So of the robots in this show look like straight up Digimon, Hercules was dead ringer for Omnimon they practically had the same face.

I just noticed that Delta and Epsilon are based off that one German detective robot and Photon from the 1980 series. No wonder Delta looked very familiar to me in the last episode.

The action scenes were cool in this episode. Hercules dodging and blocking the rocket explosives with his shield and Astro returning well-timed laser beams during his first interaction with Pluto were well-done action sequences. At least, for a series like this.

This time around, in this version, Pluto seems to be a bit more poignant. He can't help but follow what his program is telling him to. Again, robots are as morally ambiguous as the human masters allow them to be. If your master is an unfavorable kind, then chances are the robots will cause havoc to fulfill whatever their human masters order them to do.
