Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!: Magnetic Menace
Overview
On patrol of the city, Sparx detects a strange force nearby. Chiro is eager to watch his favorite TV show The Sun Riders, so the magnet-fisted monkey insists that he go alone. He hasn't gone far when the other monkeys realize he's disappeared, and they can't contact him in any way. They set out to find him, and after a bumpy ride in the Super Robot, they find themselves stranded in a wasteland of junk, occupied by Lord Scrapperton, a man who has "upgraded" all of his human parts to make himself fully robot. But this guy seems way too happy - creepy happy - and Chiro is suspicious. He keeps the cybernetic collector busy while the monkeys search for their friend. Guest appearance: Eric Idle as Scrapperton

Episode 3: Planetoid Q
Just as Chiro is beginning to understand the mysterious Power Primate, an enormous planetoid known as Q is detected headed straight toward the planet. Gibson's plan is to fly up in the Super Robot, and blast Q with Otto's newly completed gravaton disrupter. Simple, right? Not quite. Imagine the team's surprise when they discover that the giant planetoid is actually a living, speaking space creature! Their only hope is to be swallowed by Q, and disable the propulsion unit within it. Unfortunately for Chiro and the monkey team, this task won't be as easy to carry out as it sounds.
Episode 5: The Sun Riders
Chiro is explaining to the monkeys about his favorite TV show, The Sun Riders, when they see that the Formless are spotted in Shuggazoom City.

While they're training with Chiro, he and the monkeys find out that they work for Skeleton King and that they have taken control of the Super Robot.

Episode 2: Depths of Fear
It's hot in Shuggazoom City. Very hot. So the monkeys decide to cool off with a swim, and everyone seems excited; except Sprx-77 and Chiro. But the water begins to rise, and soon floods the city. On a rescue mission, Chiro's fear holds him back once more, and no doubt would he have drowned if the team had not saved him at the last minute. Deciding to get to the source of the problem, they plunge down to the deep depths of Shuggazoom's water base, to find that the pillars holding everything up are terribly corroded. And the massive dents look oddly like teeth marks...
Episode 6: Secret of the Sixth Monkey
After a narrow victory against an eye creature, Antauri tells the monkeys to create new techniques by tomorrow. Chiro stumbles upon a monkey helmet and monkey glove which makes a shield. Antauri tells him of the original leader and that the glove used to belong to him. Meanwhile, in space, a strange creature finds the other glove, and brings it to the Skeleton King. He is then revealed to be an orange monkey named Mandarin, the original leader of the Hyperforce.

Episode 1: Chiro's Girl
Chiro falls for a new girl, Jinmay, not knowing that she's a robot under the Skeleton King's control, but even Jinmay doesn't know it. Jinmay's monkey companion, Sakko, who was secretly a spy for the Skeleton King, took her to the Skeleton King's lair and then constructed her to be evil. Then it's a showdown between the monkey team and an evil robot Jinmay, under the control of Sakko. Jinmay must remember the good memories with Chiro to get back control of herself, and then stop the evil Skeleton King.
Episode 7: Pit of Doom
With the monkeys always beating the Formless before he does, Chiro is starting to feel a bit useless.

After saving a small abandoned creature from an avalanche of rocks on Shuggazoom's moon, Ranger 7, Chiro takes a liking to the little guy just like Chloe, much to Gibson's dismay, adopts it until they can find its true home planet. At first Chiro has a blast with Thingy, until weird things start happening. The Super Robot's functions go out of whack, even dumping Gibson into deep space. It seems as if Thingy is to blame, but it turns out that a virus created by the Skeleton King is making the Robot fall apart. To make matters worse, the virus has infected Gibson, transforming him into an evil mutant minion of the Skeleton King!

Episode 9: Flytor
Chiro, who is tired of giving up his precious time to protect the city, suggests that an automatic defense system should be constructed to keep Shuggazoom City safe, so he doesn't have to.

But things start to get out of hand when three horrifying beasts slip through the cracks. The team successfully captures them, only to have them merge and go on a destruction spree!
