1The City of Zentrix2002-05-0925 minZentrix City, world capital of the future! From here the OmicronPsy Network, invented by scientific genius Emperor Jarad, controls the world. Thanks to robots with advanced thinking biochips, humans have never been so prosperous. But having been given 'human characteristics', OmicronPsy 'goes bad' and plans to usurp Jarad. The only thing Jarad can do to save mankind is to change history-by going back seven years in time and shutting down OmicronPsy's Zentrium CPU. But then he vanishes. From a hologram left by her father, Princess Megan, Jarad's 15-year-old daughter, discovers the truth about…2Little Girl Megan2002-05-1625 minMegan and Mango arrive back seven years in time. Due to a time machine malfunction, Megan has become a 15-year old in an 8-year-old body. Then she stumbles across Zeus, the super-robot her father built to help him destroy OmicronPsy. Trouble is, most of Zeus' functions have been in 'sleep mode'. Meanwhile, OmicronPsy uses the time machine to dispatch Stinger Bugs to assassinate Megan. Despite his 'weakness', Zeus manages to defend Megan and Mango from the Stinger Bugs. Zeus then detects some weak signals coming from somewhere and which may be transmitted by her father. They set off in search…3The Forest Peachi-Wigis2002-05-2325 minFlashback to the run-off between Quantum and Zeus.

From it comes the faint voice of Jarad's collaborator, Dr Roark.4Showdown with Dark-Alpha2002-05-3025 minAt Zentrix, OmicronPsy repairs the time machine and speeds up the development of the Dark-Series robots. His first product is Dark-01, the brainwashed Quantum, who pledges to defend the Zentrium against Megan! In the forest, the Peachi-wigis tell Megan that Dr Roark has sought refuge in the Pyramid. Megan makes friends with them all immediately and goes off to play with them, leaving Zeus while his data uploads. While playing, Megan encounters robot-assassin Dark-Alpha.

OmicronPsy, meanwhile, plots to ambush Megan using Quantum-now Dark-01. Back in the desert, just as Zeus is having trouble with his power system, Megan gets attacked by the Big Tooth Bug. Zeus saves her. But since Zeus has lost his flight function, their journey across the desert to the Pyramid is taking so long that Megan is in danger of dying of thirst. Luckily, Megan is saved by the Desert Five. Megan gets a lesson in friendship…6Showdown with Dark-012002-06-1325 minAt the Pyramid, when Dr Roark explains everything to Megan, she decides to complete her father's mission. To knock out OmicronPsy completely, Megan needs to shut down altogether six Zentriums.

There is a huge robot fight, but in his powered-down state, Zeus is no match for Dark-01 and retreats with Megan. Dr Roark tells Megan and Zeus how to escape from the Pyramid. But, as they do so, again they are discovered by Dark-01. Eventually Megan and party are trapped in a chamber with…7The Deep Sea Monster2002-06-2025 minAfter a precipitous fall down an escape chute, Megan and party land in a kind of warehouse, where they are again attacked by the pursuing Dark-01.

The action is…8The Complete Zeus2002-06-2725 minAt Nick's laboratory, Megan tells her story to an incredulous Nick and then makes contact with Dr Roark who helps her restore Zeus to his full powers.

Nick then teams up with the trio and they all set off for the…9The Wacky Robot Professor2002-07-0425 minNick tells Megan he doesn't like the way she just treats Zeus as a piece of expendable hardware and lectures her on the subject of friendship. As Dr Roark is unable to help fix Zeus' armor, Nick and Megan go and ask for assistance from Dr Coy, the robot expert. But he hates the monarchy, and refuses. But Megan goads him into accepting by challenging his robots to a video fight game. After she has beaten Dr Coy, he agrees to take a look at Zeus. But what he really wants is for Zeus to take part in illegal robot combat and stipulates that he will only agree to help him if Zeus wins. But in this…10The Deadly Combat Pit2002-07-1125 minA mysterious girl called Akina, who is actually Dr Coy's daughter, arrives with her robot, Fighter. He is an expert at Chinese-style kung-fu, and absolutely loathes Dr Coy. But before he can challenge Dr Coy, he must defeat the Chubby Brothers' robots. After Fighter has beaten their robots, The Blade and Hell Tank, he issues a direct challenge to Dr Coy. But Dr Coy insists that he beat Zeus first.

Akina is in fact Dr…12The Battle Below2002-07-2525 minDr Coy and Akina work together on a new suit of water-resistant armor and other weapons for Zeus. Zeus tests them successfully.

Zeus…13Zeus Goes Missing2002-08-0125 minZeus is ambushed by Quantum/Dark-01 and Dark-02. As they enter the Zentrium chamber inside the Undersea Stronghold, Megan and Nick suspect they have walked into a trap. Sure enough, all kinds of weapons open up at them and, as they try to shut down the Zentrium, the voice of OmicronPsy announces they have activated a time bomb and have five minutes to get clear. Meanwhile Zeus and Quantum slug it out, and Dr Coy and Akina get King and Fighter to deal with Dark-03. Luckily, Nick discovers that they can delay the explosion by ten minutes-maybe-and so they make good their escape yet again, but…14The Volcano Rockmen2002-08-0825 minSince the explosion at the Undersea Stronghold, Nick realizes the wounded Megan really cares for Zeus. He asks Dr Coy if he could make a replica Zeus, but is told that because Zentrium chips are 'thinking' chips, any replica would not be identical and would have no memory of Megan. [unknown to Megan, we then see that Zeus is OK.] Meanwhile Dr Coy tells Megan that if they can find Zeus' Zentrium, then they can rebuild him. Megan is happy at this news.

Thus, not wanting to damage their credibility with the RockMen, Megan and Nick decide to enter the Volcano Stronghold directly via the mouth of the volcano itself. Finally, as Zeus and Dark-04 battle it out, Megan…17Quantum’s Big Pal2002-08-2925 minAfter the third Zentrium has been shut down, Megan and friends all celebrate.

As she has lost contact with Megan and her party, Akina sends Fighter and King to lend support. On their way, they are attacked by Giant-Robot and Silver-05.

Emperor Jarad is a scientist who with the help of scientists Dr. Roark and Dr. Coy, created a super-computer called OmnicronPsy, which manages all of the city's higher and day-to-day functions, controlling a wide variety of machines and robots, allowing humankind to live a seemingly "perfect" life. However OmnicronPsy, using His super-intelligence, decides that it would make a better ruler than Jarad, and starts to break down the coding that stops him from revolting and harming the Royal Family. Discovering this, Jarad and Dr. Roark head back in time 7 years to stop the revolt from ever happening. To accomplish this they plan to shut down the six Zentrium chips that power OmnicronPsy. Upon discovering this, Jarad's daughter and only heir, Princess Megan, proceeds to follow him to the past while OmnicronPsy concurrently undoes his restriction codes and sends his Robo Guards to hunt her down.
