Plot[edit]
Year 2284. Humanity has reached a very advanced level of technology. It has developed robots of all kinds, which in turn produce other robots and is progressively colonizing the galaxy. But one day a hostile alien race reprograms all robots created by men to exterminate the human race. Soon, all of Earth's resistance forces are decimated by robots. The last hope for humanity lies in an elite of warriors, the Low-G-Men, specialized in the use of low gravity backpacks, which allow them to move with extreme agility. The main weapons of the Low-G-Men consist of a spear and a paralyzing gun. Given the very high risk, the Earth government decides to send only one warrior, the best ever, to infiltrate the aliens, in the hope of saving humanity.
