Unicom is a powerful organization overseeing most of the world after its economic collapse. They have banned computers and robots in an attempt to ensure "life, liberty, and the pursuit of economic stability." When a Unicom Synth robot infiltrates a southwest TV station and kills the manager, a revolutionary against the gestapo-like corporation, a lowly Unicom delivery man must help the rest of the station survive through the incoming "thermal storm."
Distribution
VHS release displaying the Robot Jox 2 title
Crash and Burn was officially titled Robot Jox 2 in most European markets at the time of release, but renamed when re-released on DVD.
Despite the title, same opening theme, and involvement of Charles Band, the plots of Robot Jox 2: Crash and Burn and Robot Jox are completely unrelated.
