Matt Douglas is a teen gamer who is an expert at the single-player action game "TROiD". While battling the second to last level, the game's protagonist, TROiD, reveals that he is born from the robot planet, Electrotopia. In-game, Matt decides to activate TROiD's weapons in the final level of the game. The antagonist, Voltage, steals the power source of Electrotopia, the Core of Peace in an attempt to conquer Earth.
At school, Matt meets Gabi Ramirez, whom he has a crush on since first grade. Gabi asks him to be his partner, so that they can complete a science project together, although Matt is nervous to ask her out. Back at home, Matt is shocked to discover that TROiD has landed on Earth and asks him for his help, and after a debate on what to do, Matt convinces Gabi that TROiD came from Electrotopia, and they decide to help him save the world. Meanwhile, Voltage and his minions Electro Red and Wilkins have tracked TROiD's whereabouts to Matt's home, and the military brainstorms ideas on what to do.
The following morning, Matt and Gabi try their best to keep TROiD out of trouble at school, especially Gabi's group, the Technology Club. The United States Armed Forces, headed by General Lassi and her assistant Celia, arrive at the school and demand to know where TROiD is, claiming it to be an alien. The three escape from the school and the military captures them. Voltage proceeds to arrive, and after defeating the military, he damages TROiD's mirco-chip and steals him while teleporting into Electrotopia. 
Reid steals a motorcycle from a biker shop in order to find TROiD while Gabi fixes TROiD's mirco-chip by wiring it into a transplant device.
