him to do so.
As for what Rob had been doing, it would seem that Tor (of all Orbots) was correct all along – Rob was busy working on a big birthday celebration for his robots. He had never planned on replacing them – the plans Ono had found had been for the prototypes, which were scrapped in lieu of better uprated models, the current Orbots!
As the series concluded, a set of birthday cakes are extended out of a mechanical compartment to each Orbot. The final shot is of Ono blowing out her candle.
Oh well…
It went out with a whimper!
But it was really a great series!
