Life was nice in his lab until suddenly humanity is threatened by the evil, oh and demented Professor Mallahide and his horde of vicious nano-bots. It is up to TIM to team up with the fourteen year old Chris and his classmate Anna (who just happens to be the daughter of the mad professor!) to stop this disaster. Who will win in this titanic battle; Professor Mallahide, or TIM, Defender of the Earth!?!
