Robotboy S1E09: Robot Love & Brother Bjorn

Time for me to get another Robotboy review over and done with.

17. Robot Love.

Written by: Michael Rubiner.

Aired: UK: 11 November 2005. US: 4 February 2006.

Robocon, the robot convention, is in town. Robotboy and Gus convince Tommy to go to it. Gus secretly enters Robotboy into the fighting competition there. After defeating most of the opposing robots, Robotboy finds himself fighting against the beautiful robot, Mona Lethal. He doesn't fight her at first, giving her the opportunity to beat him. He eventually fights back and defeats her.

Not Bambi again! I'll get to why I hate her in a later review.

Clever disguise, Goose.

Ronald Rump. Hmmm.....his name sounds like a certain American democrat.....hmm...it's on the tip of my tongue.

 Mona Lethal. Her name sounds a lot like the name of a certain meerkat painting, Mona Lisa.

Now Tommy and Gus are fighting back!

Poor Robotboy.

Yep, another mediocre Robotboy episode. Robotboy sure doesn't know what Robocon is, even though he's a robot himself. And as for Mona Lethal's creator, he sure does have a familiar sounding name. Robotboy was just too infatuated with Mona Lethal to even fight, but fortunately, as she was about to attack Tommy and Goose, Robotboy did so. The moral was contradicted at the end too. Tommy is in love with Bambi. Ugh! The moral? Looks can be deceiving.

My rating: 5/10.

18. Brother Bjorn.

Written by: Randolph Heard.

Aired: UK: 11 November 2005. US: 4 March 2006.

A genius child named Bjorn Bjornson, a former student to Professor Moshimo wants to get Roboboy and destroy him in a fight with his own robot double, Bjornbot, to prove he's the best fighting robot in the world.

That's right, this episode, as the title implies, is the first to star Bjorn Bjornson and his robot, Bjornbot.

An incredible battle arena!

Hmm....pretty unusual for a kids' show to use the word "Sissy".

Bjornbot looks tough!

Now here's an incredible episode! The first episode to star Bjorn, and might I say, his voice sounds like a combination of Stewie from The Family Guy and Nigie Uno from Codename Kids Next Door, only with an Icelandic accent. And it sure was funny of Gus to get beaten up by Kurt, Stu and Mookie as well as Donnie at the end!

My rating: 9.5/10.

Final thoughts:

This episode was also decent. We had a mediocre one and a superb one in one. Robotboy falling for a female robot as well as Bjorn Bjornson being introduced. Decent episode overall.

Episode rating: 7.5/10.
