A man is shadowed through the city by a giant robot who provides a helping hand along the way. This guy is the master of his own domain as he takes over the town–until another fellow comes walking toward him with his own robot in tow. Each giant bot picks up its master and a battle royal between the two ensues, reflecting the action in the video game Titanfall.
