The year is 2049 and the human inhabitants of Earth have left the planet to colonise another, leaving behind mechanical Orbots to clean up their mess. But when the Orbot leader, Warhead, blows a few circuits, it causes a war amongst the robots left behind - enter our hero VECTORMAN. With the ability to Morph into various forms, players can change VECTORMAN into everything from a speeding train to a power drill, mechanical fish or even mighty dune buggy in their mission to defeat Warhead.
