Overview

Dr. Chester Dolenz kidnaps Oscar Goldman and replaces him with an improved robotic duplicate in a plot to kill Steve Austin and steal the Brahmin Project secrets.

ASFR Content

Dolenz's new Oscar robot is considerably more convincing than his previous work: every human detail is reproduced, including eating, drinking, blinking and simulated breathing. The duplicate stores confidential documents and Oscar's transferred information in its computer memory, then attempts to eliminate Steve. Steve eventually distinguishes the robot from the real Oscar because the artificial duplicate does not sweat under stress.
