Superheroes in Distress

Superheroes in Distress (Adiwira Dalam Bahaya) is the 16th episode of the second season of BoBoiBoy Galaxy, and the 40th episode overall in the series.

Synopsis
So many questions are running through the minds of BoBoiBoy and his friends since they discovered that it was Adu Du who sent the distress signal to TAPOPS.

Is he responsible for the rampaging monster inside the factory? And why does the monster bear a strong resemblance to Probe?

BoBoiBoy Rumble's powerless state also complicates things even further. Now, the two rivals must learn to work together to escape the infernal factory, or become trapped in its hallway forever.

Plot
The issue starts with everyone's confusion as to why Adu Du sent the distress signal to TAPOPS-U. BoBoiBoy Rumble and Gopal call the squarehead out and confront him, nearly leading into an argument until Qually intervenes with a cup of tea. The tea time allows Adu Du to explain himself, revealing his story and how Probe ended up captured. The alien reveals that while hunting for Power Spheras, they realised they were being followed, and that the monster following them eventually devoured Probe. After listening to Adu Du's story, Rumble agrees to help Adu Du. His friends warn him that Adu Du might try to kidnap Ochobot again and attempt to persuade him to switch forms. Adu Du, who overheard the conversation, eagerly asks BoBoiBoy Rumble about his powers, which the fusion form confidently shows off.

Just then, the robot-eating monster shows up and knocks in the room the group was hiding. Gopal tells Adu Du out, complaining the room is no longer safe, to which Adu Du replies he did not know the monster has found them. Rumble attempts to engage the monster, only to get bailed out by his friends. Adu Du leads the group in a heated chase with the monster and reveals it only eats robots. Unfortunately, this puts Ochobot in danger. Gopal asks Adu Du to throw one of his bombs at the monster, who responds by saying he has a limited supply.

Adu Du leads the group to a large hall, where Rumble smugly taunts the monster. Adu Du uses his archery skills to weaken and bind the monster. Qually stares at the alien in awe, while Rumble prepares his attack. Adu Du tries to reach Probe, but the monster has completely consumed him, and Probe is unable to respond. Gentar then whacks the robot eater with his large hammer, which unfortunately doesn't do anything. It then proceeds to step on his foot. Before Rumble can retaliate, it kicks him and attempts to eat Ochobot. Gopal and Qually perform a combo attack, managing to hurt the monster, before it fights back with destroyer laser beams. The two boys have to bail Rumble out of danger again, as he tries to engage the robot eater.

Ochobot leads the group to a safer place, where they try to make sense of the situation. Adu Du argues they need to defeat the monster, not run away, before Gopal reveals the truth: Gentar is actually powerless. After a tough struggle trying to keep Rumble out of danger during a heated chase, the group eventually takes shelter in an abandoned room. A grief-stricken Adu Du angrily tells out the group for not admitting in the beginning that Gentar was powerless, while Qually argues that the squarehead would have tried to capture Ochobot knowing that information. Adu Du denies this and accuses the group of getting in his way, but before anything can escalate, Qually suggests that Rumble's components may not be compatible with one another, which would manifest in the fusion's powerless state.

As the group muses needing a stronger weapon, Jo Bot leads the group to Nubot's security room. There, the group discovers that the system is fried. Ochobot manages to quickly restore the security system, getting it running again. They then fid out Adu Du and Probe in the tape recording, revealing that the squarehead was also responsible for tampering and sabotaging the system. Just then, the robot-eating monster appears in front of the group and attacks BoBoiBoy Rumble (who taunted it again), crashing him into the buttons panel and causing him to accidentally activate the X99 security system. The robots misidentify the group as intruders and attack them, causing them to get eaten by the monster. Jo Bot reveals the presence of CodeBot within the monster, but before anything else ca be revealed, the robot eater identifies Ochobot and pursues him.

Rumble tries to attack but his powerless state greatly hinders his performance, causing him to get knocked down. Adu Du demands the monster release Probe though is also knocked out. Rumble's powerless state allows the robot-eating monster to eat Ochobot. However, immediately after Ochobot is eaten, Rumble's powers begin to manifest.
