Ro-Busters

Story:

'Upstairs and down sewers': George Washington is fatally wounded during the pursuit in the sewers and eventually died at Ro-Jaws graveyard. Two years latter Ro-jaws befriends Annabel a young girl who convinces her mother and foster father to buy him. They have a really great time untill 'pi', the robot butler of the house complained about a supposedly bad influence Ro-jaws could have on Annabelle (6 pages).

Comments:

Ro-Jaws who wants to join the resistance is rejected for his 'ridiculous' shape (later, in the recent Volgan War arc he will have a pivotal role in the robot resistance hierarchy). Georges Washington little squad of rebels have named themselves after famous human freedom fighters, or so they think because one called himself Oliver Cromwell and the other Napoleon. Thanks to George Washington tombstone, we learn that this story begins in 2065 and will end around 2068, i.e. ten years before Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein found themselves enrolled in Ro-busters. That's leaves ten years of Ro-Jaws untold stories.
