Synopsis:
The Missile Men plan another attempted invasion of Earth. They send an advance scout to conduct surveillance, which is captured by the Metal Men. The Missile Men then decide to construct a duplicate version of the Metal Men to discredit the real robots. The destruction caused by the duplicates causes the Metal Men to become hunted by the military. The real robots find and destroy their evil counterparts, then fend off the invasion. Only Tina survives the conflict, but Doc vows to repair and resurrect the other Metal Men.
