I’ve seen some episodes crop up on YouTube, but my feeling is that everyone is laying low for Hasbro legal to calm its tits after the big leak. Might take a bit, but I fully expect the series to crop up and down on YouTube for YEARS.
The Fate of Micronauts (2020).
- Thread starter Steevy Maximus
- Start date
Good news. I was able to secure copies of all 52 episodes. Yay. Big download, they're a little more than a gig each so the total came out 73 gigs for all 52 episodes. Was lucky I had a TB memory card around that was mostly empty.
So watched Episode 4 at lunch.
Plot:
Karza is tracking down a Micronium signal at a construction site. His powers are growing but he's almost out of energy and needs Micronium badly. Gammatron gets to talk more than he has so far and you get a better sense of his personality as an creepy-evil but Karza-loyal droid.
Meanwhile Phenelope's rushing and recklessness has made a disaster out of the Micronauts attempt to thank Cam by making breakfast. This is the focus ep for her. We'll get tragic backstory and a little character growth. Cameron detects the Micronium so the team splits, with the "action trio" (Acroyear, OB, And Phen) scouting it and the "comic relief trio" (Xant, Biotron and Time Traveler) try (in comedic cut-always) to jog her memory of home.
On the Action team Phen struggles with impatience again and we get flashbacks of Phen when she was a cadet in the Space Glider Academy and her big problem was she was super indecisive and over cautious. She gets letters from her brother at home that their neighborhood is under pressure from gangs supporting Karza. She has a chance to go help them, but can't legally take her wings until she graduates from the Academy so she decides they'll be fine, if she just waits for graduation. But then the messages stop coming and she steals the wings to try and go help (likely why she was being jailed in the first ep). We don't find out what happens exactly but we learn she "lost someone" because she was too cautious and tentative. So it sounds like her brother if not her whole family died because she wasn't there.
Anyway the memories cause her to recklessly attack a human under Karza's thrall rather than wait. She's saved by Cam but Acroyear is angry and sends Cam to take her home. Instead he gives her a pep talk and some advice and takes her back to the construction site. Which is good because Karza's uncovered a buried Micronaut space ship which reminds me of a little Starcom ship if anyone remembers those. The ship is damaged but she manages to drive off Karza and rescue her friends. OB thinks he can fix the ship and recognizes it as part of a bigger micronaut ship. In the end Phen is staring moodily at the stars and OB tells her she did good.
Developments:
1) Phen's backstory.
2) Phen's backstory Supporting Cast: Brother, Friend girl, Cadet who doesn't like her, and Acroyear Headmaster.
3) Very toyetic little ship looks like something they were definitely planing to sell kids.
Gear Combinations:
1) Karza combines his two robots and his flying scooter the to make a bigger flying scooter and escape,
2) Phen combines her wings and part of the little spaceship to make a combination flying scooter/jackhammer and free her friends.
-ZacWilliam, show is being vague enough about "lost someone" that Brother might be dead but he also might show up down the road.

Just curious but by letters from her bro, what medium were they sent in? Text messages? Physical?
If I recall correctly it was via recordings on a little disk that played a Star Wars-y hologram of his upper half. It was specifically in the context of recorded letters from home though not a live message.
-ZacWilliam, I guess Star Wars does that too with Leia's message to Ob-wan.

So I just watched episode 6 and
didn't they just spend episode 5 establishing they had a way to track the energy signatures of the micronium? So how come it didn't detect the stockpile in the garage?
