Seems to me that Jeph is not so interested in creating a plot-oriented story, so all the tedious working out of details gets telescoped into one quickie comic. Which is probably for the best - there's a reason most writers struggle with lengthy exposition.
Assuming Punchbot is reopening the Robot Fights as a legal enterprise, he'll need some good metalworkers to do repairs. Where could he look?
Gyrre:
Punchbot is a CPA.
Punchbot is a frelling certified public account......
Wow....
Well, I guess now he's the proprieter of the first National Robot Fighting League.

Additionally, there are only 2 seasons of Gargoyles and Transformers: Kiss Players never happened.
Method of Madness:
And The Cape had six seasons and a movie.

In reference to this being a Deus Ex Machina:
Yeah, it totally frikkin' is. Just because Spookybot could eventually end up causing problems later, and just because things aren't entirely perfect, doesn't make it *not* a Deus Ex Machina. Within the current storyline, we were presented with a problem, told that it was insurmountable, and then an all-powerful being with effectively infinite resources and power showed up and singlehandedly resolved the problem, dispatched the villain, and neatly tied up every subplot that might have come about from this arc.
Yeah, sure, Bubbles wasn't magically cured of her PTSD, but when Zues shows up and kills the sea monster for our plucky hero, that doesn't magically end his quest either - It just ends the interesting conflict in the most boring way possible.
The only difference between this and a traditional Greek myth is that in the myth, people at least knew that the gods existed and were mucking about *before* they showed up and saved the day.
