Overview

An American kid named Joey lives in Center City, USA & has always wanted to become a hero. Unfortunately, he's just an orphan working part-time to support his grandma and himself. After he watched a commercial of a new robot action figure, Joey believe he'll gain strength if he obtains one. The only robot toy he can get his hands on is a broken one that was abandoned by a rich school bully. Feeling pity for the trashed action figure, Joey took it home to repair it. Little did he know, that once he repairs the toy, it'll make his hero dream become a reality.
