"Robot Wars" is a 1993 film.

Plot summary

A foreign dignitary, Wa-Lee (Danny Kamekona) and his partner Chou-Sing (Yuji Okumoto) are shown how to pilot the last active mecha on Earth, the MRAS-2 (it looks like a mechanized scorpion), which they later hijack. They use it to threaten the Eastern Alliance into war. The only thing standing in their way is Drake (Don Michael Paul), a renegade pilot, and his friend Stumpy (James Staley) who find a humanoid robot long forgotten under the city, the MEGA-1. Along with Archeologist Leda(Barbara Crampton), they use the MEGA-1 to combat the MRAS-2 to prevent war.

Production details

The movie is credited as a sequel to Robot Jox, but it is not a sequel, story-wise. It is more in vein to "another giant robot movie" from the same company.
