| Robot Jox Continued Athena visits Achilles in his apartment. Having discovered his true reasons for returning, she drugs and subdues him. Disguised as Achilles, she hijacks the robot, barely fooling the ground crew ("Hey Jock Old Buddy'). Despite the safety precautions mustered by the control crew, the robot climbs out of the silo and onto the Death Valley playing field ("That Won't Work"). When Matsumoto's briefing recording is played back by Athena, everyone sees Tex's murder of the engineer. Fleeing arrest and disgrace, the once respected Jox dives into the silo, smashing his body against the chamber floor. Alexander attacks first ("Alexander's Four-Legged Robot") and, despite the use of the secret weapon, Athena is knocked down. Jumping into his hovercar, Achilles replaces Athena ("That Won't Work / Achilles to the Rescue"). Firing his rockets, Achilles hurls into orbit with Alexander in pursuit ("Space Battle"). A missile attack on his right engine brings Achilles back to earth and a crash landing. As Alexander moves in for the kill, the American robot changes into a land tank ("Transformation") and Achilles attempts to get beneath Alexander's robot. Both machines are brought down ("The Final Confrontation") and the crazed Confederate Jox then attempts to kill Achilles with his bare hands ("We Can Both Live / End Titles"). |
