Plot
Dr. Kouenji Torahiko has excavated ancient scripts from Earth's oldest layer. He translates and discovers the existence of 13 "Star Pieces" that are hidden across Earth. Should one obtain all 13 Star Pieces, their wish shall be fulfilled! So Kouenji creates discovery robots, called "B-Robots", to find all the pieces. However, a trio of such robots was already activated by a supervillain named Cobrander, and Cobrander's evil B-Robots begin terrorizing a town in Japan's Tohoku region, where Kabutack (and his allies in the anime) also happen to live in.

Luckily, a team of three good B-Robots (including Kabutack) has bonded with the professor's son, Kouenji Yuzuru (or "Johnny" in the English dub) and his human friends (whose names will also be localized in the English dub) to fight against the bad B-Robots and eventually recover those missing 13 Star Pieces.
