We open in a small town where robot citizens were minding their own business. This was Rivet Town, home to many robots, built or rebuilt. A robot walked up to another robot and greeted them. Some of the children were having fun jump-roping. One robot gives a kid an ice grease cone.

Ice Grease Robot said "There you go." Robot Kid said "Thanks."

The kid sat down on the steps of a barbershop with his dad as one robot got his cut. A elderly woman was feeding nuts and bolts to birds. One bird was needing a wind up, then she wound up the bird then continued feeding the birds. Suddenly, bursting out from the doors of a diner called Gunk's Greasy Spoon was an ecstatic robot, named herb copperbottom, who had received the best news of his life spooking the birds and the elderly woman.

Herb shouted "I'm gonna be a dad!" He went to a stoplight robot then shook him "I just talked to my wife. My baby's gonna be delivered any minute."

A driver drove up almost crashing into Herb.

Robot Driver said "Hey, get out of the way."

Herb said "Hey, I'm gonna be a dad." He puts two fuel cigars on a couple of robots "Congratulate me." He did a handstand off the fire hydrant.

Fire Hydrant said "Good for you, Herb." He said to a robot dog that is sniffing on him "Don't even think about it." The dog whimpered in fear.

As he runs, Herb accidentally knocks over a few nail bottles being wheeled by a worker of The Rusty Nail. Rusty Nail Worker exclaimed "Hey!"

Luckily, Herb grabs the bottles and puts them back in place laughing. Herb said "Sorry. How are you? Nice to see you. I'm gonna be a dad!"

Rusty Nail Worker said "Congrats!" He ran by a robot with a cast on his neck as the robot moved away in fear. He went to his house then runs past his neighbor, Mr. Nuts, who was polishing his lawn.

Herb asked "Hey, Mr. Nuts, did you hear the news?" Mr. Nuts replied "Yeah." Herb asked "Beautiful day, isn't it?"

Soon, Herb enters his house. Herb said "I'm here. I'm here. I'm here." Lydia said "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. You missed the delivery." Herb looked down saddened. Kitten Garfield jumped onto the counter. Lydia said "But it's okay." She holds a box labeled "Build-a-Baby!" "Making the baby's the fun part." Herb smiled. So, the two got to work on building a baby by dumping all the parts on the ground. Then they began to work on the baby, Garfield and Odie helped as well by grabbing different pieces that Lydia and Herb asked for and showed them the pictures on the instruction manual. During the process, Herb was trying to piece two parts together.

Lydia said as she looked at the instruction manual "Honey, I think you've got the wrong..." Herb said "No, I don't need to see the directions."

But while he worked, he did look at the directions on the manual for help making Lydia smile. Later that night...

Herb said offscreen "Push, push. Push!" They were pushing together some parts.

Herb falls over making Odie move in fear "Whoa!" He almost lands into a box as Garfield moved out of the way, then Herb landed into the box "Oh!" Lydia laughed as Herb tried getting up, Garfield jumped onto herb's lap. Soon, we hear a baby crying. The work process was complete. Herb got up with Garfield in his arms. In Lydia's arms was a beautiful baby robot.

Lydia said "12 hours of labor. Oh, but it was worth it." Herb held kitten Garfield and puppy Odie up and they looked at the new baby in awe. Herb said "Look at him. Look at him." Rodney then woke up to see his parents "Rodney Copperbottom. He's got your mom's eyes and my dad's nose. I knew we were smart to save those parts. This Copperbottom will do great things for the world, I can feel it." Lydia asked "Honey?" Herb asked "What?" Lydia asked "What's that extra piece?" Herb said "Oh. Oh, no, they always put in an extra..." He finds an offscreen extra piece. He asked Lydia confused "We did want a boy, right?" Lydia nodded. He picks it up and holds a hammer; then walks to his son "This won't hurt a bit, son."

On the boy, we hear a hammer bang on impact and the baby's, kitten's, and pup's, eyes widen. He then wails loudly, shaking the neighborhood. Soon, time has passed a bit and the parents are getting adjusted to their new robot son. Herb was trying to cheer up a crying Rodney by playing a little trick.
Herb said "Got your nose. Got your nose. Got your... Whoa!"  However, he accidentally removed the baby's nose and the father hurriedly put it back on. Later, while the baby was crying, Herb lowered the volume of its noise by turning a wheel on the side of his face. It was like a volume adjuster... for robots! Much later, the baby was now equipped with training wheels, like a tricycle. He then walks to his parents, and he makes them proud as herb took a picture.
