The very first episode of a series has to have an exciting, fun, open or interesting start. A.T.O.M. has all four of these qualities.

Axel Manning, a Jo-lan expert just like his father, becomes part of a reality show-turned-trial run after he meets four other teenage rebels like himself: Shark, King, Hawk and Lioness. Mr. Lee, head of Li Industries, chooses all five of them to be test pilots in testing his inventions and machines.

But there are problems when the most dangerous criminal in Landmark City, Alexander Paine (AKA Paine) escapes from Talon Pen prison with a ton of other criminals. As Paine recognises Axel as his ex-partner's son, past scars are revealed and Axel becomes determined to avenge his father and lock Paine up once and for all now with the help of his team, Team Alpha!moreless
