Bandai Fall 2004 Preview: Astro Boy

A jet-powered and fearless robot courageously fights to protect mankind from evil and defend his fellow robots from injustice. This is the story of ASTR OBOY. In a futuristic, robot-based world, a brilliant, but evil engineer, Dr. Tenma creates Astro to replace his lost son but soon abandons him. Rescued and adopted by the kindly Dr. O'Shay, Astro becomes a reluctant hero fighting evil with his incredible strength, laser weaponry, jet-rocket feet and telepathic computer brain. Mankind?s only hope of surviving the attack of rebellious robots is a robot himself...the fearless, selfless, incorruptible champion known as Astro.
