History

In 1965, Automan, the Automatic man was created by Professor Miller Sterling as the first independent-thinking automation. At RobotTech he was fed a wealth of information via intricate teaching computers. Though he had a successful career as a robot-for-hire, he will became the bodyguard for Sterling's great-great-granddaughter, Stella Sterling.

In 2092, he will encounter the intergalactic detective, Star Hawkins, and his faithful robot-secretary, Ilda. It will be during this adventure, where the two robots will work together, that they also fall in love.
