Meet Maxx 89, the latest and greatest innovation in the field of robotics! As a member of RoboForce--the crew of highly advanced bots that are redefining technological advancement on 22nd century Earth--there's no job too big for him to handle. But when their creator's newest invention is stolen by a group of underground tech pirates, in a brazen act of warfare, Maxx and the high-powered Detonator are determined to get it back . . . even if it’s through ruthless, unorthodox methods.
