"The Great Space Train Robbery" is the first segment of the fifty-fifth episode of Miles from Tomorrowland. It premiered on October 16, 2017 alongside "Mission Pets One", and is the first segment of the first episode in the third season.
Plot[]
With the Zenith on its way to the Tethoscape, Miles informs M.E.R.C. of such. Miles says that Mission Force One is dropping off supplies there so that they can be delivered to the new TTA colony on Planet Cymbeline. Miles and M.E.R.C. check to make sure everything is ready.
Miles meets Loretta, who says that her code is awesome. The code lets the colonists keep in touch with planets all across the galaxy with no static. This impresses Miles, who didn't know it was possible, until five minutes ago. Loretta says that if the colonists plug what Loretta is holding into their computers, they'll be totally connected. Miles and Loretta are glad to both be a part of Mission Force One, but say that the only bad thing is that they don't have much sister-brother time those days.
Miles, M.E.R.C., and Loretta then meet Blodger, who gets creative with his paintings for the colony; he makes a machine that puts paint on the canvas every time Blodger makes a move. The machine then makes a painting of Blodger. Miles and Loretta like the painting, which Blodger calls this "Blobism", Miles says that the colonists are going to love decorating their new houses with Blodger's paintings.
Next up is Haruna and Mirandos, who are just about to fire one of the two holo-heaters up. Haruna says that Cymbeline has temperatures as cold as -100 degrees Farenheit. Mirandos fires one holo-heater up, and it turns out to be very hot. Miles thanks everyone for the contributions just as Zeno informs them about the Zenith docking with the Tethoscape.
There, Mission Force One meets Admirals Watson and Crick, who thank them for taking the supplies to the Solar Express, along with the equipment the Admirals are sending. Miles says that Mission Force One is doing their job to "connect and protect", which Crick thinks is catchy. The team then explain their supplies to the Admirals, including Blodger and his art, stating that sometimes art can surprise anyone. Watson also says that the Solar Express is so fast.
Just as the Admirals are about to tell everyone to board the Solar Express to Cymbeline, a flash of light prevents everyone from seeing what is going on. Miles activates his Spectral Eyescreen's light reduction mode, and finds out that a device was set up so that no one can see what is happening. Miles does deactivate it with his Blastshield, but while that happened, the Solar Express was stolen, shocking everyone. Miles then tells the Admirals that Mission Force One will get it back. The team then performs their signature catchphrase and activates their recruit suits' mission mode, impressing the Admirals, with Crick stating that he never saw it up close and Watson stating that it's very impressive.
While Loretta finds out that everyone on Cymbeline will freeze in an hour, Haruna pinpoints the location of the Solar Express, and Miles pilots the Zenith to its location. Blodger then activates magnification, and Miles finds out that the robots are putting a Nemesystems logo over the TTA one, meaning Nemesystems stole the Solar Express. This is because Nemesystems wants one of the TTA's fastest vehicles to take over all of the travel routes in the universe.
In a Nemesystems ship, Aggro tells Commander Nemex that the Solar Express has been stolen. Nemex says that once the train arrives at their location, Nemesystems plans to copy the TTA's designs and make their own Nemesystems space trains. Aggro tells Nemex that his best bots are on the job.
Two striker bots spot the Zenith, and Mirandos informs Miles of such. A strikeship then fires at the Zenith, and Miles pilots the Zenith behind the strikeship so he can launch the shutdown beam to deactivate the strikeship. However, the strikeship hits the Zenith, deactivating its port side engine.
With the temperature at Cymbeline at three degrees, Miles decides for him and Loretta to sneak on board the Solar Express to take it back while the others fix the Zenith. This means that Miles and Loretta will get some sister-brother time. Miles also tells everyone to meet him and Loretta on Cymbeline.
Miles and Loretta decide to sneak in the back car, and make their way to the front car where they can take control. They exit Miles' space jet and sneak into the back car. They see a defense orb in the next car, and Loretta uses her Naxos skills to deactivate it. Miles and Loretta then see four striker bots in the next car. Miles decides to distract them with his super speed while Loretta deactivates them.
As that is happening, Aggro is watching, and sends in a control bot to take care of Miles and Loretta. With Miles and Loretta done with the control bots and with one more car remaining, the control bot sends them into space with its trap beams, and Miles uses his blast tether to connect himself and Loretta with the train. When Haruna calls, Miles informs him that he and Loretta are doing a little of taking back the Solar Express and going space skiing. Miles retracts his tether, and he and Loretta use their grav-boots to make their way back in the train.
Once at the front car, Miles and Loretta try to take down all of the bots, but the control bot takes away Miles' Blastshield, as well as his Laserstaff. Miles decides to use the Blodger painting to deactivate the control bot, which overheats. Miles admits that Blodger was right about art saving the day. Miles and Loretta then pilot the train to Cymbeline. Aggro informs Nemex of such, and both start to get annoyed of the "kids".
At Cymbeline, Miles and Loretta give the colonists their holo-heaters, which the colonists are thankful for. Miles and Loretta agree that that was some good sister-brother time. The rest of Mission Force One arrives, and are reassured that the Zenith is all fixed. Miles tells them that everything was delivered just in time, and also tells Blodger that his art saved the day. Miles says that that is mission accomplished.

Trivia[]
- This episode marks the debut appearance of Commander Nemex and Aggro.
- Nemex was first mentioned by Admiral Watson in "Connect and Protect".
- This is the second time the Solar Express is stolen, the first was in "The Taking of the Solar Express".
- Starting with this episode:
- The opening sequence is changed. It is narrated by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, where he talks about the TTA connecting the universe and putting together a team known as Mission Force One to stop a dangerous power known as Nemesystems. The opening theme is also changed to the same tune used in the end credits of "Connect and Protect", and lasts fifty seconds instead of sixty from the previous two seasons.
- The remaining episodes of this series would use the Mission Force One label.
- The captioning style on Disney+ returns to the one used in original airings (except for "Grendel's Moving Castle/The Great Gadfly").
- Before they start their mission, Miles, Loretta, Haruna, Blodger, and Mirandos perform their signature catchphrase (Miles says, "Mission Force One," and the entire team says, "Let's get the job done!" afterwards) before activating their recruit suits' mission mode, which also shows what different functions the suits have, and Miles says "It's time to blast!"
- The title card changes from blue all over to silver in the inside and red in the outside (matching the colors of the Mission Force One logo).
- In some episodes, there is a gap between the start of the episode and its title card.
- Also, other characters other than Miles say the title card in some episodes.
- Haruna, Blodger, Zeno, and Mirandos are promoted to regular cast members while Phoebe Callisto, Leo Callisto, and Stella are demoted to supporting roles. In fact, Phoebe, Leo, and Stella's only appearance in this season is in the series finale "The Nemesystems Takeover".
- The closing theme is slightly altered than the one used in "Connect and Protect". It is heard in the end credits of every episode in season three except for "Operation Groovestar/The Suit Pursuit", "The Space Station Situation", "Aggro's Jam/Sea Change", and "The Nemesystems Takeover".
- The aforementioned changes would remain for the rest of the series' run.
