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.
-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?
With episode 5 I've finally got them on a drive I can play on my regular Tv so hopefully I can start moving through these faster now.
Plot:
It's sort of a Xant focus episode but his plot really comes out with much less focus than Cams.
After a fight with Karza over a piece of Micronauts tech on an active Driving range the Micronauts realize they're running out of micronium maybe faster than Karza. Only Xant (whose been avoiding combat) has a good amount left. They detect a big source nearby in the house of Cam's crush Andy.
While those left home try to get by Cam's cat to build a recharge station, Acroyear, Xant and Cam (reluctantly) end up unknowingly crashing her Birthday party to retrieve the power. Xant steps up but fights with brains rather than brawn. Cam's doing well until a fight with a Karza controlled football player makes it look like he's a jerk ruining the cake and pushing the head of the team in the pool. The micronauts get the power source and Cam ends up thrown in the pool but with the gratitude of Acroyear.
Developments:
1) Micronauts get a way to recharge.
2) Cam's supporting cast expanded with: More Andy (she's an inventor geek too and was interested in being friends with him at least up to the point where he ruined her cake and seemed to shove someone in the pool), Head of the football team (not a jerk, just a over enthusiastic "dude"), and Cam's pet cat.
3) Little bit of development for Xant as he learns he can handle "combat" if he does it in a smart way.
4) Phen however has not learned much from last episode and impulsively decides to bareback ride the cat rather than sneak by it.
Gear Combinations:
1) Acroyear's sword and OB's wheel for a sword drone. (Fails due to lack of Micronium)
2) Xant's gauntlets and Acroyear's wings for a big gun that looks nothing like its component parts and blasts Xant back like a jet engine.
-ZacWilliam, Baron Karza really has a sense of humor in this show and it serves to set him apart a lot from the Lex Luther voice he has in his less snarky moments.

Episode 6
Plot:
An actual Xant focus episode. After an incident trying and failing to negotiate an accord with a really very large spider given their size, Xant is feeling like the team doesn't trust/value him. Phen in particular laments his lack of combat skill. He's venting to Quin outside when they are attacked by a bird of prey. She accidentally open a portal and they fall through back to the Microverse. The two are separated and Xant is captured and taken before the planet's council of elders. We learn that he supposedly betrayed his former Micronauts team but has always maintained he was framed. The Elders believe all the Micronauts are working with Karza and ask him to betray them, promising him fame and renown if he becomes a double agent. Xant absolutely refuses (and they refuse to believe the team's innocence). Quinn bursts in through a portal on a monocycle and rescues him. She's found another Time Traveler who owes her a favor and he sends them home. They get there just in time to interrupt their memorial service and Xant is praised for his loyalty to the team.
Developments:
1) Introduction of the Council
2) Introduction of a second Time Traveler with a cool scar (c)
3) Xant's backstory
4) Xants brain changes color when he's nervous
5) Hey the Micronauts get a cool Motorcycle
6) Begining of the mystery of why there's micro-tech in Cam's garage
7) We learn Cam's Mom works for a Science Company and might be connected to the tech.
-ZacWilliam, two really good humor bits in this one: When Acro realizes Phen could have just freed them from the spiderweb with her wings and then OB points out Acro also could have done that at any time and they're just like "well... oops". And then later when Cam and his Mom start arguing and then switch roles during the fight and he takes on the parental part of the argument and sends her to her room and she goes and starts playing annoying music loud. That was real cute and a funnier more realistic feeling moment than you normally get in these shows.

Episode 7
Plot:
OB focus episode. He finishes the Recharge Station but Cam would kinda like his room back a little and the rest agree that a headquarters with room for everyone would be best. Between all the requests and being left behind when the others all go on an arial recon mission (even Xant because the new monocycle from last episode can fly) OB is starting to feel under appreciated.
Cue flashbacks. He used to not be a cyborg and be a key member of a crack squad known for his speed. On a rescue mission he saves a child that is almost left behind but ends up getting his lower half frozen solid doing it. When he's recovered and now a cyborg his old squad still wants him back but he's bitter and down on himself and no longer believes he can help in the field so he turns his back on them to become the guy who runs the evidence lock-up.
In the Present he decides to prove his worth (Despite his friends not actually doubting, and Quin acting as Therapist) by finishing that space pod they recovered a few episodes back. He does but is shot down by Karza's robots. His friends come to the rescue but he falls through the ice, reliving his trauma, but getting over it and saving the day. But little do they know The Karza bots managed to upload all his plans for their base and recharger and give them to their boss.
Developments:
1) Oberon's Backstory
2) Oberon's old squad introed
3) ReCharger and Space Pod activated
4) New Micronia Base planed
Gear Combinations:
1) Oberon ener-changes the mono-cycle and the Spacepod into an ice-skimmer vehicle.
-ZacWilliam, I like the Yeti Monsters OBs team fights in the flashback.

Episode 8:
Baron Karza is learning to control an army of cockroaches. Now having all OBs plans he sends Gamma and Beta to destroy the recharge center.
Cam's Mom wants to bond with him over camping. He thinks it sounds terrible and fakes being busy (making his mom really sad) but the Micronauts get a Micronium signal near the camp ground and talk him into it.
Biotron and Acroyear go camping. Meanwhile at home Phen, OB and Xant chase an Ice Cream truck. This leaves Quin home alone to "Home Alone" Karza's robots with the help of her good friend Ross the cat.
The Camping crew quickly runs afoul of a big mountain lion. Cam and Pell end up lost and hiding in a tree. It's night before Mom (using Biotron as a flashlight) rescues him. As they run off, Bio and Pel team up to take out the cat. The humans sleep in their car. They decide camping is not their way to bond.
Developments:
1) Cockroach army?
2) Another hint that weird science stuff might be up for Mom.
3) We learn Cam's Dad left before he can remember and his mom doesn't talk about it.
Gear Combination:
1) Acroyear enerchanges his broken wings and Biotron to transform the later into a helicopter.
ZacWilliam, Cam's Mom has some pretty funny lines. Really good delivery from the voice actress.

Episode 9:
We open in a flashback of Kid-Pel and his mutton-chopped dad sparing and training. His dad goes for a hug and transforms into Karza. Adult Pel wakes from a nightmare.
OB has finished New Microsia. He's made it so parts of Cam's bedroom transform (Spiderman and his Amazing friends style) into a full Micronauts headquarters with training arena, meditation chamber, study, and Ops Center.
Cam has discovered Micronaut tech on display at the museum his school's going on a field trip to. They decide to go with. Jerk Mark is back, as is crush Andy (who forgives him for the Birthday debacle). Cam is terrible at talking to her but promises to talk tech with her soon. Later they team up and be space science geeks when Mark acts annoying.
Theres a bunch of 2,000 year old Micro tech on display but what catches Pel's attention is an Acroyear helmet trapped in amber that he swears looks exactly like his fathers. There's a skeezy looking guard and an alarm system. So the Micronauts wait till night to attempt a theft.
We get another flashback of his Dad giving him more heroic advice as he enters the Acroyear academy and then saying goodbye and flying off with his friend the good (?) unarmored Dr Karza.
The Micronauts heist starts off well but the combination of Pel focusing on the helmet and Quin spacing out leaves Xant to be cornered by the security guard. The rest of the team manipulate a stuffed grizzly to scare the guard off and save Xant.
At home later Pel is upset to find that the spot where the helmet would have said its owner has been defaced and is inconclusive. We get one last flashback of Pel at the Academy when his father's betrayal is announced and everyone looks at him with suspicion.
Meanwhile the guard is running back the security cam footage and has clear video of the Micronauts in the museum.
Developments:
1) Pel Backstory
2) Did Pel's Dad time travel mystery introduced.
3) We see "human" Dr Karza.
4) I like that the show remembers and addresses what happened the last time Cam interacted with both Andy and Mark.
5) The guard knows.
Gear Combinations:
1) Everyone pretty much enerchanges everything they got to create an exoskeleton and animate the stuffed Grizzly.
-ZacWilliam, basically part one of a two parter with next ep. Also the "hiding from the guard" bit reminded me of Botbots.

My guess is it's detecting a ton all over the entire map of the town and they assumed the dot on Cam's house was THEM.
ZacWilliam, one of the dots must be Karza too
Episode 10:
Both Karza (on his newly renovated TV) and the Micro team see a TV report on the heist in the last episode and, when the skeevy guard says the security footage was mysteriously erased, they all realize that he's the only one could have done it and must be keeping evidence of the Micronauts for himself, which no one involved likes.
"Hacking" reveals he's Arliss Dunne a conspiracy-nut youtuber and the micronauts decide to have Cam drop them off at his house on the way to school. Quinn happens to touch Biotron and has a future vision of Biotron attacking them all and has a bad vibe about the mission. They leave her home just in case.
Cam is caught by Arliss but cons his way into his house. Baron Karza and Co also converge on the house to destroy the evidence. Biotron finds a stack of dvds and plays them on his chest. The first one is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, featuring Rainbow Dash. The second is a different toon I don't recognize with human kids and a glowing yo-yo. He's distracted and Karza pulls the mind control touch on him. Karza is stunned and excited to have a vision of Biotron's past and discover that Biotron is actually HIS old personal creation Alpha Tron. He can't believe he didn't recognize him and puts Alpha Tron into battle mode.
Karza and Co and the Micros start to fight while Arliss tries to download his proof to the net. Pel convinces Karza to temporarily save the day by stealing Arliss's flash drive, he does and despite their best efforts Alpha Tron leaves with Karza.
Developments:
1) "You're a magician too? Because that makes a lot of sense." Cam burning Arliss.
2) Another hint that Cam's mom works for a secretly evil mega-corp.
3) Karza seems weirdly upset when Biotron is about to destroy Pel. No good reason why he would be, but he is.
4) The My Little Pony cameo made it really feel like this was intended to be a Hub show.
5) Biotron, ahem... Alpha Tron mystery solved.
Gear Combination:
1) Pel tries to ener-change his wings to Biotron to break him out of Karza's control but the robot does Iron Man's Omni-beam attack and blows them back.

That's probably Blazing Team (The Masters of Yo Kwon Do)?
Blazing Team: Masters of Yo Kwon Do - Wikipedia
I expect that's it. I somehow (blessedly) missed the existence of that show.
-ZacWilliam, It does seem like something Arliss Done would have preserved for posterity.

Could I have a pic of the My Little Pony cameo?
Thanks! Oh that's super cool, hehe

Episode 11:
The Micronauts plan to save Biotron with Cam's help, but his Mom shows up furious with him. He's dropped from a B+ to a C- in three weeks and has been tardy and skipping (all to help the Micronauts of course.) He's grounded. And Quin is who-knows-where, so the Biotron search party is down to 4.
Meanwhile Baron Karza is thrilled to have Alphatron on his side but his other bots are jealous and Gammatron is plotting against the new guy.
At school Cam's Vice Principal is a complete dick and Mark continues to be a jerk. But Andy remains friendly. She has been paying close enough attention to learn that he blushes when he lies. This will not be good knowledge for Cam who discovers he's accidentally brought a sleeping Quin to school in his bag. He immediately lies to cover it and Andy immediately calls him on it. He runs off out of class to "use the restroom." Cam cannot afford to skip, so the Micronauts will have to come for her.
Meanwhile at the Karza Junkyard the scheming Gammatron tricks Alphatron into a car crusher and smashes him.
Cameron is chased through the school halls by the VP Scooby-Doo style. Finally returning to his class to find it empty and his backpack gone. He decides Mark the Jerk must have stolen it. The Micronauts get separated and lost in the school vents and then halls. Pel is almost trampled by theater kids seeing if they made it into the Music Man. Phen discovers the drums. OB is almost bisected in Shop. And Xant takes a bath in the lunch room Chili freaking out Mark.
Alpha Tron has survived the compactor thrilling Karza and disgusting Gammatron.
The Heroes meet up outside Mark's class waiting for him. Cam brushes off Andy to confront Mark. More than once, before making himself look like the real jerk when she reveals she took the backpack to keep it safe for him. Just then the VP seizes the pack and the Micronauts have to create a distraction and save Quin quick. That goes well, but Andy knows Cam was lying again to the VP and to her. She's annoyed and tells him a real friend would have trusted her before walking off. The Micronauts promise to try to never put him into that situation again.
Developments:
1) Gammatron gets a chance to be scheming instead of just obsequious.
2) Cam is REALLY damn lucky Andy is so forgiving that she's still talking to him at this point.
3) The Micronauts have been on Earth 3 Weeks at this point apparently.
4) Not much else this episode.
Gear Combination:
1) Pel's sword and Phen's wings into a drone that triggers the sprinklers to distract the VP.
The Micronauts plan to save Biotron with Cam's help, but his Mom shows up furious with him. He's dropped from a B+ to a C- in three weeks and has been tardy and skipping (all to help the Micronauts of course.) He's grounded. And Quin is who-knows-where, so the Biotron search party is down to 4.
Meanwhile Baron Karza is thrilled to have Alphatron on his side but his other bots are jealous and Gammatron is plotting against the new guy.
At school Cam's Vice Principal is a complete dick and Mark continues to be a jerk. But Andy remains friendly. She has been paying close enough attention to learn that he blushes when he lies. This will not be good knowledge for Cam who discovers he's accidentally brought a sleeping Quin to school in his bag. He immediately lies to cover it and Andy immediately calls him on it. He runs off out of class to "use the restroom." Cam cannot afford to skip, so the Micronauts will have to come for her.
Meanwhile at the Karza Junkyard the scheming Gammatron tricks Alphatron into a car crusher and smashes him.
Cameron is chased through the school halls by the VP Scooby-Doo style. Finally returning to his class to find it empty and his backpack gone. He decides Mark the Jerk must have stolen it. The Micronauts get separated and lost in the school vents and then halls. Pel is almost trampled by theater kids seeing if they made it into the Music Man. Phen discovers the drums. OB is almost bisected in Shop. And Xant takes a bath in the lunch room Chili freaking out Mark.
Alpha Tron has survived the compactor thrilling Karza and disgusting Gammatron.
The Heroes meet up outside Mark's class waiting for him. Cam brushes off Andy to confront Mark. More than once, before making himself look like the real jerk when she reveals she took the backpack to keep it safe for him. Just then the VP seizes the pack and the Micronauts have to create a distraction and save Quin quick. That goes well, but Andy knows Cam was lying again to the VP and to her. She's annoyed and tells him a real friend would have trusted her before walking off. The Micronauts promise to try to never put him into that situation again.
Developments:
1) Gammatron gets a chance to be scheming instead of just obsequious.
2) Cam is REALLY damn lucky Andy is so forgiving that she's still talking to him at this point.
3) The Micronauts have been on Earth 3 Weeks at this point apparently.
4) Not much else this episode.

Episode 12:
The Junkyard owner eats red "Eggs alla Karza" and becomes a red eye zombie. Its an experiment in taking over humans minds via their food.
Meanwhile all the Micronauts except Xant and OB are down with terrible food poisoning. Turns out they can't eat a lot of human food and so have been nursing an old moldy piece of bacon in secret. OB's stomach is mechanical and Xant is a DnD dwarf racially immune to all poison so they are fine but now on their own.
OB has a lead on Biotron that he will follow while Cam will take Xant Grocery Shopping with his Mom to find other (less spoiled) food they can eat.
OB grapples a car bumper to race across town to the back of a butcher shop where Karza and Company are tainting the food. While at the front of that same grocery store the food samples Cam's Mom and the rest of the patrons try are glowing Karza red. Soon Cam is surrounded in a store full of Karza Zombies. OB and Cam are captured. Xant is purposely captured because he suspects the tainted food can't affect his and OBs stomachs. They attack when he isn't expecting it, but are still overpowered. Until OB gives a heartfelt speech to Alphatron and reminds him of their friendship, inspiring him to fight back to being Biotron. He blasts Karza, saving the day.
During the celebration back in Cam's room Biotron speaks for the first time surprising everyone except Quin (who can see the future after all).
Developments:
1) Karza is experimenting with his powers again. The Cockroach thing never came back again (yet at least) so I wonder if tainted food is just a one episode plot too
2) The Micronauts can only apparently eat some human food. Including (but hopefully not limited to) Bacon, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and Corn on the Cob
3) Biotron can speak.
Gear Combination:
1) Xants Gauntlets and OBs Spider Legs to form big staple like things and pin down Alphatron.
-ZacWilliam, a bit of a quick end to the Alphatron/Biotron story but it's good to have him back. He is a very cute design.
