Catapult Nightmare: Alex suffers from one near the beginning of book 1, which unfortunately for him, foreshadows his connection to Robot 23.

Ambiguous Gender Identity: Alex shows signs of this in books 2 and 3, as he wonders if he is a girl after Jamal says he's one, can't decide whether to get a Blue (Action & Adventure) or Pink (Friends & Feelings) Choki Egg, changes his colour scheme to Pink and joins the girl's football team.Coming of Age Story: for both Alex and Freddy, as they deal with normal kid problems growing up while being the youngest agents of R.A.I.D. But far beneath the ground in the tunnels of London's old tube network, defunct and discarded robots are being rescued and repaired. And some of them are out for revenge – on mankind and on the Mega-Robo Bros themselves. I’ve already told you about just how good the comic is with the first volume in these newly remastered, ungraded, improved digest format versions of Mega Robo Bros in the review of Power Up, but now it’s time to head out once more with volume two of the digest series, Double Threat. The boys have part-time but increasing insistent jobs as super-secret agents, although because they weren’t very good at the clandestine part, almost the entire world knows of them. Generally, however, it’s enough for the digital duo that their parents love them, even though they are a bit more of a handful than most kids. They all live as normal a life as possible: going to human school, playing with human friends and hating homework. It’s all part of their “Mega Robo Routine”, combining dull human activities, actual but rare fun, games-playing, watching TV and constant training in the combat caverns under R.A.I.D. HQ. Also the later parts is where stuff gets exciting what with the foreshadowing from 'Mega Robo Routine' of Stupid Philosophy Penguin's "Hell is other people" and Alex's nightmare being the moments where it indicates that the future London that seems idyllic has some skeletons in the cupboard, what with the main antagonist of this book actually subtly hinted to have a connection with Alex.

Big explosions, family drama and two brothers saving the day – again. It’sall part of being a Mega Robo Bro! About This Edition ISBN: Okay humans, listen up! My name is FREDDY. I live with my Mum and Dad. I go to school. Oh yeah, the MAIN thing: I am an AWESOME ROBOT! With awesome robotic SUPERPOWERS! But I'm hardly ever allowed to USE them, and definitely not at SCHOOL. Which is going to be a PROBLEM...Here, the boys are seen adapting to a new normal. Their exploit has made them global superstars and whilst immature Freddy is revelling in all the attention Alex is having trouble adjusting: not just to the notoriety and acclaim, but also the horrifying new power levels he achieved to succeed and also the apparent onset of robot puberty… The dynamic Double Threat is bursting with excitement and empathy,perfect for reluctant readers and story lovers alike. Robertus was astoundingly devoid of human empathy but – intrigued by the team’s acclaim and global acceptance – was inspired to create a new kind of autonomous robot. Wolfram was more powerful than any other construct, and also possessed certain foundational directives that allowed him to make choices and develop his own systems. He could think, like Alex and Freddy! Only, as it transpired, not quite…

By the time the Bros reach Jötunn Base, Wolfram has already ruthlessly crushed the RAID force led by their friend Agent Susie Nichols and all that’s possible is to stop their determined and utterly unreasonable brother by any means necessary… In the aftermath, R.A.I.D. was formed. They tried to shut down Robertus and decommission Wolfram, but the superbot rejected their judgement, leading to a brutal battle, the robot’s apparent destruction and Roboticus escaping… This amazing book republishes MEGA ROBO BROS, fully remastered and adapted into a new chunky format, with lots of extra bonus content!I could tell you more, but there’s a wonderful little section at the end of the first Mega Robo Bros book, Power Up, where Freddy pretty much sums up all you need to know, in his own unique way! Robertus was utterly devoid of human empathy but – intrigued by the team’s acclaim and global acceptance – created a new kind of autonomous robot. Wolfram was more powerful than any other construct, and was equipped with certain foundational directives allowing him to make choices and develop his own systems. He could think, just like Alex and Freddy can! Only, as it transpired, not quite… A lot happened in that first Mega Robo Bros book by Neill Cameron. Alex (12) and Freddy (6) have gone from being two (relatively) normal school kids to two new special agents at R.A.I.D. (the international agency for Robotics Analysis, Intelligence and Defence). And, despite the best efforts of their adopted parents, R.... Read Full Review In a London far cooler than ours, Alex and his younger brother Freddie Sharma are generally typical kids: boisterous, fractious, eternally argumentative yet devoted to each other, and not too bothered that they’re adopted. It’s really no big deal for them that they were meticulously and covertly constructed by the mysterious Dr. Roboticus– before he vanished – and are considered by those in the know as the most powerful – and only fully SENTIENT – robots on Earth.
