Amato meets Mechabot passing by the crash site on the way home where Maskmana obtains a sample of the debris.

At DeStar, Amato notices that Aman, Sah and Mayor Andy were behind Project Maskmana, taking turns to fight crime under a secret identity.

Sah reveals that the Maskmana suit was made from the same material as the space prison's hull, empowering its self-learning technology.

Amato tries to have Sah fight Grakakus with Mechabot to prove his worth, but declines due to health concerns.

He tells him about MechaBot's past and how he considers him as a friend, so Sah cancels the separation allowing Amato to mechanize and defeat Grakakus.

The group visit Aman in the hospital who thanks everyone for saving his life, before Andy informs them about another robot attack, to which Amato sets off for another mission.
