Goofs
The film has been mirrored in some of the docking scenes. When Mega Robot 2 is walking up to the dock at Crystal Vista carrying Leda and Annie the dock is on the left side of the robot. However, the attendant opens the door on the right side of the cabin (Leda and Annie are sitting in the back corner of the cabin). After the passengers exit the camera switches to an outside view and you see the left side of the robot and no docking tower. Later, when Mega Robot 2 arrives with General Wa-Lee you again see the docking tower is on the left side.

Quotes
Wa-Lee: What are you going to do with that rusty old tin can?
Marion Drake: Take out the garbage, scumbag!

An OK B movie

As a low budget movie this got a lot right, but there are big elements holding it back.

The Good: Barbara Cramptom is great as always. They actually built some real sets and it made it feel more authentic (instead of just in a warehouse). The stop motion effects were fine and the best way to pull off the robots on their budget. Also at 72 minutes it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

The Bad: some of the actors are passable, but most are poor (to be expected). There are some really tired tropes (jerk hero harasses strong woman who later falls in love with him), that were tired when it came out. But the biggest problem is the hero. Our main character is intensely unlikable the whole time.

It's a fine B movie that isn't painful to watch. Might even be fun with some friends to laugh at it with.
