A meteorite goes into Earth orbit and launches flying saucers against the world. Professor Benson discovers that the meteorite was sent by an alien planet whose inhabitants have all died out, leaving the computers on board the meteorite to mechanically guide the robotic saucers.

I Pianeti contro di Noi/The Planets Against Us/Hands of a Killer (1961)

Power Rangers Time Force - Quantum Ranger: Clash for Control (2001)

Another outing for the Power Rangers, this time acquiring a new comrade: Quantum Ranger. At some point in the proceedings, the Power Rangers travel through a 'time-hole' and encounter a robotic Quantasaurus Rex. (Come back Torchy, all is forgiven.)
