Robotboy is the latest creation of the world renowned scientist Professor Moshimo. Due to fears that Robotboy would be stolen by his arch-enemy Dr. Kamikazi and his main henchman Constantine to be used to take over the world, Professor Moshimo entrusts Robotboy to 13-year-old Tommy Turnbull, his biggest fan. While being protected by Tommy and his two friends Lola and Gus, or "G-man" as he calls himself, Robotboy learns how to behave and act as if he were a real boy.
Most of the time, Robotboy has blue drums protruding diagonally on either side of the head. While Superactivated, they become horns. Deactivated and Activated forms look very much the same, except the deactivated form's head drums are withdrawn into the head, and his limbs are also withdrawn into his body. While activated, Robotboy has mechanical tentacles concealed in his palms and thrusters on the soles of lower part of his leg, enabling him to fly. While Superactivated, Robotboy's fists and feet and head are much larger and now have all kinds of lasers, homing missiles and machine guns. Briefly seen is an ink spray that can identify invisible targets and, of course, dramatically increased physical strength. Robotboy's most common Superactivated weapon is the machine gun arm. Many random weapons appear, and many are rarely seen twice, even in the same episode. It also seems Robotboy is amphibious. In later episodes Robotboy receives an unbreakable metal for his body to be made. This becomes seen as Robotboy never takes damage.
The Activation controls for Robotboy are built into a special, orange watch that Tommy wears. The watch is in the shape of Activated Robotboy's head. In the episode "Robot Rebels", Robotboy smashes the watch after being tricked by Kamikazi. It is unknown how Tommy gets another watch, but it is safe to presume that Professor Moshimo had a spare one.
There are 4 seasons consisting of 52 episodes [2].
Directors: Charlie Bean and Bob Camp Writers: Scott Peterson, Darrik Bachmen

Robotboy is an British and French telvision series created by Cartoon Network, Alphanim and France 3. This is about a story of a prototype robot, who desires to become a real boy.
Tommy: Whoa! We gotta do something or that dog
is going to be road pizza.
Gus: Pizza?
Donnie: Hey, dog! You wanna stay here where it doesn't suck? Or over at Gus' medieval manor?
Gus: This is not over! I'm going to get stitches, maybe a rabies shot. Then, I'll be back.
Gus: [yawns] Boy, I'm hungry.
[Gus puts his hand near the lunchbox; Lola snatches it from
him]
Lola: We're saving those for later!
Gus: Yeah, well the G-Man needs his strength.
Tommy: Sorry Ro, it's not safe. There's too many people at the beach, and I don't want to get sand in this either. [Tommy takes his watch off] Later, Gator!
Robotboy: Oh Professor Moshimo, hello.
Professor Moshimo: Oh hello, Robotboy. Is Tommy
around?
Robotboy: Turnbull Family Day, Robotboy home
alone.
Donnie: I'm going on week two of Postal Polo.
Dr. Kamikazi: Oh no. Constantine, I'm
stuffed.
Constantine: I bet you won't have room for
this.
[Constantine unveils a deactivated Robotboy on a
dish]
Dr. Kamikazi: Robotboy!
[Kamikazi's nocturnal minions chase after Tommy, Lola and
Gus; Gus turns off the lights]
Gus: Now they can't see us.
Tommy: You've got it backwards!
Donnie: [to Gus] Hey, butt-sweat!
You're breathing my air!
[Donnie runs to Gus and punches Gus' lights out]
Dr. Kamikazi: AAAGHH!! This tapas burned my tongue. But I so do love the tapas. [Kamikazi sips his soup] Isn't that right, Thelonious? [Kamikazi touches his porcupine and gets his hand covered with sharp quills] AAAAGGHHH!!
Gus: Seen it. Man, Christmas sucks.
Lola: What's with him?
Tommy: Oh Gus is just bitter, because last year,
Santa got him a shovel.
Robotboy: Robotboy, no fight, Robotboy calm.... collective. (teeth twinkle)
Tommy: It's nothing, Ro. It's just something about Bambi.
Björn Björnson: So, you're a creation of Moshimo? No wonder he hasn't made you into a real boy, the man's a jackass.
Gus: Did that thing just poop out Dr. Kamikazi and Constantine?
Donnie: We know, dad!
Dwight: "sigh" Serve, Donnie!
Dr. Kamikazi (old): There is no antidote.
