My first memories were of heat and steam
as my metal shell cooled.
I awoke with a hunger for the end of all things dark,
and a love of all things light.
But I was forged on a dark world overrun
by the unstoppable shadow, creatures
from another dimension with a hunger for destruction.
Our world was ravaged.
Nothing could stop them.
The last surviving humans barricaded themselves
within a fortress of artificial lights, Beacon City.
My mission-- to find a weapon that could end the darkness
and bring back the light.
Like the shadow, my power enabled
me to jump between dimensions with the hope I could find one.
It was my very purpose.
I had to succeed, for I was their last and only hope.
They named me--
But my mission led me somewhere I did not expect.
[MUSIC PLAYING - TIMECOP1983, "STATIC"]
The shadows, they're advancing.
Red alert.
Red alert We're being overwhelmed.
We need to bring in the big gun.
Sound the signal.
[MUSIC - TIMECOP1983, "TIMESCAPES"]
Light it up.
Take that shadows.
And some of that.
And a bit of that.
You can't destroy the light.
Mission accomplished.
No one can beat Gun Metal Max.
(Gun Metal Max Toy) The world has been saved.
Have you found the weapon yet?
No, I haven't but we're still looking for it.
Light it up.
[PLAYFUL SOUND]
If the shadows get it, then we're all dead.
You don't have to thank me.
It's my job.
Dad?
The power's out.
Dad?
This isn't funny.
Dad?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[CLATTER]
[GASPS]
What are you doing, boy?
Who said that?
Who?
No.
What.
Err.
What said that then?
We have many names and travel to many worlds.
But this world is unique.
I don't understand.
That's the story from my comic book.
Arrgh, book?!
A child's answer.
Wherever I've come from, I'm here now.
It's all in my head.
It was just a game.
That's right, boy.
It was just a game.
A game this world will lose.
(Gun Metal Max Toy) Light it up.
Light it up.
(SNARLING) Max.
Light it up!
[FIGHTING NOISE]
Away, darkness.
We don't have long.
The shadow will return.
Gun Metal Max?
Fascinating.
You're my hero.
How did you get here?
My power enables me to jump between worlds.
It led me here.
But that's just make-believe.
It's all made up.
There are countless different dimensions,
each more different than the last.
But this world does appear to be unique.
Do you have a name, human?
Ben.
Well, Ben, I am Gun Metal Max, defender of Beacon City.
I have been traveling across countless dimensions in search
of a weapon, a weapon to destroy the unstoppable shadow.
I believe that weapon is here, Ben.
And it appears the shadow knows it too.
They'll stop at nothing to destroy it.
I need your help to find it, Ben.
I need your help to save our world.
