Synopsis:
Doc is coerced into creating another version of Platinum. The new Tina acts completely robotic, the way Doc has always wanted. Unfortunately she proves to be too robotic and endangers Doc’s life. As a result, Doc scraps her and agrees to retrieve the original Tina from the moon.

Using his invention of Thought-Force X power, Doc and the Metal Men journey to the moon and retrieve the remains of Tina. He rebuilds her on Earth, but unknowingly an amoeba from the moon is brought back as well. The amoeba becomes a giant in Earth’s atmosphere, destroying several of the robots. Tin contains the robot inside his tin can body and is jettisoned into space, sacrificing himself for the good of the Earth.
