Synopsis
The next destination on the kids' journey is a mysterious factory in the middle of nowhere, where strange objects are built by machines, and taken apart in a seemingly never ending process. Izzy takes interest in the power source of the factory, an enormous battery cell, and begins experimenting with it. Meanwhile, Tai, Sora and Joe manage to activate a robot called Andromon, who's stuck in a piece of machinery. But he's less than grateful, and begins chasing them through the factory. Once the group has reunited, Agumon and Gabumon digivolve into Greymon and Garurumon, but Andromon quickly brushes them away. Izzy then discovers the secret to Tentomon's digivolving, and he manages to become Kabuterimon. After Izzy figures out Andromon's weak spot, he is quickly defeated to reveal yet another black gear. Once Andromon has recovered, he leads the kids to a sewer pipe leading out of the factory.

Continuity errors

 * This is the first time, in the English dub, we hear one of the group refer to their Digivice as a Digivice, though this name isn't actually revealed to the group until later.

Dubbing changes

 * In the original episode, rather than talking about finding a cafeteria, Joe insists that there must be humans nearby (a continuing theme in the early Japanese episodes).

Real-world references

 * When Tentomon begins to overheat, he says "I'm dancing like I've never danced before". This is a reference to the song Maniac by Michael Sembello.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * Kabuterimon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * Andromon is the first Ultimate Digimon to appear in the series.
 * A flashback in this episode reveals a moment in Izzy's past when he becomes upset over hearing a private conversation between his parents. We later find out that this conversation concerned his adoption.
 * In the English dub, Izzy finally abandons his "alien theory", upon making his discoveries about the digital world.
