Megas XLR
In the year 3037, a heated conflict between humankind and a reptilianesque race of invaders known as the Glorft leaves the human race all but defeated. In the last hope of saving man kind, a group of humans steal one of the Glorfta's newest and most advanced technological achivements, a mobile suit named Megas. The plan, to send Megas back in time to stop the Glorft before they beat the human race. After being attacked during an attempt at completing this mission, a rushed commander Kiva accidentally sends the Megas back more then a thousand years in the past to New Jersey. Finding the suit in a junk yard, an overweight self-appointed 'gear head' named Coop, soups up the eighty-foot tall robot into his own image of greatness. What he and his best friend Jamie don't know, is that the Glorft want Megas back, and are on their way to the past to get it.
