Hi. Does anyone know if the new series goes into detail about what really happened to Tobio? In the english version I don't think they tell us at all. The closest I can think of is in the Japanese first episode "Power Up!", when magnemite belly-flops down onto Atom, Atom has a flashback of a large truck bearing down on him. (Set a shiver down my spine the first time I saw that!

So does the new series reveal what happened or are we supposed to just guess for ourselves? Of course WE have a pretty good idea, Tobio got ticked off that Doc Tenma decided to work instead of play a few times too many, stole the car to go himself to wherever, and got T-boned (to say the least) by a dump truck.

I like how the new series started out, gradually revealing Astro's origin over several episodes, I just noticed they never (not that I remember, it's been a long while since the english version's been on) said what happened to Tobio. Maybe this is revealed only at the very end?
