Robotjox - Die Schlacht der Stahlgiganten (1990)
Fünfzig Jahre nach dem nuklearen Holocaust des Dritten Weltkriegs (vermutlich während des Kalten Krieges zwischen den USA und der Sowjetunion) sind offene Kriege strikt von den überlebenden Nationen verboten worden, die sich schließlich in zwei sozial-politisch oppositionelle Supernationen zusammenschlossen; die amerikanisch beeinflusste Western Market (Westlicher Markt) und die Russian Confederation (Russische Konföderation).Um die öffentliche Ordnung aufrecht zu erhalten und um offene Kriege zu vermeiden, einigten sich die Market und die Confederation darauf gladiatorartige Schaukämpfe mit bemannten Kampfrobotern (Mechs) abzuhalten. Gekämpft wird je einer gegen einen. Bewaffnet sind diese Kampfroboter mit Geschützen, Raketen, Lasern sowie mit geheimen Waffen und Ausrüstungsgegenständen.
