Robotboy S1E03: Teasebots & Constantine Rising

Alright, Brobotboys! Now that I'm done with reviewing the first 2 episodes of Robotboy, let's get on to the 3rd episode!





5. Teasebots.
Written by: Michael Rubiner.
Aired: UK: 3 November 2005. US: 21 January 2006.

Dr. Kamikazi creates an army of Teasebots to take advantage of Robotboy's temper. Robotboy destroys so many Teasebots that his batteries run dry and he is easily stolen by Kamikazi.

We've come to the first appearance of Kurt, Stu and Booker, the school bullies.

Kamikazi has a cute little gerbil, Salvatore.

How exactly did Kamikazi know where to send those teasebots?

Now we have a running gag when it comes to Kamikazi and his children or pets. They bite him on the finger when he offers them food!

Now Salvatore is giant and mad!

Oh boy! Kamikazi is in the Lava-Tory!

This episode really was hilarious! Those teasebots were hilarious, the insults were hilarious! Funny how Kamikazi was in a taxi to get Robotboy, and later got kicked out for not paying for the ride! The way Kamikazi knows where to find Robotboy is why, in my fan fictions, I often make him make the excuse "I'm psychic." Still, a funny episode!

My rating: 10/10.



6. Constantine Rising.
Written by: Scott Peterson.
Aired: UK: 3 November 2005. US: 21 January 2006.

With Dr. Kamikazi in bed with a fever, Constantine decides to try a plot of his own. He kidnaps Lola and lures Tommy and Robotboy to Dr. Kamikazi's lair. Now, Gus is their last hope of rescue.

It's pretty weird here, how Doctor Kamikazi is cold inside a volcano, which is always hot while dormant and/or active. But then again, aren't all cartoons weird somehow?

Cool communication rings!

Now Tommy is locked up!

That sure was a nasty yell Kamikazi gave Constantine!

Now Gus is going with this Scottish janitor back to the Bay Area.

Well what can I say? This sure was a very good episode. Showing Constantine plotting his own evil, the first time Gus gets called "Goose". Professor Moshimo and Thomas Turnbull called Gus "Goose". I think they called him that for one of 4 reasons I can think of.

1. Professor Moshimo doesn't know how to pronounce Gus' name right.
2. Tommy accidentally called Gus "Goose". (Blame Moshimo for that!)
3. Gus is an idiot. ("Goose" is another word for "foolish person")
4. A reference to the Disney character, Gus Goose.

The one thing that actually does kind of frustrate me about this one is that whenever Constantine, Gus, anyone for that matter, calls Lola "Tommy's girlfriend", he gets irritated and tells them "She's not my girlfriend!" Could that have inspired Chowdah screaming to Panini "I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!"? Why does this kind of frustrate me? Lola is Tommy's girlfriend!

But still, this was a fine episode. Also, it shows that sometimes, you do need help from others even if you don't think you need it.

My rating: 9/10.

Final thoughts:


This sure was some episode, wasn't it? We got to see some teasy robots that were enough for Robotboy's batteries to run dry, and we got to see Constantine plot his own evil, even if he did annoy Thomas by saying that Lola is his girlfriend. The reason Tommy shouldn't have been frustrated? Because what Constantine and Gus say is true! Still, a wondrous episode!

Episode rating: 9.5/10.


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.
5. Teasebots: 10/10.
6. Constantine Rising: 9/10.

Season 1 so far: 9.1/10.
