A robot gets shot in the chest and the view switches to his face as his eyes change from blue to a fiery red, and smoke pours out of his mouth.
After being fatally wounded, the leader of the heroic robots is shown in a medical bay in the presence of his friends, including a small human boy. After choosing his successor, he succumbs to his injuries and dies. His life monitor flatlines and his glowing blue eyes fade out. Lastly, his entire body turns to a charcoal-like gray color and his head turns down to his shoulder. His friends are visibly upset; and the human boy is tearfully crying on the robot's arm. However, he is brought back to life in the TV series in subsequent episodes. The successor is killed later on, but is rebuilt.
Suggested MPAA Rating: PG for sequences of sci-fi action violence and some language |
