Robotboy S3E09: C.H.O.P. & Destroy all robots

This time, another review on Robotboy will be over and done with.


69. C.H.O.P.
Written by: Tim Madison.
Aired: UK: 9 November 2007. US: 31 May 2008.

Robotboy gets to meet his idol; C.H.O.P whom is a famous helicopter from a TV show. When they spend their time together a bad thing they find out is that the show will have a new mechanical companion called S.U.B, which leads C.H.O.P furious.

Ha! Robotboy mistaking "Pinch" for "Punch"!

Whoa! Lance Chestwax!

Man, Lance signing for a hot woman! 
 
Robotboy like C.H.O.P.

Again with Bellyman. 
 
Uh-oh! Lance and S.U.B.
 
Oh, S.U.B. looks dangerous!  

Now these women don't like Lance.
 
Sub is a plane!

Lance old and fat.

This is another episode that's hilarious and epic at the same time. Might I say, C.H.O.P. looks a little like Budgie the Little Helicopter, what with his eyes on his windscreen. And there's also the running gag of the butterfly landing on the can. And might I say, that blonde girl who got Lance's signature sure is hot. And the fight between the Frieda-esque S.U.B. and Robotboy sure was epic! And Lance's true figure being revealed sure was hilarious! A brill ep overall!

My rating: 10/10.


70. Destroy all robots.
Written by: Robert Mittenthal and Michael Rubiner.
Aired: UK: 9 November 2007. US: 31 May 2008.

When Gus take Robotboy from Tommy and use him to battle with robot toys in a competition, the school principal Culpepper takes Robotboy with her plus the watch and now it's up to Tommy and his gang to save Robotboy.

Fighting Robot toys!

Seriously, what does Thomas see in Bambi anyway? 
 
Man, Principal Culpepper is quite a bitch.
 
Lola's really out of character here.
 
 Gus is a monster!

So Culpepper wasn't allowed to play with dolls as a kid?

I really don't like this episode. It's for the most part crap. First of all, Thomas looking at Bambi really started to make it bad, but Culpepper's confiscation made it worse. And also, Lola was out of character, not letting Thomas attack Goose for stealing Robotboy for a fight. And what was worse? Even though Culpepper was locked up, the groundskeeper let her out! Yep, bad enough to be called my least favourite of Season 3. Yes, I find this worse than I Want That Toy and Tether Tommy.

My rating: 3/10.

Final thoughts:

This episode overall really turned from epic to horrifying. First, we get a helicopter named C.H.O.P., who is great friends with Robotboy as well as a funny old villain, and later, Culpepper confiscates all robot toys for her own enjoyment. Really exciting and a letdown at the same time.

Episode rating: 6.5/10.
