About

A new mass-produced giant robot is about to be introduced to the world's military-industrial complex when something goes terribly wrong. The models, called Bartoll, attack the waiting dignitaries. Soon the Bartoll are swarming all over the world, carrying out the nefarious plans of an evil (but deeply traumatized!) scientist. Employing a remote battling system that uses human bodies as parts, he has the new models gather up more people for his project. It's the pilots of the Earth Federation Army--Kyosuke, Excellen, and Bullet who must stop him before the automated army grows unbeatable--and deadlier.

1. Swarm Of The Bartoll

28m

Even as a new giant robot (the VTX-001 Bartoll) is to be unveiled to the Earth community, inside an unknown location, mechanical parts are being welded together. As production continues and the assembly line moves along, traces of human blood can be seen splattered against a wall. At the Earth Federation's unveiling of the Bartoll, a fleet of similar drones attacks the dignitaries of Earth. The ATX and SRX teams are dispatched to defeat the Bartolls, and upon capturing one makes a startling discovery regarding the ODE system.

2. People = Parts

28m

This ODE networking system designed by Professor Wilhelm von Juergen, allows all units equipped with it to share data and information between one another. With it, an enemy's actions can be calculated and predicted, thus explaining why the Bartolls were able to outmaneuver the ATX Team's attacks. The machine itself requires a living, organic core to function, and Gilliam theorizes the reason why legions of people disappeared is due to the Bartoll's need to acquire more captives, more information.

3. Prisoner Of The Labyrinth

28m

The final battle erupts in outer space as the ATX Team, SRX Team, and Cybuster engage the Bartolls near their main operating facility "Hellgate." Dr. Juergen's intent is revealed, even as the creation takes on a life of its own. The teams encounter new Bartolls but are able to prevent them from approaching Earth. But back in space, a lone, inoperative Bartoll drifts slowly, as it starts transmitting information to an unknown source.
