Robotboy S4E13: The Return of Robotgirl & Momma's Boy + Season 4 overall + Series overall

Now's the time for me to wrap up my Robotboy reviews once and for all by reviewing the final episode! Did this series go out on a high note? Let's find out!



103. The Return of Robotgirl.
Written by: Robert Mittenthal and Michael Rubiner.
Aired: 27 September 2008.

At a night at Tommy's yard, he and his friends are having a sleepover with their tents. When the boys where making shadow puppets they suddenly get frightened by a little spider and runs away until they get inside Lola's tent. Gus prefer not to be inside since he find the tent of Lola's too girly and so do Tommy and Robotboy (though he could just be following Tommy). Suddenly something from the sky hits on top of a hill and the boys are going for it to take a look. They find a mechanical box, Tommy removes from where it landed, opens it up and inside they find a little pink robot which Robotboy explain that it is Robotgirl. They activate her and she show them a holographic message with Professor Moshimo and Tommy suspects that he is in trouble while seeing if Robotgirl can help them find him. Unfortunately she seems to misunderstand their asking due to her emotion chip got broken and punches Gus for no reason.
At Tommy's bedroom the boys are trying to fix her as much as possible, until Gus makes Robotgirl to cry for his own help. When Robotboy comforts Robotgirl he makes fun of Gus and Gus becomes mad and they start arguing to each other. Suddenly Lola appears and comforts Robotgirl by herself and takes with her to her tent. Tommy reminds Lola to ask Robotgirl to find out about Moshimo.
After Lola has comforted Robotgirl, the gang starts to search after Moshimo and arrives at an abandoned Titanium-Factory. They start looking until they find Moshimo inside a tube where he is hold as a hostage from Protoboy. Protoboy demand both to Robotboy and Robotgirl to enter the molds so they will get frozen inside a titanium liquid until it melts so Protoboy can be the only robot for Moshimo and he'll let him go. Robotgirl approaches to one of the molds but Robotboy stops her and he gets caught inside one instead. Robotgirl seems to do the same but lately changes her mind when she feel that Protoboy is lying and starts fighting with him.
At the same moment the kids try to figure out an idea to be able to free Moshimo and Robotboy from being dipped. Protoboy defeats Robotgirl and almost kicked her inside the burning liquid when Lola interrupts him by telling that abother robot will beat him up. While Protoboy prepares to fight to the other robot Lola frees Moshimo and Robotboy when Protoboy finds out that the other robot is a dud with Tommy and Gus and starts to preparing to shoot them and gets blasted by Robotboy. Robotboy blasts a second time to Protoboy and the liquid starts to destroy the bunker and the whole factory but Robotboy managed to save them all in the last second.


Ha! I knew Gus was a goose all along!

Lola's pretty tent!

Robotgirl is back!

Gus is skinny!

Robotgirl and Lola go good together.

Ha! Gus is wedgied!

Moshimo is trapped!

Protoboy's back.

You serious?


Well, this was a very good episode. We got the return of Robotgirl, and Gus made a shadow of himself! This sure was an epic climax in the factory, what with Robotboy saving Moshimo, Tommy, Robotgirl and Augustus, but if it weren't for the ending, it'd be perfect. Robotboy saves everyone, the factory collapses.......that's it! You kidding me? It's a great episode, but the ending was poor.


My rating: 9.5/10.


104. Momma's Boy.
Written by: Adam Cohen.
Aired: 27 September 2008.
When Kaziland is having a renovation Dr. Kamikazi and Constantine decide to live with Kamikazi's old mother who lives in Bay Area. Meanwhile Tommy and Gus try to get into different houses and ask them about cooking with insects.

Man does Kamikazi have a crab problem!

And here's the first appearance of Stevie's grandma, Mother Kamikazi.

Tommy with the cooking of insects book.
Here are the dogs, Ginger and Wasabi.
Now they're wiener constrictors!
 They're fighting over Robotboy!

Man is Mama hitting Kamikazi!

Well, this was a decent episode. All it focuses on is Stevie's grandma cooking, not paying attention to her son fighting Robotboy. The only laughs I got were Kamikazi getting treated like a mama's boy and the bad dogs, even if they were annoying. And Tommy's mum knows Mother Kamikazi? Oh well, Season 4 did end on an alright note.

My rating: 7/10.

Final thoughts:
This was an interesting episode too. We got to see the return of Robotgirl and we got to see Stevie's grandma hitting her son while Kaziland is under fumigation. It's an alright way to put Season 4 to rest.

Episode rating: 8/10.

Season 4 final thoughts:
Bottom line, Season 4 is the weakest season of Robotboy overall! Not bad or anything. It did have great episodes, but one was meh, and the rest were okay at worst. There was also a lack of Lola in episodes. What? Is she on holiday to see her mum elsewhere in the world? Oh well, I don't hate this season, but of the series as a whole, this is the least great.

4.5/10.
26. Udder Madness.

5.5/10.
25. Everybody loves Grandma.

6/10.
24. Runaway Robot.

2. Gus's Mix.
1. Cheezy Fun for Everyone.

Season 4 average score: 9.5/10.

Final score: 8.8/10.

 And that's the series overall! It would be nice to see Robotboy get a 5th season, but I doubt it will, and here are the reasons I doubt it.

1. Lewis Macleod (voice of Dwight, Special Agent, Bjorn and many others) is busy voicing Postman Pat.
2. As of 2012, Rupert Degas (voice of Gus, Constantine, Kurt, Hexx, Ambassador Mbola and many others) resides in Australia.
3. As of 2009, Togo Igawa (voice of Professor Moshimo) is now voicing Hiro in Thomas the Tank Engine.

And here's the real reason I doubt Robotboy will continue, and it's a sad one. In April 2010, Eiji Kusuhara (voice of Doctor Kamikazi) died of cancer. Rest in peace, Eiji. You will be sorely missed.





Now that that's out of the way, did Robotboy end on a high note? Sadly, it didn't. We got untold stories! Did Robotgirl end up with Lola? Did Lola confess her feelings toward Tommy? What became of all the villains? Did Lola's mum appear?

However, Season 4 was where I believe the show was on the edge of going through seasonal rot, so if this show doesn't continue, we can accept quality over quantity. Besides, we can always write our own fan fictions of Robotboy. I've written lots in 2012 when I joined Deviantart.

Alright! This was a brill series. I will never tire of Robotboy, and I will remember to say a true boy. A true Robotboy!

Let Tommy and Robotboy do something to end out for me!

That's it, Brobotboys! I hope you enjoyed reading my views on these! And I am going to deactivate these reviews........now!
