“The Watchwraith!”

Reporter Mack Killburn interviews the townspeople of Clairton trying to get the scoop on Rom only to be told that the story about a giant, killer robot was all a joke. When two local kids enter a mine shaft and accidentally awaken a robotic Watchwraith, Rom is forced to battle the creature through the center of town. When the conflict concludes, Mack accuses the residents of trying to cover up Rom's existence and is surprised when the people of Clairton rally around Rom and send the reporter home without his notes.
