I had to start over.
But I was able to use
the spin frame from Ambush
and take the circuitry sleeve
out of Noisy Boy,
and it works.
He knows nothing, but it works.
It really, really works.
What works?
I got to turn it on.
Left jab, right uppercut!
You put Noisy's voice recognition into Atom?
- Pretty smart, kid.
- Smart?
It could be genius!
It could be the most incredible thing
in the history of the entire world!

Easy there, chief.
Did you drink all these sodas?
I might have had a few.
I need you to teach him to box.
Are you kidding me? He's not advanced
enough to handle Noisy's voice command.
So he needs your moves. Your commands.
- Start over from the ground up.
- Forget it.
You were a boxer.
Yesterday at the Zoo, you could see
things happen before they even happened.
I haven't boxed in a long time.
I'm not starting now.
- Who's going to teach him to fight?
- You're doing fine.
You don't need me. Sorry.
That was really cool, though, that dance.
You should do that on Saturday night.
- Don't make fun of me.
- I'm serious.

Before the fight, when you guys
take the ring, you should do it.
There's no way I'm dancing with a robot
in front of a boxing crowd.
Are you kidding me? This is just a show.
People want to see something
they've never seen.
Look. You think of all the greats.
Think Ali, Sugar Ray,
Prince Rakim, Gammer,
they all had their nicknames.
They had their personas.
They all had flair.
Now you? You might not have much robot,
but with that dance, you got flair.
Plus, you're a kid.
People love that kid thing.
- What are you? Like nine? Ten?
- I'm 11.
Are you sure you're 11?
Yes. I'm sure I'm 11.
Anyway, the point is people want to see that.
You're really not messing with me?
I am not messing with you.
They're going to love it.
- Cool.

- But...
- What?
- I won't do it unless you help me.
I can't dance. You're on your own there.
No. Boxing.
- Oh, I see.
- I program the robot.
- You teach him to box.
- And you dance.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Deal.
Deal.
It's going to be cool.
Nice.
You're going to be punching guys bigger.
You're going to have to punch up.
That's it.
Nice.

You, too, old man?
Come on. Let's get to work.
Nice! Let's do that again.
Nice. Three-punch combo.
Combo.
Again. Again.
Faster. Faster. Nice.
You're not even out of breath.
I like it.
Let's see how you move.
That's good.
Step around! Left hook! Left hook!
That's it. Every time.
Upper cut!
Great fight, fellas.
105.5, WRUT, the satellite home of robot boxing.
Caller two, what do you got for me?
Have you heard about this little bot
out there, his name is Atom?
Oh, yeah.

My buddies and I saw him
the other night, and he dances.
- Did you say "dances"?
- You heard me.
He dances pre-fight with this little kid,
and the crowd went nuts for these two.
You put the gimmick aside for a second,
and I'm holding here a list
of the bots he's beaten.
Chaos. Wall Street. One-Eyed Jack.
No slouches on that list, right?
Atom's fought them all, beat them all.
This bot is fast! He escapes shots
from these bigger bots, it's insane!
No doubt. I'm telling you, listeners,
remember this name:
Atom. That's right, A-T-O-M.
This bot is one to watch.

- Awesome fight, sir.
- Thanks, thanks.
Great fight.
- You guys put on a good show.
- Thanks.
We'd like to invite you
to fight on our card,
Virgin America Spectrum Detroit,
Friday night.
Right. That's a WRB...
That's a League fight.
Damn right it is. What do you say,
fellas? You ready for the show?
It's the undercard,
but it's still a League fight.
I just want you to be relaxed.
I want you to be relaxed.
No freaking out.
Don't get all freaky-deaky on me.
You go freaky-deaky,
this whole thing can go south.
Whatever you do, have fun, have fun.
You got to have fun, you understand me?
We've come too far to get out there
and freak out and blow this whole thing.
We're going to have fun,
and we're going to not freak out!
We're going to stay loose,
and we're just going to bam him.
I've spent my whole life waiting
to get here. We're going to...
I tell you what. Trust me when
I say no freaking out. You got it?
- I got it.

- Good.
You have been invited to Lemkova Suite.
Follow me, please.
What was that? One more time.
Lemkova Suite. Zeus Suite.
Sure. Yeah. Let's head up
to the champ's suite. Sure.
Wow.
- Gentlemen, I'm Farra Lemkova.
- Yeah. I'm Charlie Kenton, and...
And this, of course, is Tak Mashido.
Holy shit. It's Tak Mashido.
I know you have a very important fight
tonight, so I'll get right to it.
It's a little far from the action for
my liking. It's nice. I like it, though.
Very nicely... Wow. That's a great shot
Look at that. You want an autograph?
Would you mind?
I'd like to buy your robot.
He'd be useful sparring bot for Zeus.
And for that I'm willing to pay.
$200,000.

- Done.
- He's not for sale.
Of course he is. We can definitely...
- He's not for sale.
You are 15 minutes away from getting
in the ring with Twin Cities, a vicious League bot.
So, to be clear, my offer stands
until the starting bell.
OK. And just to be clear,
he's not for sale!
Not now, not ever.
Give me a minute to clear this up, OK?
Tak, how are you? Max!
Be smart. I know you love him, but in 20 minutes
there may be nothing left to love.
- Think about it. Take the offer.
- You think about it.
Why does she want Atom?
Because he's different from other bots!
Yeah, he's different.
He's smaller, weaker,
- and he's going to get his ass kicked.
- He's a boxer.
We taught him to box.
You taught him to box!
- That's worth something.
- I think it is, too.
I think it's worth 200 grand.
Two hundred grand.
We can go round and round this all night long.
Look at me.
But it's not going to happen.

I got a fight to get to.
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight,
the march towards
the Real Steel Championship
makes its way through Detroit's
Virgin America Spectrum!
Kicking off the evening,
in our first undercard, the two-headed tyrant,
Twin Cities!
Opposing Twin Cities,
in his first professional fight,
hailing from parts unknown,
Atom!
- Nice work, boss.
- Thanks.
- Did you switch him to fight mode?
- Of course.
- This bot is tough to put down.
- Atom can do it.

Look over there. You see those geeks
with the joysticks and consoles?
They're controlling
everything their bot does.
They're monitoring his systems,
seeing what he sees,
stadium feeds of the fights.
This is not like the underground
handheld remote bots
we've been fighting.
This is the League. Stand on that.
So what do we do?
We fight smart, we be patient. And pray.
Seriously, pray.
Ready!
- Ready!
Fighters ready! Fight!
Slip! Right! Lean back.
Right, left! Cover up!
Damn it.

Lean left! Lean right!
Cover up! Cover up!
- What's going on in there?
- He's taking too many hits.
Get your hands up!
Get out of that corner! Move!
He's getting killed in there!
Tell him what to do!
That guy's got two heads, a foot
of reach on us, and no blind spot.
He's got to have a weakness. Find it!
Wait, wait, wait.
Right shoulder, right shoulder,
right shoulder! He's got a tell!
He's got a hitch in his shoulder
every time he throws that right bomb!
We got him!
See? Here it comes again!
Duck! Spin!
Slide left! Roundhouse! One, two!
Backstep. Backstep.
Backstep. Lean right.

Come on, Charlie! Get in there!
Got to get in close where
he can't use that size and reach on us!
Left to the body! Right to the body!
Left to the body!
Yeah, it's working!
Stay downstairs! Left, right, left!
- These program modes aren't working.
- Left! Right hook, slip!
Right uppercut! Left uppercut!
Duck left. Counter right!
- Get him, Atom!
- Here comes the Charlie Special.
Three-punch combo to the body!
Out! In! Counter!
- Two-one-two!
- Two-one-two.
Stay on him! Lunging right!
Don't let him go. Right to the body!
Straight right to the head!
We got a systems crash!
Get him, Atom!
This is not happening, man.
- Put him away, Charlie!
- Spin left!
Spin right!
Finish him!
- Do it!
- Right uppercut!
He's down!
One! Two! Three!
Four! Five! Six!
We got him. Stay down!
He's out! He's out!
Yeah!
Victory!
