Ep. 15: Defend the Artificial Intelligence! / Only a Machine
Aired on July 20, 2003

15
The anti-robot group Organics, led by Kane, utilizes a device called Sakabot provided by Skunk to strip artificial intelligence from robots. This turns the machines into mindless automatons, causing widespread chaos in the town. While Kane believes this will make humans fear robots, Skunk merely seeks profit. As Atom attempts to restore order, Sakabot begins malfunctioning and steals intelligence from Kane’s daughter Teffe and Skunk himself. To save everyone, Atom deliberately reduces his own intelligence to infiltrate Sakabot, aiming to recover the stolen minds and resolve the crisis.
