Robo Force: The Revenge of Nazgar (Part the Fourth)

When we last saw Hun-Dred and his goons, they were about to embark on a quest to find the other two message crystals.

They start out by threatening a woman, in one of the rare speaking roles by a villain robot other than Hun-Dred ("Vulgar," in case you're wondering).

It's not necessary to threaten, though, because she's actually an android (!) who can be made to tell them through code words, making her the first non-standard robot to appear, and also kind of hard to listen to, because her voice is grating as all heck. She hands the crystal to them, they listen to the message, which tells them they'll find the next in some volcano or something, and they head out.

This is where the volcano is.

Somehow, from the tip they got from the guy they threatened last time, the good guys have caught up enough to know where to look, and so they aren't far behind (though the robots force the humans to stay behind because the air is poisonous).

Hun-Dred and goons find the last message crystal on this odd rock formation in the middle of a huge pool of lava-ish stuff. (It doesn't act much like lava, which is why I say that.)

By spinning all three message crystals at the same time, it plays another new recording. Wouldn't these be nifty RPG quest items?

Then the good guys parade in.

And...

...they promptly get knocked into the "lava."

This is, of course, where the commercial break goes.

After the baddies leave, they try to fly out, but the "lava" is too sticky. So one of them fires up his handy grappling hook, and they human robot chain their way out of there.

The final proof, by the way, that this stuff probably isn't lava:

It makes me think of cake frosting, but it might make you think of something... less wholesome.

Anyway, they get out of there, and...

...and that's all I have for today, because I intend to wrap this up next time in one fell swoop.

Business get serious.
