Plot
Gadget Boy features a more reliable back-story and more details than the original series as the original show was meant to be more humorous. The plot is similar to Japanese anime series, Astro Boy. A young boy named Tobio Thynma died from a car accident and his father, Dr. Thynma, reassembles him by making him half-robot transforming him into Gadget Boy. When he realized that Gadget Boy could never replace his son, he sells him into a ringmaster who works for a robotic circus and the ringmaster abuses him. Luckily, Switzerland-based inventor Myron Dabble (who also gives him the gadgets) saved him by showing the ringmaster that the new law states that all robots now have the same equal rights as humans causing Gadget Boy to now live with and work for Interpol in New York City which he meets beautiful Irish-blooded Agent Heather and Italy-based Chief Stromboli. But, the mask-wearing six-armed villaness Spydra and her sarcasstic vulture Boris are planning to stop and kill Gadget Boy so they can rule the world.
