Meet Wheely and Props, the Herobots. They look huge, don’t they? Enormous! Gigantic! Big!

They’re not. Wheely is ten-and-a-half inches tall. Props is a half-inch taller. Yes, he’s all of eleven.

The Herobots are action figures, on display in Sally’s Comics & Toys store. Nice place, huh?

The store’s owner is Sally Smiley, who, as her name says, smiles a lot. Smiling Sally Smiley!

“Wow! I sold so many comics and toys today, I’ll be smiling all night,” Sally says, smiling.

“Banks are closed, so I’ll hide my money inside this toy Terrobot! Now that’s a safe safe!”

“Goodnight, fishies! Goodnight, fish-girl statue at the bottom of the fish tank! See you tomorrow!”

“Goodnight, Herobots! Don’t magically come to life while I’m gone! Ha ha! Just kidding!”

But the second Sally leaves, the Herobots do come to life! “YAWN!,” Wheely says, stretching.

“It feels good to wake up,” says Props. “It feels better to bot-form,” says Wheely. Bot-form? Yes!

Props bot-forms into a Herobot with propellors! Wheely bot-forms into a Herobot with wheels!

But both heroic robots are suddenly stopped by a THOOM-BLAST, which sounds like...

The blast comes from Terrobot! “Stand aside, Herobots, or I’ll thoom you again,” it warns.

“Terrobot’s trying to escape!” groans Wheely. “With Sally’s money in its head!” moans Props.

“Yes, I’m stealing the money,” Terrobot sneers. “That deduction will cost you another blast!”

“Terrobot, can we talk about this?” asks Props.ZZTT! “Well, I guess we can’t,” says Wheely.

“Blast my buddy Wheely, will ya?,” yells Props, swooping down on the runaway Terrobot.

Props dodges the blaster, but forgets aboutTerrobot’s mighty, five-fingered fist of steel!

“Oh, no! Props is bopped!,” thinks Wheely,dodging Terrobot boots. “Land safely, Props!”

Oh, Props lands safely, all right! If you call upside-down in the fish tank “all right.”

What’s this? The fish girl speaks! “Hello, Props. Glad you dropped in. My name is Fynn and...”

“I am a Herobot, too!”

Fynn rolls her fins into a magnetic ball andshoots out of the tank. “Follow me!,” she yells.

“Hey, I’m the one who flies,” Props yells back.“But I know how to stop Terrobot,” says Fynn.

“First, we grab this mirror,” says Fynn. “What? This is no time to admire ourselves,” says Props.

Meanwhile, Wheely is trying to distract Terrobot from the front door. But he can’t do it alone!

“I could use back-up,” Wheely says. He looks up and sees: “Props! A mirror! And a fish girl?”

Props yells: “This our our new friend Fynn!How about some help with the load, Wheely?”

“Sure! Drop that mirror on me and let’s wheel,”says Wheely. “I sense an anti-Terrobot plan!”

Yes, imagine you are Terrobot and you see this: Your own reflection. Coming at you full speed!

You’d freak out! And that’s what Terrobot does!It shoots a THOOM at the menace in the mirror!

But the blast ricochets, hitting Terrobot whereit hurts most: in the blaster! “Arrg!,” it cries.

KLANK! Terrobot crashes to the floor, out cold.“Quick! Let’s check on Sally’s cash,” says Props.

“All here!,” says Wheely. “Terrobot had money on the brain.” Fynn asks: “Terrobot has a brain?”

“Actually, it doesn’t! Explain that,” muses Props.“It’s under someone’s control!,” exclaims Fynn.

“We’ll find out who it is together – as Herobots! Welcome to the team, Fynn,” announces Wheely.

The next morning, smiling Sally Smiley enters her store. And for a moment, she stops smiling!

“Why is Terrobot broken?,” she asks. “And how did the fish girl get next to the Herobots?”

But suddenly, smiling Sally Smileyis smiling once again...

...as the newest Herobot gives hera very big-eyed wink!
