Metal Men #29
Synopsis
Platinum invites Doctor William Magnus to the dedication ceremony for the Metaldome Sports Stadium. Magnus spurns Platinum's invitation, opting instead to investigate a meteor landing, with the beautiful Doctor Garin. Platinum storms out of Magnus' laboratory, and joins her fellow Metal Men, on the Jetaway. At the Metaldome Sports Stadium, Platinum, Gold, Iron, Tin and Nameless mold themselves into race cars, for a race around the track. Before a winner can be declared, their race is interrupted by an enormous golden robot. Crashing through the Metaldome walls, the robot begins to devour all the metal within it's reach. The Metal Men attack, but their strongest blows barely faze the monstrous machine. The robot is about to devour Platinum, when Iron manages to rescue her.The Metal Men form an enormous net over the robot, allowing Platinum the chance to flee. The robot, designated Torgola, easily shreds the Metal Men mesh, then locks a tractor beam on Platinum. Tin and Nameless join together into a pair of blinders, to block Torgola's magnetic eye beams. Realizing that Torgola has already consumed more than twice it's own mass, the Metal Men leap down Torgola's throat to discover just where all that metal is going. The Metal Men find themselves transported to Metalas Five, where they find Magnus and Garin waiting for them. Torgola arrived on Earth in the meteor that Magnus went to investigate. His car was the first thing Torgola consumed upon awakening. Magnus leads the Metal Men to a strange structure, where they are immediately attacked by robot guards.Lead forms a shield to protect the team, blocking and redirecting the guards fire back at them. Once inside the structure, the Metal Men are again attacked by robot sentries. The sentries are quickly destroyed by Lead and Iron. Suddenly, the Metal Men's path is blocked by the massive figure of Torgola, or so it seems. Though identical in appearance to Torgola, this robot is actually designated "Ethos". It has been sent...
