Ep. 5: Astro confronts Atlas again to thwart his technological thefts and plans to enslave humanity.
During his second meeting with Atlas, Astro intervenes to halt the villain's scheme to enslave humanity through a series of technological thefts. One of these stolen technologies involves the creation of robotic parents intended for Astro. The narrative presents continuity issues regarding this encounter, as previous episodes were combined, meaning Atlas had not officially appeared in the series yet. Consequently, Astro’s recognition of Atlas and his reference to a past fight on an iceberg lack context within the current timeline. Additionally, there is no explanation for the discrepancy in Atlas's appearance between the flashbacks and the present day, suggesting that off-screen events from the cut Astro vs. Atlas segment may have occurred.
