The Jetsons: the Little Bot that could

The Jetsons: the Little Bot that Could is the pilot episode for the newest incarnation of the Jetsons.

Plot
In the past, a 7 year old boy is playing near an astro merry-go-round on a school space playground, when a ball knocks him over. 7 year old William Cogswell laughs and mocks him as he begins crying. The kid, a 7 year old Cosmo Spacely runs off into the school crying, as this is not the first time this has happened to him. He then wishes his parents were still around so he could have someone to talk to. We transition to some time later, as a still 7 year old Cosmo puts the finishing touches on a small robot with a propeller. He then gives the robot a charge with a start-up kit and the robot comes to life. Cosmo names it K.Y.L.E. but doesn't know yet what he wants the letters to mean. Cosmo promises K.Y.L.E. that they will always be friends, much to the latter's joy. Transition to the present: K.Y.L.E. resurfaces during a gathering of bots and droids convention just before Spacely Space Sprockets's 40th anniversary, Rosie is overjoyed. Having been a friend of K.Y.L.E.'s for a long time, she finally decides to bring the little lonely hovering droid into the Jetson home. However, George Jetson is not liking any of it, and promptly throws poor K.Y.L.E. out Meanwhile, George is expected to work ultra quadruple time so that Spacely Space Sprockets will hit 1 billion dollars worth of sprocket sales on the big day of the 40'th anniversary. All goes wrong as the machines malfunction, causing one of the generators to melt down. Due to the severe radiation, only robots are able to go into the generator area to fix it. Hearing that it may be his chance to help win George's favor and grant him a place in the Jetson home, K.Y.L.E. offers to go in and fix the generator, much to Rosie's horrow. Rosie then contacts Henry Orbit, who helped build the generator and with the help of other robots such as Uniblab, Rosie is able to fix the generator, but at a heavy cost, as she was not built to withstand such radiation, and promptly collapses as soon as she returns to the Skypad Apartments. K.Y.L.E. however is able to restore Rosie by giving his energy to her, however, the process will completely melt his circuits and render him dead. Kyle then speedily records a hollogram message, and while charging up Rosie, he stores it in her memmory chip. Spacely shows up just in time to see K.Y.L.E. energizing up, restoring Rosie and emploding into a shell. Later, Rosie plays K.Y.L.E.'s message, where he explains why he did it, and how he forgives Spacely for throwing him out during his teenage years, and that he still loves him even despite everything. Spacely then flashes back to the day he founded Spacely Space Sprockets, when he was just 18 years old, and a happy K.Y.L.E. boundes up and down with joy at the success of his best friend. However, K.Y.L.E. accidentally knocks into a machine which causes the first sprockets to melt into moulten metal and be unsalvagable. The young Spacely then throws K.Y.L.E. out and says he doesn't want anything to do with him anymore, and that he has served his purpose. Back in the present, for the first time in many many years, Cosmo Spacely feels enough emotion he cries for his lost companion, and while cradling the shell of K.Y.L.E. in his arms, he apologizes. K.Y.L.E.'s final wish is to have his parts that are salvagable be donated to those in need, be it human or robot. With the generator back online and the plant running smoothly, Spacely Space Sprockets makes its sprocket that official makes the company break one billion dollars.
