-The episode begins with [[characters:​dr elefun|Dr. O'​Shay]],​ trying to bring a humanoid child robot (known only as "[[character:​toby|Tobio]]"​) to life. However, there is a lack of power, prevented him from completely charging Tobio, so O'Shay phones the nearby Magnamite Power Station, a power station whose generator is a giant spider-like robot named Magnamite. As a consequence,​ Magnamite has to stop providing power to the rest of the city and instead transfer all the power to the Ministry of Science, causing a mass blackout. Just when Tobio was almost charged, a wire broke. O'​Shay'​s colleagues all wanted to abandon the project but O'Shay refused, claiming they had already gone too far, and the project must be completed, and successfully pulling off a risky move that has him going and manually plugging in the wire. Thus, Tobio is charged ("​revived"​). O'Shay thinks that as this is Tobio'​s "new life", he should need a new name, eventually going with "​[[characters:​Astro]]"​ after reading a label of the company that produced the charger. Afterwards, O'Shay convinced some scientists to come and see Astro, yet they all leave unimpressed,​ especially from the robot'​s lack of functions (and weapons). However, unknown to the scientists, Astro is already learning rapidly. O'​Shay'​s assistant [[characters:​Yuko]] with a flamingo-like robot named Momo and tells him that he is late; therefore O'​Shays leaves Astro alone with the robot [[characters:​Nora]]. ​+The episode begins with [[characters:​dr elefun|Dr. O'​Shay]],​ trying to bring a humanoid child robot (known only as "[[characters:​toby|Tobio]]"​) to life.
