In the year 3037, Earth is fighting a losing war against the Glorft. To try to win the war, they plan to send a giant robot named Megas to 3035 to turn the tide at a critical battle. However, an attack by the Glorft destroys the head and timedrive of Megas, sending it to the year 1936. In the present day, two metalheads named Jamie and Coop discover the robot in a junkyard in New Jersey and buy it, tinkering with it by hooking up a hot rod where the head once was, attaching video game controllers to maneuver the robot and naming it XLR (Xtra Large Robot). When Kiva, a pilot and engineer from the future, arrives to take the robot, she finds that only Coop is able to pilot the robot. Now, they must save Earth from the wrath of the Glorft, who have come to the past to reclaim their robot.
