Synopsis

Upon researching a crater in the desert the Zapbots stumble into a worm hole that transports them to a strange planet far from Earth. Upon arriving they are attacked by a goulash ghosty creature that threatens to destroy them. Boaty is badly damaged from the attack. While fleeing from the Monster they return back to Earth but unsuspectingly take the monster back with them.

The monster proceeds to attack a nearby metropolis. Anthony heads back to base to grab his newly designed Zapbot Shortstop body as well as Fortress Misslemax. Fortress Misslemax confronts the monster but is unable to defeat it due to its quick agility. The Minibots of Click, Superrobot, Tiny and Experiment interlock with Fortress Misslemax providing it extra agility needed to destroy the monster thus saving the city.
