Heroman

An orphan named Joey lives with his grandmother in a city on the U.S. West Coast. He works part-time at a restaurant to support them and is fascinated by robots, especially a high-end model called Heybo, which he cannot afford. On his way home from school, he finds a damaged Heybo in a trash can after bullies accidentally destroy it. Joey repairs the robot, naming it Heroman. During a storm, Heroman is struck by lightning and transforms, growing large, displaying American flag colors, and obeying Joey's commands. Meanwhile, an alien species known as the Skrugg is preparing to invade Earth. Joey and Heroman must now work together to defend the planet.
