Junkbot Undercover is the 2002 (?) sequel to the 2001 LEGO Club puzzle game Junkbot, whose graphics it seems to reuse wholesale. The goofy spy theme contrasts the darker soundtrack, darker environments, and much tougher challenges.
While recording this video, I had to solve absolutely every level myself, as there do not seem to be any online walkthroughs of the game, at least not that I could find.
For some reason, Junkbot Undercover does not seem to be as well-remembered as its predecessor. This is a shame, as, in my opinion, it is the better game. Where the original devoted quite a few stages to tutorial functions, simply demonstrating mechanics to the player for the "real" puzzles later, Junkbot Undercover has fewer toothless stages, and the challenges it offers are a lot trickier, at least if you aim for all Gold Awards. In addition, Junkbot Undercover actually has an ending! Not that I ever saw it when I was a kid. Without this sequel, the original feels incomplete to me.
I recorded this footage by running the game through BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, an astonishing Flash preservation project that I cannot applaud enough.

I beat it one time back when I was a kid Swear I spent like a week on it so many headaches
i was obsessed with this game when i was younger, my parents had him printed on a birthday cake once

The developers of this game should release Junkbot 1 and Junkbot 2 Undercover on steam. I would so buy it in heartbeat. I remember playing this on the Lego website back in 2001. It's crazy how this game is now 20 years old and I was only 4 when this game came out. I miss those early 2000s flash and shockwave games. There were so many that I've played and I still remember playing to this day.

@@DeathBloodRider It's a purpose-built application designed to run Flash programs. In other words, it has Flash built in. The reason browsers stopped supporting Flash is because it's a security vulnerability. Flashpoint isn't a browser, though, so nobody can hack into your computer through it.

@@DeathBloodRider there is also a free, open-source flash plug-in available as a browser extension (or server-side, also) called Ruffle. Since it’s written in Rust, a type-safe programming language, it doesn’t have the same security issues that plagued Adobe Flash. It only supports content developed for older Flash versions so far, though, so content made after around 2013 may not work correctly.
This game feels so memeable, look at those faces Junkbot makes in cutscenes lmao
Oh man I am getting nostalgic, amazing how recent this video is. Thank you for uploading the whole game
so grateful for these uploads, junkbot exposed me to techno and contributed to a lifelong love for electronic music

Talk about unlocking a core memory, btw that spy kit junkbot buys, when adjusted for inflation, it would cost around $69.33 as of 2023
And we never ever knew what Project Y was about...
If you are only for the ending skip to 1:22:07!
Young me always thought it was a birthday party. Good to see I was correct.
3:05 the lyrics to this song (probably): “We got space heaters people, we got space heaters”
Those Gearbots are pretty stupid, trying to go behind their boss's back. (If you didn't know in, Junkbot 1 you become the factory's new president if you 100% completed the game.)
1:24:44 Oh no! The mastermind is revealed with a plan B! Its name is Project Y!
I couldn't beat this one its much harder than the first
Ah yes, the infamous project x, kept me awake many a school nights, planning and scheming.... before the days of youtube tutorials. This game taught me more problem solving and critical thinking than actual school.
I wonder what that Project Y was. A concept for a cancelled Junkbot 3?
I don’t believe I managed to get all gold, but I do remember that ending.
Junkbot Undercover was released in 2002, actually. I vaguely remember playing it in the summer of that year. You might even see it on the 2002 Lego game's page on Web Archive.

@@Galidorquest no they still had the game on Legoclub.com but it got removed from the website in 2010 after I finished 2nd grade bit I think I could still play the game on websites like goodgame and jayisgames. But then after like 2012 you couldn't find or play the game anymore. The last time I played it was in winter break of 2012 I remember and I hadn't played the game ever since. And yeah I was 5 or 6 when I started playing it. I remember I would play with my sister (she was the one that found it) and we would get stuck on some really hard levels like trapped in the freezer and changing the lightbulbs etc. Lol some good simple freakin times. 😢
