Synopsis:
Doc Magnus and the Metal Men gather the pieces of the B.O.L.T.S. robot and take them to Doc's lab. While working on the robot, Doc is swallowed as the robot is really under remote control by Dr. Yes, a robot twin of Egg Fu.
When Doc goes missing the Metal Men finish assembling the robot and order it to take it to the leader. The robot brings them to Dr. Yes who brainwashes the Metal Men and Doc. They return to America and are commanded to shout "Down with America". The Metal Men are able to overcome the command by destroying themselves. Then their broken parts attack and destroy the B.O.L.T.S. robot. Doc is released from inside and rebuilds the team.
