The Telebugs were a hi-tech trio of merry monitored robots created by
absent-minded Professor Brainstrain - or indeed, 'Bwainstwain' owing
to his unfortunate lisp. Theses robots were 'Pwogwammed to help people
in twouble', but more specifically to combat the new threat of computerized
villains and advanced adversaries springing up around the country.
The Telebugs' leader was a white-shelled droid called Chip. He was
a calculation robot, able to process data and statistics at a phenomenal
rate. Samantha was the yellow one. She was a hi-tech monitor and
tracking device. Her bow-tie was actually a spinning radar. Then there
was Bug, the red robot programmed to acquire video footage and pictures.
Bug came with a sidekick called Mic, a mobile independent camera.
The Telebugs attached themselves as associates of the local tv station
run by the ill-tempered Mr McStarch. Their main adversary was mad
Baron Bullybyte and his witch-like sister Magna. Bullybyte was in possession
of an evil computer creation called Angel Brain. This wicked trio cropped
up numerous times during the three Telebugs seasons.
In the course of the first season Professor Brainstrain creates a fourth
black shelled Telebug called ZUDO - short for Zero-failure Universal Data
Optimizer. Unfortunately Zudo's wires get crossed and he sets off on
a wild rampage through the english countryside proclaiming 'Evil okay!'
in a twisted electronic war-cry. In a final cliff-top encounter Zudo appears
to be neutralized, but he rises from the depths of the sea to return in
a later adventure...
