Mega Robo Bros vol 8: Final Form s/c back

Ooof! Right in the feels!

The climax, crescendo and full-on finale to this exceptional British series for 7-to-11s will see robotic brothers Alex and Freddie power up one last time to confront their true creator! But not before those powers have been stripped away - it's going to grow grey - by the one person they've always trusted the most.

Ouch.

Family favourite MEGA ROBO BROS is a spectacular, action-packed, smack-down thrill-a-thon bursting with laugh-out-loud comedy as the two brothers argue about everything under the sun. It's very family-centic. But Neil Cameron, an observant and very thoughtful parent, has always imbued this series - his series - with a warmth, depth and sensitivity towards growing up that you won't find in the American superhero series which have long since ditched the awe and wonder for such ferocity that there are few I'd feel comfortable buying for young ones.

MEGA ROBOS BROS fills that void perfectly: the mechs are massive, the stakes are still high (here, they are global!), the forms are glorious, the colours dazzling, plus it's a big bundle of fun while the school scenes provide the grounding which kids can relate to.

Here you to then:

A world war between humans and robots may be imminent.
The boys are on trial.
And Alex's memories finally come flooding back, in full.
