Plot
Mechanikat attacks LexCorp with a giant cat robot only to be confronted by Krypto and several of the Dog Stars. Having stolen a container he believes to contain kryptonite, Mechanikat opens it only to find the hazardous mineral nowhere in sight. Mechanikat is soon subdued by the Dog Stars but manages to teleport himself to safety. Back aboard his ship, Mechanikat blames his failure on his overcrowded schedule, and hits upon a scheme to solve the problem after seeing a pair of fighting Catbots.
Mechanikat soon unveils his new creation to Snooky: Mechani-Bot, a fully robotic duplicate of Mechanikat. Unfortunately, Mechani-Bot proves just as treacherous as his creator, and leads the Catbots in rebelling against Mechanikat and taking over the ship. Snooky soon betrays Mechanikat as well, and the cyborg villain is forced to flee in his escape craft. The Dog Stars, searching for Mechanikat themselves, are then stunned when he arrives at their ship proposing that they join forces against Mechani-Bot.
With some reluctance, Krypto and the Dog Stars agree to Mechanikat's proposal for the sake of preventing Mechani-Bot from invading Earth. The group boards Mechanikat's ship, inadvertently setting off an alarm that forces them to take a secret passage to Mechanikat's control center. However, Mechani-Bot has anticipated their arrival and prepared holding cells for each of them. Mechani-Bot then unveils his plan to induce mass howling among the dogs of Earth in order to pave the way for his invasion.
Unfortunately for the robot, this proposal inspire Krypto to lead the Dog Stars in a howl of their own, which allows them to disable and escape their holding cells. Mechani-Bot attempts to escape but ends up running into the bucket of a mopping Snooky and shorting out. The Dog Stars soon take their leave of Mechanikat, while Mechani-Bot is repurposed as a janitor robot.
