[edit] Synopsis
Sam and Max use a giant robot to save the world from a meteor attack, and are faced with the problem of what to do with it once its usefulness has expired.
[edit] In-Depth Synopsis
The Geek builds a do-it-yourself giant robot for Sam & Max so that they can save the world from a meteor. After hitting the meteor, and a scientist's ship, away from the earth, the robot becomes a giant hunk of scrap metal out on the street for a while, where Sam & Max have it getting the tops off of jam jars, picking the kids up from school, and being pooped on by birds. However, they soon realize that this robot needs a purpose, and head off for Japan, because that's where all the giant monstrosities can roam free. Upon arrival, they do battle with a giant baby, before noticing that their robot is not recommended for children under 3 years of age, due to small parts, and have to think of a different way to get the baby away. After creating a failed rattle from a conveniently deserted fast food restaurant, the Mecha Max picks up a tanker from the back of a truck, and attaches "one big nipple" to it, which the baby proceeds to drink. After it's head blows up, hey! What do you know! It's that scientist from the beginning, and his "MENSA-Level" chicks! Sam & Max donate their robot to the scientist so he can continue his "research" in outer space. After attaching giant bottle rockets to the back of the Mecha Max, he is launched into space, causing Max to cry. They just blasted off their ride home!
