Part 1: SOS from Mechtropolis
After Mysterious Johnson accidentally opened a mysterious space portal, an SOS signal was received from Planet Zargon. Queenadent Pureheart gives permission for you to investigate.
You land in Mechtropolis and meet Selina, a GEARS graduate with almost-superhuman intelligence. She needs your help because Dr Boltavolt has kidnapped every superhero in Mechtropolis.
Mechtropolis is swarming with Boltavolt's superbots. Selina thinks she can reverse-engineer the superbots, but she needs you to defeat them and collect 20 parts from the wrecks. She quickly creates new weapons for you from the scrap pile and starts work on a Geekatron mecha chassis.
However, Dr Boltavolt ordered some CorDemi Drones from EvilCorp to steal Selina's prototype. Now he is using the Geekatron to cause earthquakes downtown. Defeat 5 drones and then you can repair your mecha before facing the Geekatron. Defeat the Geekatron and Selina will teach you how to equip the chassis with certain weapon combos to trigger special effects.
To get the best out the Geekatron chassis, you need to equip it with weapons created by Selina and then during battle use a weapon combination sequence to trigger a special effect. First use either a arm or shoulder weapon, then the head, and then the body weapon.

Part 2: Rescue the Superheroes
Selina has built a supercomputer called Cerebellum that can detect superpowers. There is a faint signal in Mechtroplis. Defeat 8 CorDemi Drones plus one of Boltavolt's special mecha to rescue the superheroes. Unfortunately, Dr Boltavolt has drained their superpowers and brainwashed them with his hypnobeam, so the superhero must be defeated to reverse the effects.
Quickflash is a bit harder to rescue because he's so fast. Fortunately Selina has built a Largo Laser that will slow him down. Look for him around town but watch out for the missiles - Boltavolt doesn't want you to catch him! Hit him with the laser six times and then you can fight him. Turns out Boltavolt hyponotised Quickflash into delivering ammunition for a secret building project - the Universo. He has enough ammunition for a mecha army, plus 6 billion tons of Crystallised Dragon's Breath to power them. But no one has found the secret headquarters yet.
