My brother passed away a few years ago. I still can hear him asking me, "Who's that, Ricky?", "Ricky, can Giant Robot beat him?"...and me telling him, "Sshhhhh! Just watch. Giant Robot will beat them all." I cried like never before when Giant Robot flew into that meteor. Thank you. Thank you very much. (BTW - I'm 38-years-old now.)

Once he is reassembled sucessfully he will return from out of the sky.
