Tired of constantly having to rebuild his Metal Men, Doc Magnus created a new batch, hoping they'd be better than the originals: Gallium, Cobalt, Iridium, Osmium, Silver, and Zinc. The originals were upset, and walked out. Unfortunately, although they were effective fighters, the new Metal Men were possessed by an evil alien intelligence, Darzz, who had come accidentally to Earth and had flattered Platinum into freeing him from his imprisoning sphere. Darzz took over the new robots, intending to use them to rule the world, so Tina got the other originals to come to the rescue, and they proved they were the better team by easily disposing of the new upstarts - and, simultaneously, Darzz.
