The story begins with Tommy playing a video-game. His mom ask him, if he cleaned up his room yet, while he is just reminded how dirty his room is. Then he activates Robotboy telling him this place needs a clean-up. Robotboy complies with gathering every toy around. Gus Turner pops threw the window after the attempt to clean the room backfired and telling him their heading to the beach, but Tommy said he can't. So Gus persuades him with an idea that his dream girl Bambi might be there so they head-off (minor Robotboy for safety) to the beach. Debbie Turnbull comes in and flips seeing the mess and immediately dumps it all in a bag to be delivered to an orphanage along with Robotboy. Tommy is is now mad at Gus for not being truthful before and returns home, Gus gets real tan with a funny face on his belly, which he calls "Belly-Man", and finds out Robotboy is gone an sets off to retrieve him only for Tommy's mom to order Donnie Turnbull to bring him back. Meanwhile, at the said orphanage a young boy named Booker accidentally activates Robotboy and is amazed at his existence until, other fellow orphans show up to bully him and his plants. He asks him to hide quickly. Lennie loves messing with him; as well as his goons. Robotboy and Booker become friends. Booker hopes he'll be adopted soon an announcer calls his name for a meeting with grow-ups for a potential adoption. Booker shuts down Robotboy for energy, but the bullies find him. Tommy and Gus get to a sign pointing to the direction of the place to go later arriving when they dress up Robotboy like baby, mess with Booker again him shout they ruined his chance of a family before getting a swirly Tommy stops them and wants Robotboy back. That is if he fights Lennie for it then a wrestle begins Gus supporting/ Robotboy getting shut off and on by the boys struggle over the watch. It's almost over them which of course it isn't as Donnie comes swirls Lennie to remind anyone who messes with his little brother it's him after which he drags him home. Booker hands him his friend over and thanking him. He wonders if he is gonna be okay Tommy isn't sure then replies "you" he looks back seeing Lennie getting ready to hurt him that is til the announcer calls him again and by luck he gets adopted. Gus enoying his face of his and then Lennie slaps his belly ruining "Belly-Man".
That's right, Brobotboys! The first episode to star the Human Fist!
Oh no! A fantasy with my least favourite character from the show, Bambi!
That's right. The only episode to star the orphan, Booker.
Hello, Bellyman!
Again with the Dexter's Lab references!
Now Donnie's saved the day!
Ha! Hilarious Goose torture porn!
Okay, where do I start? My pros with this one are Bellyman, Booker finally getting adopted, Donnie being a good guy, even if it wasn't for long, and it's the first episode not to star Doctor Kamikazi or Constantine.
My cons are, Bambi, my least favourite character from Robotboy, being in Thomas' fantasy. Plus, Thomas got grounded for no reason. I blame it all on Goose! This is a good reason as to why I killed him off in my Robotboy fan fictions. Also, we don't know whether Booker's biological parents just dropped their son off at the orphanage or if they died? The only things that made this episode for me were Booker getting adopted and Gus getting slapped while being sunburned!
My rating: 7/10.
4. Constabot.
Written by: Robert Mittenthal.
Aired: UK: 2 November 2005. US: 14 January 2006.
Hoping to win Kamikazi's respect, Constantine builds his own robot to try and capture Robotboy. The heap of metal is so weak that instead of smashing it, Robotboy takes pity and befriends it.
I really don't get what Thomas sees in Gus! Also, he sure is angry at him here!
This Girl sure was messing with Kamikazi's camera!
Oh boy! Constantine accidentally burned Kamikazi's bear!
Ah, Robotboy's friends with Constabot!
That present sure is hilarious!
Here we go! An episode that was without a doubt hilarious! Granted, Lola wasn't in this, but still, it was hilarious! Especially with what Constantine did with Constabot. Plus, at the ending, to forgive Gus for laughing at his petty skills, Thomas gave Gus a present and that is Constabot! And get this, despite any flaw with this episode, this is the first that gets a perfect score from me!
My rating: 10/10.
Final thoughts:
This entire episode wasn't as good as the series premiere, especially with Bambi's fantasy introduction (but that's another story), but at least it had a funnier segment at the end. Thomas gets grounded for no reason and we don't get to see what Donnie does to him at the end, nor do we see Booker's adoptive parents. However, all that makes up for that is Constabot, with all its funny jokes! Still a good episode this.
Episode rating: 8.5/10.
Season 1 scorecard:
1. Dog-Ra: 8.5/10.
2. War and Pieces: 9.5/10.
3. Cleaning Day: 7/10.
4. Constabot: 10/10.
Season 1 so far: 8.8/10.
Cleaning Day's prototype is far better...
ReplyDeleteDespite the fact it makes Bambi have an actual appearance, she's at least having fun with Tommy instead of making it of him (who the heck decided to turn her into a Trixie ripoff after the episode was rewritten), the beach is a waterpark, Gus got the tickets from Bambi's little brother, Lennie's much crueler to Booker, more info about Booker's new parents and his general life, and pretty much my only cons are Donnie and The Human Fist being absent
